Thanks, i honestly didnt even think to look for 24v lighting:roll::roll:
im pretty good with DC wiring, my personal vehicle has more light than the engine sitting at the fire house :mrgreen: but thanks for the advice. i know i have on more than one occasion made a nice firework show...
At least im not the only one;-) and i guess your right by saying all the simple ideas are gone lol
and armadillofz1, correct me if im wrong, the 12v battery charges off the 12v side of the converter, and the converter and battery would "share" the load off the 12v accessories? am i correct in...
ok, thanks everyone, i was researching this topic most of the day and i think when it comes time, i will just get the 24v-12v converter. All i want to run is probably additional LED marker lights and 6-8 LED warning lights for when i take it on fire calls. ;-)
ok, thanks, and what i had in mind was a way to run 12v accessories on the 24v system without any converters or anything like that. and thanks for the input, like i said it was just an idea i had. i honestly didnt know if it was a good or bad one. thanks though now i can throw away this idea...

Thanks everyone, and srjeeper thanks for the info, I saw last nite on the government liquidation site there are some trucks from mechanicsburg opening bid in February, but will that site also list the chambersburg & the gap when there available at those locations also?
Thanks everyone, and trust me ive been doing my fair share of research on these trucks. i actually just spent the last hour or so skimming through the TM for them, the more i look though the more i want one :D
Hello all, let me start by saying it looks like a great site here with tons of useful info! I stumbled across this site a few times but never really looked around much. OK, so a little about myself, Im 19 from Halifax Pa, i do not yet own any military vehicles but hopefully by next fall i will...
