Ken are you wanting to put this on your M923? If so it will be easy as buying a 24v system and installing it. You already have neutal safety switch and electrical shutdown. If you want to build it from scratch, I got a guy, Profro, he already has a remote control on his military front winch! He...
So other than adding a ton of Truck-lite spot and flood lights, look for a separate post about RG-31 Truck-lite kit install, coming soon. I think next bed modification will be a steel exclusion ring around the base of the rotational parts. Probably as high as I can make it without it hitting the...
I do agree with keeping the batteries fully charged and full of electrolyte but also desulfated. I have seen and have pulled 10 year old batteries out of military trucks that have had solargizers on them and they would take a charge and work just fine. I found a cab that we cut off of a truck...
The solargizer that the military and I use and recommend keeps the batteries healthy from the start and aren't neant to revive old batteries. I do have a charger that has this function and about 50% of the time maybe less it will help old batteries.
Coachgeo about every 6 months swap the batteries around so they get equal exercise. Also the desulfation does work, you might want to get a solargizer like the military uses, the small panel solargizer won't keep the batteries topped off but will keep them in good condition.
I would look at a small block or shackle flip on the rear axle it has a fair amount as is. The block will keep the helper springs in place for use as a real truck.
Dude that is going to be a heck of a move! For that price I think I would load the M35 and trailer to the gills and drive it down. Take a week to do it on the easy side but will help you exercise the Deuce and trailer, just load the tools last you will probably need them at some point.
The faded spots is from the brace all 1028's came with, the hose and cables are going to be specialized for whatever was in the bed and are unlikely welding hook ups. Most 1028's that were setup for welding used a miller bobcat or pulled a welding trailer with a standalone welder in it.
Best overall combo I have driven is 700r4, 33" tires, 3.40 ish gear. Have had almost every normal setup. Get well built 700r4 first then the others if you want to dial it in.
Okay I need all Mississippi MV owners to check in here if you would please. I am in process of gathering information to get a MV tag law introduced next year, they have totally removed MV's from any mention in the law and Jackson tag and title workers have no clue.
