Re: How many miles do you average per tank?

It would have actually been a 2 barrel carb stock...unless you had something weird on your Terc. Dangerously slow you say, try driving a VW Westy in a head wind and then talk to me about dangerously slow. Couldn't get out of it's own way if it had to.( it was a 2 barrel but the carb was broken and ...

made some front strut spacers

Just thought I would share what I've been up to. I used a 1/2 " sheet of plastic and cut everything out. It sits a 1/2 above the mating surface of the top hat giving you a total of 1" of lift. I'm using 40mm bolts for my strut bolts. Enjoy. Updates on how they work coming in a day or two

Re: path finder/ cherokee springs?

has anyone ever extended the tension rods on the back axle. the higher i go the more forward the axle becomes, thus getting close to the front part of the fender.
