Ive got an 82' MQ SD33 on a 24 volt running system, and ive got my radios and lights and stereo/amp running off both the batteries without any inverters or dramas.
Under the steering wheel/colum in the dash there is a 12 volt source that powers all of the 12 volt in dash electrics and gauges of the car. This 12 volt source is standard on the vehicle to enable 12 volt things such as the cig lighter to work, and has its own inverter somewhere so the guages and standard 12 volt items dont flatten one battery. To find it, trace the power back from the cig lighter and tap into that, then all your electrics will draw power from both batteries with the stock setup of the patrol. All in 12 volt. Doesnt cost ya a cent.

Yeh

Basically ive done alittle more research and re wired the cars a coupla times since then...
ive also converted from 24volt to 12volt myself since as well....

it draws power off one battery on the accessories power.

its the cigarette lighter power, its 12 volt.

you will run a pair of 6 inch speakers and a decent headunit and UHF no dramas.

i actually run above and 2 6x9s and a small amp on this setup all at once as well and no dramas....

once thing though, if u think about drawing large current like i have mentioned above... then pull the cable out and upgrade it to 4mm.

but for UHF and cd player with a pair of speakers you will have no dramas

Can do

Easy - to do it right pull out whole loom - put in 12v loom, starter, alternator etc.... never look back. Cheaper too in the end as 12v stuff cheaper n easier ot find than 24v new.

I got 2 set ups ready to go when my mates does his (if ever)
