[AT] Portland

[Spencer Yost]

Glad you got to go!  Typically it’s been one of the highlights of my year but it’s been three years now since I’ve gone. Covid in 2020, scheduling issues last year and not enough vacation time this year of all conspired to keep me away. I’m hoping 2023 is the year I’ll make it back.

Mine uses a homemade system with a power steering pump and a cylinder/linkage to raise things. Several here had in integrated pump and lift system that appeared to be a factory option.
