It looks very much like the Landy 110 sw. My question is, will this turn-out to be the 4X4 equivlent of the ever trendy Yugo? At the price quoted in the article of $9,828.00 could it be anything else? We can all hope that it comes with rear heated glass so that as "Click&Clack" say it will keep one' hands warm while pushing it back to the dealer.

Ed Heite wrote about his fix for a loosening downpipe. Another fix (the
next time you have your manifold off) is to tap the stud holes and fit
"Heli-coil" or "Quali-zert" stainless steel thread inserts. Then, by using
stainless *bolts* instead of the usual nut on stud, your problems are over
and the whole assembly can be removed (instead of cut off) at some time in
the future. Cheers

At the price quoted in the article of >$9,828.00 could it be anything else? Aro's were sold in Canada in the 80's, but not for long. Good coincepot, but the quality was horrible, except for the frame, which is built for a tank. The trucks rots and the engine can't last more than 50,000 miles. A few guys around here collect them and gets them for free since everybody wants to trhough it to the dump. (The owner was giving 50$ to the first guy who left with the truck) Not a good reputation. In the late 80's , there was an american entrepreneur who wanted to bring the Aros completed, less engine and tranny. His intention was to put new Ford Ranger engine and transmission in the beast cos he liked the looks. Don't know what happened to his company or if he ever did operate at all. It seemed at the time like a great idea, since he could get the Aros in for next to nothing. Indeed, it lloks like the 110's but a bit smaller. Aro has been around since the early seventies, I think.

Ihave had excellent luck in all cases where the manufacturer
employs a ball/socket type manifold joint by placing stiff
die springs under the nuts. This allows the exhaust system
to flex as the engine/chassis flexes. Much less strain on the
entire system that way. Most Ford and Chevy four and
inline sixes come this way from the factory.
Tip: Use brass nuts. If the studs get rusted, the
nuts will strip and come off easily, damaging the
easy-to-replace nuts rather than the
difficult-to-replace studs.
