    Can't see the instruments at night

    I went to Walmart and purchased the 6" LED strips that run on 12v and stuck them in strategic places on the back side of instrument panel. 2 strips per set I wired two sets together they are self adhesive wired them into a switch they work great. I have dual alternators so I have a 12v system...

    12 volt conversion

    You know if you think about it all you really need to do is change the bulbs in the trailer to 24v wiring and stuff would stay the same.

    12 volt conversion

    They do make a kit I believe for the 998. my system is on a deuce but you still have the 24v system your just adding a 12v system it is separate so no need to change anything 24v just add 12v stuff that you want

    12 volt conversion

    I think a much better option is a dual system like I use. 12v & 24v the best of both worlds with no need to change anything but the alternator.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If its like the old car master cylinders you put a rod in there and push the piston all the way to bottom and it releases and the guts fall out.

    San Antonio, TX Monthly MV get together!!

    I would vote for it. I am sorry I would have loved to come but I was not able to make it but because of being on disability after back surgery I was just not able to afford the fuel there and back in my deuce. I don't get paid for another couple weeks.

    2015 TX MV Rally

    I was going over the website for the off road ranch. It talked of a deposit as well as the $10 daily fee. I would love to attend but I cannot afford the trip the daily $10 dollars plus food and incidentals as well as a large deposit. Is this something I need to worry about or do I just need to...

    Silly me...I thought I would remove the lug nuts with a breaker bar and cheater pipe.

    I use a 75:1 torque multiplier for my deuce with it a 10 year old could spin the lug nuts off and requires no air to operate. They are easy to find got mine at NAPA I think it was.

    2015 TX MV Rally

    I would like to try to attend the off road & camping portion. I am unsure as it is a little to early for me to tell for sure because of work related issues. It would be just me and my M35A2 if I am able to attend.

    Frying Alternators

    I went civilian after my second alternator. I went with the whole dual setup for the price of an original military alternator. Now I have 12v & 24v system and they push a whole lot more amps and are cheaper to repair or replace.

    Alternator help

    my OEM alternator burned out twice so I installed this kit for the same price a a single OEM alternator. 12v & 24v with way higher output and cheaper to replace if they ever go bad.
