    Yeah I checked for one but I couldn't find it. What makes me think it's rusted badly inside is when I(finally) got the pin out it was all rusted and corroded. I'll get mixing that acetone stuff!! Thanks again for all the advice!!

    Oh yeah the tracks were awesome. Rocket and I will have to go for a look when the conditions are better. Rkinskey, u coming?? Todd can even be winch bitch lol
    I got red dust in my veins.

    Im in. Where are we going and when?
    Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .

    WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.
