    Well,I got another M172A1 trailer

    Brandon, Glad to hear about the lowboy. I was thinking of one to pull behind the M52A2. I think they are a little wide. Do you need a permit or can you get a yearly permit to pull it down the road? Thanks, Gus

    BFG Baja or Wrangler MT/R...

    I think they just auctioned off 3-Wranglers and 3-BFG's from Fort Bragg a week or 2 back. I was at Fort Bragg picking up a trailer and saw the tires sitting side by side on pallets.

    Is this an engine crack or paint?

    Take a torch and heat the area up to see if it expands, where you can see a orange line inside the metal. If you can see inside the outside surface of the block, I think you have a crack.

    Hydraulic Head Assembly question-PLEASE HELP

    Take out the screw. Put on some type of sealant that is petroleum friendly and put it back in. If that does not seal the leak then go another direction. This should be the cheapest before putting on another HH.
