That is the most common square left in my locale.The jeep jacked.
Even the v8. But there is a trick learned locally, as no v8 is aloud to be manly oem...the bigger tires and a simple air intake, increases fuel mileage, demands torquing, less throttle and rpms, and 4 lo actually has a purpose. while scaring little people...
been that way for a LONG TIME.
I like that about this place, it is one of the many "backwards" harsh locales that reveal the unlikely truth in a poor environment to boot.

That is the most bizarre traits I have ever heard. (Speaking of backwards...)
this bubbly round bus describing the owner or what...
Aircooled and 30 years old in 71 would have a bit of unreliable to think about. I bet the same engine running today, ya know, at 60 years old gets the same attention.
sOOOOOO unreliable......
