You need to post pics of the wire your referring also if you had a dual voltage you could run 3 batteries I did it and its one of the best upgrades I have done.
Watch how hard you drive it your EGTs will melt the pistons they usually like 2100 to 2200 rpms and like everyone has said go over the brakes and carry fluids and tools with ya and a fire extinguisher if it doesn't have one get one have a safe trip and good luck Murphys always lurking about ask...
On another note I had to make a smaller fan spacer I just cut the center out of my old fan worked perfectly. I got her legal and ran a few loads of tin to the scrapper.I also took my bench seat out and put my other driver seat in.I still have more to do and have this trailer to fix up now.I have...
I hope everything's going well I did mine with my 11 year olds help and he was a huge help.If your feeling froggy add a nylon fan best 20$ I ever spent on my LDS.I hope to see more pics good luck and be safe.

I did want to ask your opinion on the auto style lockers not the air.I was looking at the grizzly lockers did some research online and it seems if its a heavy vehicle and not a short wheel base I.e. a jeep I should be OK as far as handling and lay off the throttle in turns what do you think?

I would be interested in disk brakes but not wanting to cut any part of my axles.Ive always been leary of brake failure on any vehicle. My children ride in my truck so I will not go out of factory specs,unless its more or less a bolt in.
Also out of curiosity did you use tool oil or grease in air pack I used grease in mine as that's what was in mine when I rebuilt it not one lick of rust in the air cylinder I used red high temp grease and not one problem only rebuilt for safety reasons as I rebuilt whole system.
Have you checked or replaced wheel cylinder's and your hard lines if you have any rust or sludge in brake fluid, you should rebuild/ replace. The hard lines will rust from the inside out.
I used rustoleum rusty metal primer then painted my MV I'm no professional painter but I'd sand it good with 60 grit possibly then a finer grit.If you use a sprayer to paint it be careful the behr paint will run easy on vertical so light coats.I hope this helps.
I have my Mrap mirrors, solargizer, correct pulley and stencils on the way locking door handles will be ordered tomorrow.I apologize for the rant above but the parts I sell fund my truck, just get upset with things like this.
