FSM free downloads, although I haven't actually done it yet. I also still want hard copies for if the web is down or I'm under the hood.

Bought this from a MUD member and I'm hoping it will fit on Freedom!

Hopefully power steering will be in the near future.

Small update:

Removed the leather steering wheel wrap as it was old and falling apart. I was happy to find that the actual steering wheel is in amazing shape!



Also found this old bottle of oil in a side compartment:







This oil actually brings me to ask, should I be using oil specific to a diesel engine?





Also I found this cool pic online and thought it could be nice to have a cage like this:








I also found this pic and thought this is kinda what width I was thinking in regards to tire size:

Getting a extra used radiator from Joe here on MUD and then I'm taking it to these guys:

I'm going to have them completely redo it and then I'll switch them out and that should be one less thing to think about. Although something might break when I switch them out since that's life.

Daniel the diesel power steering is on the opposite side from the gassers,I am afraid this will not work and a PSC or Saginaw steering pump will be easier to adapt then this one.

I do believe one of the Canadian vendors has a OEM pump for sale,I believe it was Radd Cruiser but I could be wrong

Q&A

I've had a few questions asked in regards to who we are and what we do and I thought I'd share my answers with everybody so if someone else was curious as well.

1. Question: What are we?

Answer:
Well simply put, we help people. We run a program working with churches to feed and minister to children every Saturday, this is a program we really love and would love to add a few more churches next year. We will also be putting together mission groups to come down and help us to build houses for those with nothing. We are also starting a new program this Christmas to deliver gifts to children that would never get anything. There are many, many needs there and we are there to help fill those voids for Christ. We've been working on the organization for several years as there are many hurtles to jump through down there. We also do business as missions which is where we start or help start companies with the goal of helping the people to earn money and stimulate the economy. Hope all that makes sense.

-Daniel Kent

2. Question: What do I do for a living?

Answer:
Here stateside I run a pool company, but once we move my family will need to live on full financial support from others. As for my job over there I do just about everything. My wife and I will have several rolls to play, we will be the ones coordinating groups,overseeing programs, managing everything with the organization logistically, and running or co-running businesses as missions. I've been in construction for over 15yrs so I'll be heading a lot of that up and my wife is in the medical field so she will be heading up medical missions. Another goal of ours is to be able to help other organizations already on the ground, ie fill in where maybe they can't. Hope that makes sense.
