    I need to run wiring into the cab from the battery or alternator in order to hook up a 2nd battery (marine type deep cycle) to run accessories when I'm in the field working. I'm on my Dad's incredibly slow and intermittent internet, and he's offering to pay for the gear and help me install...

    Proud owner, 2K Explorer (huge post)

    Hello all, Just picked up a new to me 2000 XLT with the teeny tiny engine (OHV I think). Got it for free from an uncle, and despite that, it's in FANTASTIC shape. 90K, superb working order, single owner, and EXTREMELY well cared for. I have a few questions to ask, so I'll do that here first...
