Re: MUCH ADO ABOUT A LOT.

I am glad you were spared Dick. We did not fair as well in MD. We were without power for 33 hours (we have only lost power 3-4 times in the last 24 years and the longest was 4 hours). We took our freezer contents 20 miles away to a friend with power. Of cousre the power was restored at our house as ...

Re: Anybody gone over to LED taillights?

Roger, No I have not changed over - but its not a bad idea. The stop and turn signal lens is very small and hard to see at times. I did not have back up lights (Savoy) so I took out the Clear back up lens and ground down a red lens to put in its place. Now I have three reds lights that act as parkin...

I had springs made for my car at a local spring shop so I can't answer about the perches being in the same...
