A few months ago I ventured to Norfolk to pick up one of the Ametek fiberglass helmet tops. I built a plywood deck on the top of the 1102 trailer and pulled it with my f150. The trip went well. The Navy happened to be moving a carrier out to sea while I was on the bay bridge and tunnnel...

Posted on the G today also.... Today was surely Friday the Thirteenth. On the way to pick up an m1102 trailer at Ft Mead, about 3 miles from the main gate, the engine started to really get loud, oil pressure was normal, it was cold out and the water temp was normal. Having no other choice, I...

The wooden crate arrived today! Inside was an NOS mile marker 10k hydraulic winch, a complete kit. Thanks Mark for the heads up. I have been lubing up the lower A arm bolts in preparation for the install. I also scored an under the hood jack mout and the armor plating that goes on either...
