Adding a front winch to my M1114. It already has a rear winch installed and after getting the majority of it done, I've realized I only have 1 port on the hydro-boost and power steering gear box for hoses.
I know others have 2 winches, and I'm curious as to how that problem was overcome...

Waiting for the correct parts to install my front winch, so I decided to make sure the rear winch is in good order. 2 questions:
1. Does anyone have the installation instructions so I can make sure everything is where it's supposed to be?
2. Pictured below is what I'm assuming is my...
I drove about 90 miles for a car show that the organizers failed to update the info for, so Jak and I were heading home and I took a random road that I knew goes through a national forest.
The day wasn't *completely* wasted. We found a great spring fed swimming hole!
Took some great pics of...
Friday, I decided I needed to stretch the M1114s legs on a shakedown cruise, so I texted @Soupermike and asked what he was doing Saturday. (He lives about 130 miles away). He told me he was off and I asked if it was cool if I could come for a visit.
He said he was going to be puttering around...

Im looking to fab a "ballistic" wall for my M1114 (mainly to hang the rear A/C unit and cannot find a good drawing or sketch or even how it's installed and the unit mounted.
Any help?
So @fuzzytoaster and I were chit-chatting a while back and he asked how the M715 was going and I told him I was just about done with her and I said "Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do to keep busy now.... I still have the fever.."
He says: "Well, there's only one cure for the fever...."...
She stepped up and stepped out!
Met some friends.
Took some glamor shots...
And had a great time hanging out!
All in all a pretty awesome day!
She's burning a little oil, so a ring job is next.....

My horn worked intermittently, then quit altogether. Today I took some time and started troubleshooting. Removed the horn, connected it directly to the batteries, it worked fine.
Checked to see if I was getting a good ground at the horn via the wiring harness and I wasn't.
Going on...
My horn has quit working and I know the issue is in the "ring" on my steering wheel.
My issue is I'm scared to death to pull the horn button off without some kind of direction as I know I'll end up breaking it beyond repair.
Does anyone have either directions for fixing the ground or can...
Ok gents-
I've tried and tried, but I cannot seem to get the sag out of my driver's door.
I've adjusted the hinges (I have found they move them in and out)
The doors themselves
And in the process got the gap too tight (Note the chipped paint)
I cannot seem to get the gap correct and...
Ok all-
Here's where I am:
I rebuilt the T230 Tornado, no oil pressure on the electric oil pressure gauge, so I put a manual testing gauge on and still no pressure.
I pulled the oil pump and made sure it's primed, still no pressure on the gauge.
I pulled the quick disconnect off of the...
Ok all- going to be changing an oil pump when I get in. Looking at the TM it seems pretty cut and dry- remove the 3 retaining nuts, pull it out, replace the gasket and reseat the new one. Any heads up or words of wisdom?
