Unfortunately the cigarette lighter is also 24v. I've been reading it might be bad to have a draw off of just one battery in a dual battery 24v system. But I'm new to 24v systems so I could be wrong.

Installed some Kilmat sound deadener on the floor pan today.
It took 50sq ft to do the whole floor and a little on the sides. Found a bit of rust just forward of both rear wheel wells. Will have to cut out and replace eventually. But a quick fix for now. Just some rust converter and rattle can. Is that area common for rusting out?

Took the Safari out for some red dirt fun. might have been a little too wet for this clay like mud. I didn't break anything but definitely want to put some lockers in. One of the jeeps wasn't so lucky, broke one of the rear shock mounts.

That seems to have been really fun! I'd say the jeep was too lucky to have broken just the mounts, LOL. They are not patrol-strong.

You’ll convert some of your Jeep mates over to real 4x4s soon hopefully! Looks great.
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

I decided to take the super wide fender flares of due to the front left one being broken and flapping in the wind when I drive around. looks like it m in the market for some wheel run repair plates.

Theres a converter in the passenger side kick panel that feeds the OEM clock, and the instrument cluster. This has ON/ACC/Constant outputs at 12V. I shitcanned the 30 year old one and replaced it with a beefy 20A (?) one from jaycar. (I run head unit, amp, phone/radio/gps chargers etc off it)
If you search "DC-DC buck converter" you'll find something.
Just have to watch as at least one new stereo I've seen (sony I think) has the "constant" (what used to be "memory") power as the main feed, and the ACC is just a trigger. So that would smoke the original converter unless you did some bodgy workaround with relays.

Or do the inverse of what MR says and slap a 12V alternator and battery system in there somewhere for the legacy gear.
(Just have to remember you need wiring approx twice as big if using half the voltage)
