RE: oooh ooooh that smell Thanks Mike, I hope you guys did not get the impression that this happened yesterday, this happened back 2004, That year there were 6 or 7 roll aways nation wide with the M211’s and the M35A2. We’ve also changed the style of chocks. Instead of being two man crews they...

RE: oooh ooooh that smell Hey Mike, I like your idea of the chock system , even though I'm not on the fire department any more, (Moved to a different town,) I'll look into that for my M211. PS It was my fault for the way you guys responded to my topic, I did not explain completely to the...
