    Post pics of your auxiliary lighting

    I replaced the winches top-most c-channel w/ a must heavier piece of C-Channel and added a pioneer tool rack and tools and IR and LED lights. I am biased but it is really a sweet setup.

    Stuck in 6 wheel drive?

    I wish I could help, but is there a TM w/ a front axle / transfer case troubleshooting section? Air all air lines routed correctly, something crossed? Do you have a pneumatic schematic? I hate whodunits... there is a resolve, you will get to it.

    tell me about the MEP-501A

    So these MEP501A Diesel Generators are not good to try to start a 24V truck if you leave teh battery switch on? Can you guys recommend a military generator that will do what I want or is there a way to do something so I can use a MEP501A to start a truck where the battery switch was left on?
