Chief is right about the letter being a big hurdle. The only way of approaching that is to address the the vehicle fits the exemption in the 49 CFR 571.7(c) because it was built to the contract specifications of the military. Then that grants the vehicle the exemption from FMVSS. If the...
According to an interpretation on March 16, 1994. Military vehicles are exempt from 49 CFR 571.7(c) FMVSS for the life of the vehicle. Here is a link to the interpretation on the NHTSA website. https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/gm/94/nht94-1.78.html Now there might be a newer interpretation that...
Okay while I would love to own a HMMWV, I'll probably never be able to afford one. But I see many good points from both sides. There is on big thing that has not been brought up and I think is a major factor in this discussion. Everyone is talking about the Hold Harmless agreement between the...

I'd say that your idea seems to be the simplest way. Are you going to add a second alternator or use a solar setup for the second battery? I've been thinking about just adding a 24 slave plug to my dually utilizing a solar panel for the third battery.
I've got one on each of my trucks. lol What condition are you looking for? I've got one that's not perfect that I'm going to replace. It has some bondo in the front and the typical small split in the middle. If you interested it will be on one of the trucks I'm bringing down and you could...
