    CUCV Tires

    I'm think about putting a 315/75/16 on my CUCV. It has 33s on it now. I was just wondering how it would drive with a 35. Its a little slow with the 33s. Should i go bigger than a 35? What do you guys think? I'm wanting to drive it around town and some highway too.

    Where do you connect positive wires to the 24v system to run 12v accessories if the only things on the system that draw 24v are the starter and alternator? I want to install some sort of radio. Should I connect to one of the batteries or the fuse panel or what?
