I am sure of it too. They already enjoy being in the garage with me,
but at this point are just a tad young to actually be 'helpful'.
Most of the time it takes me twice as long to do anything if they are
'helping'. So I figure I'll let the CJ sit until I know they are old
enough to appreciate what we'll be doing. I found the gas cap off the
other day (of the CJ) and found that they had filled the gas tank with
rocks and Hot Wheels! Good thing it's not my daily driver! We had a
long talk after that one.

Re: M100 Military Trailer
 

The heater core R/R is a puzzle and a half, I don't see why the
manufacturers can't make an access panel through the firewall, from the
engine compartment, most we have to remove the steering column too, I
hope you were spared that.

That day will come and go very quick, and you'll still be losing
tools you blamed on them.

Re: M100 Military Trailer
 

>Not true. The M416 has a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern.

Yikes! You are absolutely correct. That's what happens when I respond to a
post early in the AM before coffee. I was thinking of a friend who changed the
hubs on his M416 to match his CJ. Only problem is, he drives a CJ now but at
the time of his M416 resto he was towing with a Toyota. It was the Toyota he
was trying to match.
