Put a set of the Kenda RTs on the wife's Heep. Some of the best tires I've used so far. Priced well and minimal tread wear at 15K+ miles. Glad to hear others like them too.

Living at elevation I can say that my 97 HATES the, "ethanol enriched fuel". The only type of ethanol free we have locally is premium at about $4+/gal. When I drive on a warm day, from town (5800') to home (7100') the thing smells like a distillery . It's worse the higher up I go. Last year my...

I hope you find a good glass guy soon. My 97's flares are looking rough and it's time for some new. Good luck

You're doing better than me. I have the same dirt but with mouse turds showing up. Lazy stinking cats.💩

Sounds like you belong on MUD. With the way parts availability/prices are going on the 80s you need to able to build things yourself. Oh, and by the way, Welcome to the insanity!

Fuel pressure?

I painted my 72 Blazer with Rustoleum about 20 years ago using an electric sprayer. Wet sanded it first and thinned the paint down quite a bit. Sprayed several coats allowing it to tack between. I was able to get a real nice gloss by rubbing it out and waxing it after a few months of cure time...

Summit Racing has electric vacuum pumps for use on big cammed cars.

Ours has that strange smell too. I think ours is due to the wonderful amount of ethanol in our gas here. I know a good dirt bike won't hardly run on the stuff after sitting for a week or so. Same smell in it's gas tank as well.

Omaha and weather warming up. That makes chills run down my spine! I was born and raised there, left in 2000. There are a lot of things I still miss about it but the weather ain't one. I noticed that the CWS starts at the end of the week. That always means storms and tornados. Good luck with...

? Snap-On/Free? Never had that happen in almost 40 years of dealing with them unless it was something broken. I am impressed:clap:

We definently notice the summer/winter blend thing as well. As far as oil, find one your vehicle and wallet likes and go with it. What I've noticed over way too many years is that certain vehicles like certain oils as well as fuels better. It's just like women prefer certain wines over others...

Hey Summiteer, you must have checked DOM prices down here in Montrose at Recla. Them boys give you nothing for old scrap but SURE like to charge you when you buy something:)

Being a Montrose resident myself the elevation does tax them a bit. We put 315 tires on ours and regeared to 488s made a huge improvement. The wife keeps track of mileage in ours and in the summer it gets around 15-16mpg but when the winter grade gas comes in it drops by a couple. I love that...
