    Nice set up. Don't think you would get imbalance with your set up..... beyond nothings perfect. A tiny balancer, nothing super special would likely be enough insurance though likely not "needed". Folk more expert than I will wade in. Wonder if you could run your 28v charger thru a...

    is the charger auto shut off? Suggest you put a battery balancer in your mix of batts. Since he 12v use side always goes low.... charging with 24v only the charger will end up cooking battery(s) due to imbalance even if that charger has an auto shut off.

    hmmm..... collect cheap used phones or tablets to make your own dashboard lol.. Actually Ive considered that though. Remove speedo and put a tablet there (or place atop it) for this purpose.

    makes logical sense..... and IMHO if locker was in rear axle; that set of tires would end up wearing the most, but having worn even more than what you have experienced. thus far. but that is only speculation and a debate for other threads on something like: "Which axle in a 6x6 for locker...

    you can get that type Locker for around same or less from Bryce Wasielak. He has sold hundreds of them with out anyone having issues. You wont need one in both rear axles. one of them is fine. IMHO do the middle axle so you scrub tires less with it in the rear axle. Granted install in...

    Having not had my hands on a FMTV cover Im not sure.... but would suspect that while they are canvas.... they are liklely also PVC coated unlike the past. If that is the case then a dye likely won't work. And dieing light color over dark???? not sure that works anyway.
