I think the short answer is, there is evidence the MX-7777 was used on wheeled vehicles in some limited applications, not as a standard installation. So if you WANT to install one, to recreate a specific vehicle application or for operator convenience, then go ahead and do it. But it isn't a...

If anybody replicated the AM General 57K6230 Battery Cutoff Switch Kit, we worked withGreg at Dataplates.net to make the 3 instruction plates for the battery box exterior. The yellow on black battery wiring diagram plate that comes with the kit is the regular plate you see on most HMMWV that...
The M1290 InfiniD Power Distribution Box/Inverter, I did the initial research on it quoted above. Inside the 9" x 11" x 3.25" aluminum box are two of these Vicor V1-P111-EV 24VDC to 12VDC 400 watt inverters inside: VICOR VI-P111-EVV DC-DC POWER CONVERTER 24 VOLT INPUT 400 WATT CHASSIS MOUNT...

A clearer photo of the FT Lewis FAV Museum display, there are two mystery boxes to the right of the oil cooler:
Is it possible they installed 2 batteries, wired the body/lights for 24v to power the MT-1029/VRC radio mount, and to allow commonality of the light bulbs with M-series parts, then...
