Yes, everything you listed should work. If you need a new hood for your A2, the A3 hood won't work.

I use a 10' long steel pipe on a my 3/4" drive, 20" breaker bar and it works quite well. The socket I use is an impact socket (1 1/2").

Welcome aboard! Post some pics of your deuce when you get a chance.

You can choose to skin that cat however you like. Whether you need a timer or not really depends on the application. So, what you call a "best practice" may work for you but may be highly impractical for someone else's application. That is why I would be reluctant to call most things that are...

Hi all, I wanted to start a thread for people to collectively post their parade pictures. There are almost 500 parade threads, but not a single one that everyone can post their pictures to. Upon posting, please provide some general information about the parade. This is a positive thing for...

The most important question you need to ask yourself is: What is the total load of the 12v components that you wish to have? If you don't plan on running something super serious, like a 12v winch, then for the simplicity and price you should probably install a voltage converter or several...

A timer is overkill unless you suffer from some sort of short term memory issue. Using a timer is certainly not the norm for a good reason and implying that the using a relay isn't proper, just comes across as silly and ill thought.

Give this truck a look: http://www.jatonkam35s.com/M925-4X4CONVERSION.htm In my opinion this is the best looking bobbed 5-ton. Probably a little easier to build to since you can put a deuce bed on it which means you don't have to torch anything. Also, you can still put a canopy on it...

If someone is choosing to use the 720w/30A Pyle converter, then I would suggest installing a relay, solenoid, or breaker (rated at 30A or greater) before the converter so that it isn't powered when not in use. I like the 100A solenoid because I have two of the converters (30A + 30A = 60A) and my...

You need a solenoid switch. I got mine on amazon or ebay from a company in middle GA. It is 24v and I think 100A. If you can't find one online let me know and I'll dig up where I got mine from. Mine is pictured below. It lets me kill all my accessories with 1 switch on the dash.

Welcome to the site, from your neighbor in Smyrna. I thank you and your wife for your service!

I have two of these Pyle 720 watt converters in my M35A3 and I swear by them (not at them). This topic seams to come up all the time and I am always pushing the inverters because they are cheap, easy, and work very well. rThey put out a lot of power too. See the build thread link in my...

I'm guessing about eight years ago.

My sentiments exactly. The depression gets even worse when you consider how fast he has managed to do all of this.

I can't wait to watch this project come together. Your work is second to none.

What amperage or wattage is it rated for?

What was the total for 2012? Just curious as to how far we were from our goal. I really like 3dAngus's idea. I also think we should consider a donation at check in during the next SSGR, or any rally for that matter.

Apparently the link after your link is broken but just looking at the pics I don't think you could wire too much to it at 12v. I mean, it doesn't look very substantial. You might power a cell phone charger off of it but that is about all.

This is correct.

I guess the lesson learned is: Don't post anything to the "Conversation" forum if you think you might want to later edit it.
