Re: need wrangler help !!
Bill, that was positively the most thorough, most detailed, most
well-documented ....well, most perfect tech description I've ever seen.
Thanks, but this is beyond my feeble efforts. Think I'll tell the friend to
do a rear end swap. She asked if I would go with her on a Jamboree. I
said, if you can find one thats on perfectly level ground, and there are no
hills on the way there, then maybe. ha ha,
