wow, thanks. all of you guys are like friends to me, I can not help myself, I want to be useful and share my experience so perhaps others might benefit from my hard learned experiences.

I do not know if I should get an award, or go get some mental health treatment for OCD.

It feels good to be wanted, it seems often when I try to help some one in person I just annoy people. I have a talent for being annoying I guess.

Big-time kudos to Peter for selflessly sharing his extensive knowledge and experience which has helped to keep many Many MANY of our beloved T4WD's on the road and away from the crusher!

I myself have benefited immensely from Peter's encyclopedic grasp of pretty much every aspect of T4WD maintenance and repair, and his ability to relay this information in a way that is accessible, well-reasoned, understandable, and do-able, for folks of all levels of ability from the backyard novice to semi-professional gear-heads and mechanics!

Peter is the gold standard here on the Forum, but there is a supporting cast of many other dedicated T4WD enthusiasts here, all willing to freely share their knowledge and expertise for the greater good. It's a beautiful thing!

Long may you run...
