[ausev] Pics of actual Ranger pack drop

[mark witt]

Hey Marc and everyone.....the new batteries are in my garage and charging. 
26 90ah sealed lead acid at 62.5 lb per batt. The old pack is on the back of 
the trailer and I plan on having whoever would like to come over this Sat. 
around noon or 1:00pm and we will start to label and take the old batts out 
of their cases etc. It's a maze 'o wires but with a little luck and help the 
new batteries should fit in the old pack case.

  I plan on video taping everything and I would at least like to free up the 
Ranger pack tray so that we can remove it from the trailer so that I can use 
it to transport the truck(sans batt. pack) and or another car for display 
and discussion to the Round-up next weekend. Of course there is the freak 
chance that we could have it up and running by then but I'm not stressing 
over that. I still want to add a connection while we have the pack off so 
that I can use a smaller off board charger like the one Chris has.
  thoughts????Witt
