    24v to 12v and problems!!!

    Being a CUCV plus being under some rules for vehicles under 1986 or 85, your State may not need you to modify. Check your State DMV and its laws on Mvs. Please people, I said 85/86 for my state laws. Federal laws just requires seatbelts for vehicles made after a certain year. Id check your...

    Starter Problems. Not so happy holidays so far :(

    I know the feeling, working upside down looking up and drilling and getting those **** shavings in your eyes. Then using a easy out if it doesnt break on you. Redrill and try again.

    Where's Your License Plate?

    Drill two holes for the plate on eitherside of the blackout lights since you most likely dont use them anyways. 1/2 of the black out light will be covered but doesnt matter. Get a light and mount it to the bumber on the side of the plate and tap into your driving lights. If you dont feel...

    Starter Problems. Not so happy holidays so far :(

    Their are two bolts holding up the alternator. Check the front one and make sure it hasnt broken inside of it threads. I had that problem, basically the starter was kicking away from the fly wheel due to that broken bolt. Just a idea of something to look at further. Both bolts should be the same...

    What's this ?

    Looks to be a speaker to a AN/GRA unit. Guess somebody from elmaco took a radio apart in the field and didnt put the radio back together unless he had a new speaker.

    What the H$ll did they do to this bumper??

    Could be worse. I remember being at 29 Palms and a HD forklift was making a right turn onto the next road. The forks went thru the drivers side window and windshield while the guy was at the stop sign. Missed his head by inches. I need to find those picture. It was a brand new mustang it hit.
