    battery problem

    Haha thanks but I did not mention pressing the parking brake release knob because I couldn't remember if you had to or not. Definitely have to press the trailer brake knob.

    Self recovery winch: loosing oil through "overpressure" valve

    Educate me on HMMWV 6.5L GEP conversion?
