    the eagle has landed....at Daytona CAT/RingPower.. I'll speak with the general manager to see if we can orchestrate a series of "how to" pictures or even a video that rivals Broke Overland, NeilVVT or Fastidious Restomods... I'm sure insurance regulations for the business may be the obstacle...

    Noobie question of the day…

    After servicing the rotary valves, big thanks to the usual suspects Suprman and Ronmar, my noob question is how do I refill the lost hydraulic fluid..through the “dip stick” port on the a/h power unit or must I remove the top cover of the a/h power unit and pour it in ?

    Removing LMTV suspension compression system

    to ressurect an old thread...my suspension raise/lower rotory valve is leaking more fluid than Joe Biden's head... can the valve be bypassed/disabled by simply plugging the hydraulic lines that go into the manifold?

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    replacing the rusted out gas pedal mount.. I opted to use riv nuts instead of mig welding due to my crappy luck with setting things on fires... nylon spacers are temporary until I get the pedal placement finalized..
