. Looks pretty good so far to me... Some trim when you get finished fitting it all in place - and it should be as nice as the picture of the inside. :cool:

. Good Deal! Happy to hear it. Figured it was definitely worth mentioning.

. You mentioned Polaris. Have you searched around about Polaris and Recall to make sure you don't have a problem where your steering wheel "becomes disengaged"?

. Kinda have to agree with the rest of the guys... Either a loose clamp or dry rotted hose on the filler neck or on the tank itself. (or both)

. Voltages look good. Sounds to me like the switch is bad.

. I have to ask... No chance of working in that barn behind your truck? It would still be hot, but it would be in the shade... Nice looking truck. Yeah, solo is a whole lot more difficult than if you had an extra set of hands (most of the time).

. Impressive!

I have a little bucket with army men to give to the kids. They got a kick out of getting in the truck and getting a souvenir!! . Something as a give away... Yes sir, I decided last time when I did my first "Touch A Truck" event that having something was just about a requirement. The Library...

. My opinion - for what that is worth - is that your idea is pretty sound. The lawyer dogs will be all over you if anything ever goes wrong though. They will be asking questions about your personal pedigree and where your engineering sheep skin is. Even if your idea is better by thirty years...

. She is such a cutie... Yeah, I mean that the little girl is cute too. :) The balloon matches Bertha? Was that your plan @kendelrio ?

. Gutters are a nice addition! Especially if the truck is dry under the turret cover and when you are rolling down the road...

. Might be worth reading through this thread from the beginning. There are a few "pissy" comments between members, but there is a solution to having your brake lights work without having to remember to turn on the headlights.

. It's a Grove Crane. There is some information, but it isn't very well documented and the fine folks @ Grove aren't very fine at all in my opinion. They aren't willing to sell you a proper manual either. There are no locks that would be stopping you at 3 degrees.

. I think it has something to do with age. Remember when the big fat tires on the back of a Camaro or a Mustang was "the thing"? We did it. Now days, bigger fat tires are just all the rage.

. Well then... Welcome to the Outfit! Interesting black & white picture. Did you buy this truck from another MV owner rather than at auction? I see a nice radio antenna staked down there on the right side. Is it attached to some sort of COMS unit? Maybe some more pictures too!! We are...

. No easy way and using a torch is a bad plan... Wish there was magic. None that I know of though other than lots of penetrating oil and time.

. @customcarswy , That really is good news! So, if I remember correctly the Tipper PTO is what was running all the time? If so, all we gotta do is figure out if something bent the linkage or if maybe a a "jam nut" came loose and let the rod turn possibly. Definitely shoot some pictures if it...

. Silly as it sounds - wonder if the linkage is bent? If you pull the pin, you should be able to push the lever forward and backward. Just to see if you can try pushing the lever all the way one way or the other and see of the truck cranks without engaging the PTO? Might be that when you pull...

. Well, well, well... What a good deal. Now you have a reason for the HMMWV to be a business expense now! Seems like there are a lot of folks who might be willing to spend money to have that feature. Before you spend a lot of effort, two things to remember: There are a lot of folks who...

. Generally the PTO on any truck is OFF (should be turned off) unless there a reason to engage the hydraulics to lift the bed on a Tipper, or the winch to pull yourself out of a sticky situation. It shouldn't be on at highway speeds for sure.
