    Charging System upgrade (?)

    Constructive feedback: I agree with Skinny, keep the electrical system stock or switch it to a documented 12 volt conversion.

    Oshkosh WT 2206 plow trucks

    I spent many days at Griffiss AFB clearing the runway with the roll over plows! Plowing snow at 50MPH was awesome! Lots of great memories clearing and maintaining 2.5 miles of runway all hours of the day and night.
