The 2 way knife switch would be a simple set-up; an enclosure to mount it in, positions marked as to voltages and you're set to go.

Mike, Unless I'm missing something basic, I think this should work just fine.

Bjorn; I posted some pictures of my hold downs in "Battery tray adapters", in the Electrical section. They're machined out of PVC block and grab the Optimas at the bottom. that way there's no top-of-the-battery obstructions for the cables and terminals. And thanks for the compliment; I made the...

Jon, I'll be at Tower Park w/wo. Looking forward to seeing other SS members. Glad to give you a tour. Jack, Yes to hot-rods. I'm thinking baby HEMTT hi-rider... I've already got the 20" wheels; just need to find some of those 'spinner' wheel covers. Does 4" exhaust, not quite seven feet from...

OK everybody, It's coming down here like pouring p1ss out of a boot but I took a few pictures so you don't think Ive been just sitting around, buffing my nails. I got the last of the driveshafts shortened and I'm sure glad that's done. I still had to machine a little off of the shortest...

OK all. Recently I've had my attention diverted by; retirement, taking on another job, a speed bump health-wise and the fact that I have no garage and am working on the baby HEMTT in my driveway. M1075, thanks for being kind enough to add that I didn't specify a year, but yer right... I feel...

Hey!! Quiet you... I'm still pecking away at it. WOW... Was that a glacier that just zoomed by?

Yep, Just got the mounting brackets made and the steering box bolted in place; the fuel tanks and air tanks are on and being plumbed in. Will have a new batch of pictures in a few days. Setting up to bend up the skid plate and will then fab up the framework for it to fit when the plate is done...

Stay tuned, Armada I think I need to shop for a HEMTT steering box, IF the flow rate is compatible with the M900 assist ram as the HEMTT set-up has a second steering box for the #2 steer axle. I determined that, when you turn the HEMTT wheel to the right, the steering shaft turns to the left...

Nope, they were depot rebuilds from Barstow Truck Parts; no idea where they got them from.

Ryan, Yeah that's pretty much it. With this particular project what was a god-sent was having a crane and 16K# cap. saw-horses at my disposal. I just position and securely block everything and attack it with a tape measure and sheets of heavy cardstock paper if I need templates. Doing it that...

I'm assuming no lockers as I don't have any plumbing except for air brake lines and axle vents unless they're internally controlled. I could do a search based on the numbers off of the axle tag but that hasn't been real high up on the list of priorities. Yes to the HEMTT style front skid-plate...

Well, I'm gonna go with three color camo in CARC. It's the stock M35 12 foot bed; it just looks small because its sitting on 5 ton M900 series axles and HEMTT wheels and 1600X20 tires. Just to give an idea of size; I'm 6'3" and the floor of the bed hits at the top of my shoulder. My neighbors...

Thanks for the kind words guys. BFR, I'll be taking orders as soon as they let me out of the home; sometimes, when this or that bracket doesn't quite fit, I feel like I know what it takes to create an ax murderer. Wick and Trango, the gap will be partially filled with walkways on either side of...

Well, the motor and trans mounts are done, installed and the powerpack is secured. The truck made it home today so I can just walk out my front door and go to wrenching; no more 1 hour drives until it's ready for paint. Fuel and air tanks on and mounts for the walkways are the first orders of...
