This is not just the Colorado issue, this is a National issue. We need ALL Steel Soldier members to step up to the DAMN PLATE! to work on this issue. Not, just a few. Does not matter which state. Treat it like the Corona virus. It's coming to your State.

Strength in numbers....divided? well you know the rest... If I was a surplus seller, I'd be worried about these new trends.

They basically want to avoid MV's on the road because there are so many variants and laws, they don't want to take a look at research the shows safety compliance. They also use a blanket statement that because these vehicles do not have an EPA sticker, that they do not meet emissions for that...

I get the fact that everyone focused on their own state. These things I know. Gradually the AAMVA will attempt to get all DMV heads to take MV's off the road. The cancer must be cleared at the AAMVA. Not all DMV heads of respective states attend these meetings. There are many aspects of their...

This will continue until SS members get organized and unified in fighting the legislation. I have tried to organize people on a macro level, but it seems futile. Too much in-fighting.

I would NOT recommend the inexpensive universal power window kits with the flexible center section. My experience is that these lack the power to open and close these windows. You will likely need to replace the manual mechanisms too, as they rust and bind. Not cheap.

All of this comes from a common arena, the AAMVA. When you do battle, be sure to go to the AAMVA website to get a feel for their issues. Most are baseless. Please do not send nasty emails to them. They just need to be educated. From what I read, they don't want to take the time to categorize...

I don't have any hints for the radiator, but while you are in there check the fan clutch, fan air tubing, remove driver's side front engine cover (at injection pump) and check that bolt is tight on gear.

Excellent!

Hit those rubber boots with a spray of ATP AT205, to soften them up so they won't crack.

How much deflection up are you going to allow for on the rear tires when it pivots ?

I used to live there. MI people need to fight this tooth and nail. Get a petition going. They are using classic AAMVA tactics which are based on false narratives. They need to understand that many of these vehicles WOULD meet the EPA requirements for their respective time periods. They also...

In some cases can be fixed, or replaced as Beastmaster said. Used one from a later model would work too.

There's a windshield seal on Ebay.

Go to the Steyr forum and ask.

There have been some, but pretty scarce. Other options would be universal windshield and window gaskets, or order Steyr gaskets.

I'm going to try your technique today : )
