Locomotive batteries are easy to get but really heavy. About 475ah and 350lbs. 8volts, 2volt cells.
I'm getting a few from work and they have a little life left, I plan to either build an electric truck to drive to work or use them for a solar bank until I can afford new batteries
Your welcome Kenny!
Dang it, I'm trying to upload a new avatar, but it says failed. It is less than the 320X320 and 64kb....
I'll just post it for now.
I could bring my pink racing stripped riding mower....
No xm818 of death this year. I ordered a water pump from Erik's last week, and they just shipped it today. :x UPS says it will be here Tuesday, but that's when we are leaving. I'm going to do everything else to the truck to get it ready, if...

I loved going and drooling on the second jeep there Frodo- it is at the FT Eustis transportation museum.
I actually had a chance to buy a set of those wheels, built by fairmont to bolt right up to a jeep. Bought the m38a1 he had instead. Should have gotten the wheels.
The M1008 will be returned to 3 color camo in the future. It is just really low on the priority list. It came from the military exactly as you see it. If your ever down this way, we will go for a ride. I know, one hyrail trip is like another. But this is a different type of hyrailer. Best part...
