I believe in the 6 "P"s.... if you know you know....
I'm pretty sure in the future there will be a time I want to bring both the 5 ton and M37 on a trip and don't want to be limited by the top speed of the M37 on the interstate.... (Let's say I'm setting the 5 ton up as a campsite and...

Brilliant design on the hollow bolt/vacuum channel!
Question for opinions:
Better to have the vacuum operated wipers or electric?
The weather cooperated and I was able to get some things done.
