The Install It worked! Everything is wired as shown in the diagram in post #1 and there were no sparks or magic smoke when both toggle switches were turned on. The install went extremely smooth; however, it took a lot longer than I anticipated. I left home at 0600 and drove 60 miles to my...

The accessory kit is going in the truck today. The install begins with a 60 mile road trip to my buddy's fabrication shop in Pasadena, Texas. I have one more trick up my sleeve... I'm headed out in a few minutes to warm-up the truck. More information and pictures will follow later today or...

Correct. Our cell phone chargers plug into a USB port. In the house, we have adaptors that plug into the wall. Both of our civvy vehicles have USB ports.

M35A2 Dash Light Covers eagle4g63 - Thanks for the PM to clarify. You wanted more detail on how the M35A2 dash light covers were used to blend-in/hide the rubber cigarette lighter cover. The two USB charger ports on the right side of the accessory kit have "USB Charger 1016" stamped on them...

How does 5:15pm ish sound to meet in Navasota? That should put us at the park when gaits open at 6pm.

Is anyone going through Montgomery (Hwy 105) or Navasota (Hwy 6) on their way to the Off Road Park Friday, March 21st? I'm thinking a convoy to Bryan / College Station would be fun...

Guys, thanks for the comments! I agree -- this install is a bit of an overkill for a phone charger and a GPS. I don't plan to use 50 amps of supply current. I had fun learning and planning and, given the relatively small price difference for smaller components, decided why not go with the...

Howdy! There's a rally coming-up later this month in Bryan, Texas. Check it out here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?115645-2014-Annual-Texas-MV-Rally

I thought about using the main switch but decided to go with a separate toggle switch. That way I can charge a cell phone without the main switch on.

Rustystud - Good catch, thanks! That was a classic copy/paste error on my part. I had it hand written correctly in front of me and just copied and pasted the first battery when drawing it on the computer. My apologies. I have gone back and corrected the original post.

I recognize this topic has been covered at length, and I am very appreciative. I've spent a fair amount of time researching 12 volt-related threads and am very thankful for the collective information posted by members on this site. When it's all said and done, my goal for this thread is to...

Taylor, I'm looking forward to joining you in Atascosita one of these Saturdays; however, it won't be tonight. My wife and I are headed to Arlington in a couple hours for the PBR event.

I can bring the horse shoes.

Subscribed. :popcorn: I look forward to seeing your rig at the Bryan, TX rally in March.

I had to replace a wheel cylinder on my M35A2 last week and was able to purchase a new one at NAPA (part number UP 4419) for less than $40.

Howdy! If you can get down to Bryan/College Station in March, there will be a number of neat things to check-out. See this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?115645-2014-Annual-Texas-MV-Rally
