My apologies for the slow response, my schedule the last week has been all over the place. Yes, I did check the post as part of my contact cleaning. I was able to get all of the heavy points and a few of the smaller gauge connections from the batteries, to the starter, on up to the generator...

6TL is the battery number, pretty well universal across the different parts store chains. The guy I'm talking with now is a neighbor that just recently started with Autozone. Supposedly can get the batteries for about 2/3 the price I was spending at Napa.

I only recently found a connection for not as expensive batteries (I was going through Napa, paying almost 500 a pair, if they could get them). Just checked both of mine and they're at 12.85 and 12.88 so they're definitely taking and holding charge, they discharge fine with the engine cranking...

I have my airframe cert, and as soon as time and travels permit, I'll try to test for my powerplant cert. As far as a maintenance nightmare, I'm not looking at it as such, I know driving this thing is expensive, and we knew that going in, especially since the vehicle is a daily driver. Owning...

I understand the concerns about the differing battery dates and such. I plan to start working the batteries the same way as an aviation maintenance facility (at which I work) in that regular charge, discharge, and capacity testing will be done. Both batteries were top charged before being...

I did have a battery go tengo unfiorm on me (which prompted the jump), top charged the remaining good battery and installed a new battery after top charging it as well (I forgot to mention that tidbit). I'll be rotating battery positions monthly from now on. I'll try a continuity check in a...

Hey all, Trying to get this typed up before my laptop dies. Over the last few weeks, my 998 has been showing a low charge indication after warm up and during driving. I'm still running the 60 amp generator on it, which was recently replaced, and have cleaned all connections that I could...

Pics to go with my previous posting.

Hey all, I realized I've not been the greatest about keeping up with posting about my mods. For those that may be interested, there's been a lot of progress in the last few months between all the hectic activity of traveling and such with contracting. Here's a summary of all that's been...

To Helo Driver: My apologies for the delay in posting, but here are the pics for the upper attachment points of the B-bow uprights. The lower is similar in that the same quantity hardware is used, just shorter to accomodate the channel in the lower crossmember. Three bolts could probably be...

To Helo Driver: The black brackets between the radio shelf and dash are original to the shelf. There was a rifle barrel clamp attachment on one which is one of the reasons I purchased it. I just drilled and cut the holes for the USB power outlets. I'll get a picture of the upright attachment...

Lemme know what ya would need for it in a private message and we'll go from there. I'll have to talk with my CFO as we're currently hunting a set of usable hard doors so that we can keep everything somewhat locked up, since we live in suburbia with a bunch of overly curious kids.

I'm definitely interested. What would I need to install it in my vehicle?, as I see it looks like your system isn't using the full sized MCSU.

Progress update: Began termination and routing of RF, serial, and ethernet cabling. Instead of tying all of the cables together the full length of the run, I've decided to partially wrap them in spiral wrap to allow them to flex and slide between/past each other when the laptop mount is...

I can't remember the brand name of the USB outlets off hand. I just searched, "offroad USB port outlet" on that overly famous auction bay site. As for the lighter outlets I just went to a local auto parts store and made modifications as necessary so they would work in their mounting location...

G'mornin' all..... I've had my 998 for about 3 yrs now and the mods I've planned are finally starting to make a good bit of headway in regards to development with some close to completion. I sling wire for a living as an aircraft electronics technician which has given me all sorts of ideas for...

I trimmed the lip of the helmet top (since it's only fiberglass and I'm considering custom building my own hardtop). There's still a bit that could be reset to allow a better fit as the stand off is at an angle leaning aft. However, that would require a bit more surgery than what time allows...

I have the one that was installed when I purchased the vehicle (on the right rear), but have since replaced it with the standoff version. However, I'm stumped as to what could be on the left rear, with all the different system mods that have been "mission dictated". Maybe it's the remnants of a...

I'm assuming some sort of standoff adapter/bracket for an antenna mount. Was here, but in a few months of searching have only turned a couple of possibilities. Anyone out there have any ideas?
