    I would like a MK48 but either find the 5th wheel unit or build one out of a 17/18 trailer, or find the recovery unit, or better yet TWO MK48s one with the recovery unit, the other with the 5th wheel unit, anybody can have the everyday crappy cargo verson.

    M920 with M870A1

    Chemical Preservative Wrecker cables?

    So true, anything is better then nothing, though you have to be careful what you use, especially with a fiber core, some things WILL attack the core and either eat it or rot it, either way not good
