I am running dual alternators so the systems are...
I have ins. through Hagerty but they do not insure any FMV under 20 years old.
Actually only looking for liability at this time but would get comp if I had to.
There seems to be a large ebb and flow on this so only folks that have received ins in the last year or so
So the wife scored some stuff for me at a local auction and one of these items is this cable.
It is 20ft long and has what looks like a heavy duty slave connector on one end and what looks like the connector a shelter would have to connect to the power jack behind the right front seat.

This is a thread on the R1 I just got home yesterday.

With the 365HP tune and busting a 30-35mph head wind (20-30 is VERY common down here on the Coastal...
I took my sisters Kubota UTV 1140 that I did a top end job and a ton of maint. back to her ranch near Concan today and stopped by Lytle and picked up a few ammo cans on the way home, they only had 3 HMMWVs on hand all lowly R1s, the tan one has a rebuild motor and the steering is a little wonky...
OK I am a little confused, I was thinking part #5 in the first picture connected to part number 8 in the second picture to carry air to the drivers feet, am I wrong??
I was wondering what to do with that port because I will be using the drivers side floor drop that mounts to the left side of...
Hopefully someone has one of these laying around, I need the measurement of the length of the tube so I can have a custom one built for my next project.
Well I picked up a 2007 Duramax LBZ today, I have no idea how many miles are on it etc. we will have to wait and see.
