Dunno where one is on the web, but I saw a nice one this summer, I was looking at a WAG to buy, and the guy had a new one for it. It went into a front receiver type hitch. Very well built and looked good. Dunno who made it. I passed on buying that WAG since it had 4 doors <G> C'ya Joe-[Back to Top]

pretty good... :)
It's amazing how much MB parts are, even at Schucks or Al's or wherever...
I went in to get just a plain ole' no-name generic Air Cleaner for my
old 450 SEL... they wanted $55 for it... the Fram would have cost closer
to $70... I installed the equivalent AMSOIL Lifetime Airfilter for less
than $20... :)
Hey, my allergist would like to sell that 450sel back to me... his
wife ripped the exhaust system out of it on the road up to their mountain
top house... (you ought to see his driveway, it was great in my Jeep,
we were looking at property right next door to him before we ever met and
this road was worse than most forest service roads...) anyway, the
manifolds, one for each side, sell for about $660 EACH... I wonder
if I could talk Tom out of a Wagoneer frame... :) yeah, like I need another
project... :)

A few years ago we worked for 4 months in a frozen food locker, it was a constant 20 below. We had special suits and could take it about an hour at a time. It took a couple weeks to get acclimated to make it one hour. An hour doesn't sound like a long time, but at that temp it seemed like an eternity. I duuno how those guys in Alaska make it, it's would certainly be a different type of living. What you described sounds near impossible, I have trouble with those small parts in good conditions!
