I like the entire package!

But, I like the El Mirage sticker best.
Wife and I have spent many happy times out there.

It was off an '84 at the junk yard. Had to get 3" clamps for the axle tubes and a CPP bushing kit. Made my own brackets for the end links mounted to the out side of the frame. It reduces the body roll at on & off ramps. I also run a CPP front sway bar on the straight axle and radials on 7" wheels. Handles good for an old timer. I'm 64 and the wife is 46, she says the same about me.

xaircav, thanks for the info. I would like to add one to mine, never have to much control on these old rides. I'm 68 and still push it once in awhile...Jim
