Looks nice. Are those front and rear bumpers aftermarket, unpainted, or do they come black like that stock?

Thanks for that information.

This is the base model w/o frills.

Exactly what I need for no frill trips to the muddy gun range.

Do all ML vehicles have the lock box under the passenger seat? It's literally the only place I think the owner's manual will fit. I don't think it fits in the glove box.

While not making loud noises, the secondary air pump was triggering the "Check Engine" light.

Just completed my first MB repair project.
