Default Off Topic, it's been another two years. - 05-14-2007 , 08:34 PM





My old Bronco past SMOG today in flying colors, with three hundred and
fifty thousand miles and the heads have never been off. Just change the oil
with now, 20/50 every three thousand:

coil springs up front, and even with the factory dual shocks, is unable to
off road, like a Real Jeep.

And I've been looking for one.
If you look it has it's curb weight listed on the certificate, which is
lighter than many TJs: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/smog07.jpg

Yep, and according to that Cert. you've only got 46k miles on it. You're
good to go another 30 yrs. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're
another 1000 lbs. over that figure. Finding an EB out in CA should be a
breeze, prob is, they're all made of solid gold out there and a bit pricey.

I'm required to use a catalytic converter, which cremates what may
exhaust.
