Great job on the install, Mad. You beat me to it, I just received my W.R. Long valve from Carver Equipment last week.
I have a Pirraha Root Grapple that I bought a year ago and just am getting around to install. Kind of slow I know, but the grapples have went up alot in price due to steel and the huricane cleanups. So I came out ok.
Anyway, after the 20th when my daughter has her high school open house, I will have time to install the valve and grapple. I plan to post all like you did here.
