    Axle Vents

    Look in the TM's for testing axles w/ pressure. I am pretty sure it was the 5 ton TM I was digging in a few days ago and I saw this. If correct, you can probably get a safe pressure to run at. I doubt you will be able to pump it up to "X" pounds, you will probably need a pressure regulator and...

    Wheel chocks?

    QF, Go ahead and keep using the hollow ones. When your truck crushes it, and rolls, I pray no one gets killed. Guess how I know? I guess you know better than me...

    Wheel chocks?

    DO NOT buy wheel chocks that are the black rubber kind with the HOLLOW center. They FAIL. I bought a couple from e-trailer some time back and they might be ok for for vw, not much more. Make sure whatever you use is SOLID material, not hollow.

    A Frame Crane(s)?

    RE A-Frame mounting alone; Many trucks have Shackles at the top AND bottom on the front fender. I wonder if you could mount the A-Frame poles at the bottom and use the top for support chains and eliminate that pita cable over the top to the rear? Edit, or better yet, loose the chains and use...

    M916 maiden voyage from Texarkana TX to Richmond VA

    The unit is all one piece, as in the alt and reg are one unit UNLESS your truck was upgraded. Is there a bracket next to the alt where a regulator might have been attached? Maybe a pic of that area?
