I saw some stuff at Hundy's aka 100Dollarman's last time I was up there. Don't know if he pulls small stuff to sell/ship, but you could ask. I hope to stop by there if I have time Thursday after getting Justin from the airport to Barstow so maybe I can look again and grab what you need.
PM me...
I can grab you the part number if I still have the box. I think it was 29 or 30 plus a 15 dollar core.
The 24 volt one I used was 123 with no core. It was a one wire. I used the exciter wire off the 24 volt system to turn my 12 volt system on and off via a relay.
It's been a couple months...
TM America's 12 volt alt kit is 50 bucks. Any decent auto parts store will sell you an alt for that kit for less than 50 bucks. Even with the one new belt needed you're only just at 100 or slightly over that.
Then your 12 volt side and your 24 volt side don't mix. I went with both his kits...
Sun just peeked through over here. Taking the deuce to a Scout event for a few hours. Hoping the convoy lights will draw attention to them since they are fund raising.
I still want in a Dirtbag T shirt (TAN) unless they have already sold out. I'll be there in spirit I guess. I hope the new...
Here are a few mock up pics of my first idea. The two extra tanks would go all the way in the rear and hang from the bed's cross braces. I could use just the U pieces or cut and mod the original mount and use all long grade 8 bolts. Pay no attention to the current drains or fittings. That...
The paint that was one the truck was pretty nice. I saw it up close Wed. It looks a lot better TAN though.
Looking forward to getting my truck done by the 100Dollarman team.
Thanks, but like most of my ideas, it wasn't mine. I copied the kids that tricked out that ham radio M109.
Since I have no welder (yet), I have to make do with what's laying around and grade 8 bolts.
Ok, it's a little better to look at now. I clear coated it to help with fuel spills, but it's too shiny. It needs dull coat.
A box would need to be around 16 1/2 x 13 1/2 x 15 tall. We could make it 3 inches shorter by removing the handle, but that would make it a PITA to get in and out...
I drain my tanks, um I mean soldier B drains my tanks every night so the compressor would have to fill them all each time.
I guess I'll be different. :)
My system hold air really well now that the air wipers are gone. I think there was a leak in there somewhere.
Are you planning on keep your tanks full at all times? Seems like it would be more wear on the compressor. My thoughts are to have them like an onboard air pig. I would like to mount them like the OP did, but I am open to other locations.
It sits in the garage unless I plan on using it on a trip. I was thinking about a water proof cover for road trips, but I like your box idea a lot. I would have to remove the current shelf since it has a V channel up the middle (Old mud flap), but if I used a box I wouldn't need it anyway...
I wouldn't mind a bigger generator, but I don't need it really. We bought this for our pick up camper since we mostly dry camp. We haven't killed the batteries yet, but carry the genny and a battery charger just in case.
I wanted to take it with me on the deuce to run some tools. Though I...
Old thread (thanks again Clinto for helping find it), but I am working on the same mod - sorta. I see no reason to keep all four tanks full, so I will isolate the extra two with a valve (probably in the cab) and then only fill them when I want to run some tools.
Thoughts?
You see how easy they adjust up and down? The pic is all the way down. I would like them up another 6 inches but there's no hole there. I might have to CAREFULLY do my own.
I added another circuit breaker today and hooked the heater and convoy lights to it. I put everything back on the stock breaker like it was. I pulled power from under the dash like DH suggested so they only come on when the ignition switch is on.
I installed a brake warning light from a HMMWV...
