Just flat tow the mule behind the 5er. That way you'll never be stranded!

Looks good Alex.

How about this parts truck I went to look at for a friend of mine a couple weeks ago. He wanted it to do a ZF5 swap on his truck.. Bonus parts are a good engine and rear end. Everything other than the engine, trans, and rear end is trashed. Look at the frame.. this is the passenger side, right above the front axle. I drove it down the road like that. LOL

I see nothing wrong there... maybe a bit of duct tape for some extra optional insurance...

So, this fuse pannel thing is a beotch.

I got one pin that does not want to stick either. I'm not sure what the deal is, once its stuck it will stay from testing, but i hate trying ot bend cold plastic with a screw driver.
