    Operation Homefront Fill The Deuce

    It's heartwarming to see an old soldier "soldiering on". Serve your country and serve your community. The greatest thing about this hobby is it gives one a great desire to give back. Thank you and your truck for your volunteerism.

    Did I just break something?

    Before moving... 1) I always build the air pressure 'til the buzzer goes off. 2) I work the shifter from 1st to R and back listening for the air release and thunks. I don't know if you broke something, but you might want to check it out.

    Battery cut off switch

    24VDC 300 Amp / 450 Amp overload. They are pretty beefy. I seem to remember these were used in the M113 APC's and M60 tanks. Seems like they would handle a lot higher load than that.. The pic is of a brand new/NOS switch. I bought mine slightly used and it was painted 383.

    Battery cut off switch

    Battery Master Disconnect Switch (see pic). It's wired between the negative ground battery cable and the frame grounding cable. Mounted inside a locking box in an inconspicuous location.

    M818 opinion needed: Quarter fenders or not?

    If they come off I am going to put Deuce style mud guards on. I have a WTB ad listed in classified if anyone is trying to unload some. I am trying to omit that gap from the underside of the bed with the mudguards coming straight down..
