    I am seeing you at Findlay to pick up seat cover and am driving through Ann Arbor on my way to Findlay. I will have a pretty much empty M101A2 trailer with me.

    New Tires - 285/75/16 on stock springs and wheels - different size spare?

    I recently put unique 16x7 model 297-7780 with BFG 265/75R/16E1 on my M1031, they are great especially in all the snow I have been driving through. My data show the Unique Model 42 is for 15", you might want to check on that.

    New Michigan License Plate Law for MV's Passes

    My truck is set up for plates but up till now I have been hanging my trailer plate off the back end with bungee. I will interpret this to mean as long as I have trailer plate in the truck I am good to go.

    Solar Battery Charger

    I set my solar panels on my dashboard and plug one into my lighter socket and the other has a lead line that is a quick disconnect. I did not want my solar panels mounted on my vehicle as I use them for other things, also leaving them out is one more temptation for someone to break into my...
