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...
Thanks to Mark for the great tips! I took some time to get acquainted with the winch install this weekend. Yes the brake caliper must be removed to have the clearance to get the new bolt in. I basted the bolts in a combination of PB and a product called Nuts Off. I used a brush to slather...

Here are the pictures of the new mule hauler. It looks like all they need to do is install the LED lights and wire up the electric brakes. The tongue mounted storage box lid is even with the deck and has room for chains and tie downs. A well known mule hauler reccomended a wrap around rub...
