Re: Front Axle Stuck On
Thanks all it did eventually release after fiddling with it. I'll try engaging and disengaging it over time and see if it gets happier

Front Axle Stuck On
The front axle button on my truck (just got it yesterday) is stuck IN. Is this expected or is there a trick to disengaging ?

Onboard Tool Kit
Has anyone compiled (or know of a source) for a complete recommended onboard toolkit for the C303/TGB11 series? I'd like to compile a kit that would contain as many hand tools and necessary specialty tools for any roadside/trail repairs. Think of what you'd take with you if you were living out of yo...

Re: Thoughts on 12V on a TGB
AppleTech, As you noted, doing a 24vdc to 12vdc can be a major undertaking trying to source 12volt C303 parts. Another option is to run a separate small 12vdc generator/alternator off of one of the two V belts. Obviously. one belt will have to be longer than the other and a mounting bracket will ha...

Re: Thoughts on 12V on a TGB
Unfortunately switching from 24 to 12v requires rewiring the truck and replacing every electrical item. The C303 civilian versions came with 12v wiring and relays.

Re: Thoughts on 12V on a TGB
Yes that's exactly what I'm thinking. In this setup that we're discussing, are the grounds shared or does the 12v need to have home run grounds to the devices?

Re: Thoughts on 12V on a TGB
Thanks! This all sounds great. Any issue having the connection between the 24v to 12v charger run on a 24v relay that is only active when ignition power is on?

Thoughts on 12V on a TGB
I am picking up a TGB 11 later this month (so excited!). I don't plan to do anything huge to it for now (waiting on budget to grow a bit) but probably the first project I will tackle will be a 12V system so I can run a GMRS radio, headunit, and backup camera. What is the suggested way to get a 12v c...

Re: Sourcing TGB
Phil, I purchased a low mileage 1975 TGB1314A two years ago and would easily do it all over again. He lives in Randelman, NC and has a nice selection of trucks. Take care. Jim Thanks - I think doing the same is what I need to do. I want a good base to build my own truck off of. I don't want one alr...
