Reverse lockout? Turning/cutting brake lever isn't visible in this picture.Turning/cutting brake has an nautral aluminum knob

The cylinder/hardware is there for the cutting brake below, you can barely see the shaft and knob for the cutting/turning brake. Good catch Mike.

Matt, are those the two cylinders marked CNC with what looks like brake lines coming out?

Yes, that is the cutting/turning brake hydraulic cylinder. You can barely see the lever.

Lets you brake either rear wheel independently to make the car turn better.

I think it would be very easy to add a good and effective HVAC system that is lite and compact to the Hummers. Power would be low amp, and could be added to the electronic control system in the Hummer already. It would be a simple code to write. I'm sure that RG and the Crew are on it and have already thought about it.

Yeah, Toyota has some very small electric units with low current draw - Lexus.
