    Searching for the right LQ-2 Valve WCDFAPL-100

    They are out there. Eastern, Erik's, Big Mike's show the part if you want military Surplus.

    Fixing the 1998 HMMWV

    What is everyones thoughts on the IBIS TEK medium duty tow bar?

    personally, I don't like them. There were many used ones surplused through GL and I saw several ones snapped. I had a good one in my hands and seemed too light for my non engineering brain to accept. Company bit the dust so no support either. you don't see medium bars snapped out there.........
