I put some Sylvania Nighthawks in my son's Legacy - big improvement.

Thanks for setting me straight on that, Ken. I was following the thread on the SVX board.

What gets me is if he's too broke to make good on his committments (especially ones that have been paid for in advance, for quite some time now), where does he come up with the cash to buy an SVX in AZ, drive down and trailer it back up at $2.80 a gallon for gas and time off of work, and away from his family and 5 kids....?

PM Ed Rachner. I believe he has a set that will fit yours. Cheaper than buying new.

Don't hold your breath on that one.

Are you just looking for the bulb, or the whole plastic assembly?

That would have been Soldotna to Fairbanks.

John's not on vacation. In fact, he pops in and looks at the board from time to time. I got an e-mail from him recently explaining why I haven't got my bumpers in ten (10) plus months. It's the first piece of truth, but I still don't have my bumpers.

There's no vin on the engine?

the vin # will have the year encoded in it.

When going uphill, more gas does not mean better traction. In effect, sloweris better. When you spin tires in snow, pressure and heat change snow to ice (in a hurry), Then you're screwed. Tis better to try to maintain traction and creep up a hill than floor it. If that doesn't work, get back and get a hell of a run at it and aim for the sides of the road where there may be more gravel/ softer surface underneath. Going downhill, feather the brakes. Do not lock them up. You lose control of your steering when you lock up the brakes and go into a skid. The anti-lock brakes will allow you to continue to steer, but won't stop you on a hill. Look ahead and plan where you'll end up at the bottom. It's better to go into a snowbank with the back end than the front end.

I use chains on my plow truck, even though I run studded snows on it. They are the best for traction, bar none.

12' of wet snow is about the max. I stopped buying Hak studded snows and switched to Coopers because the Haks spit the studs too easily. Unstudded, they hold great on ice. My wife recently bought some Hankook's for her new outback. Let's see how they do. (Once we get snow. Can you say global warming?)

Shifter binding associated with the lift?

So, are you coming up this way this weekend? Picking up the Brat window? Going to look at John's car? Hell, you might as well move here for as much as you've got going on here. We could always use another SKA member nearby.

What kind of pistol was it?Brian - I need guns. Moose don't fall over dead when you want them to. Neither do caribou and bears.

Only if it were during caribou season.

Interested in an adapter (EJ to EA) plate and a lift for the XT6. Maybe a skid plate for the Brat. Of course, all depends on costs. Got pics available of the skid plate?

Take the short drive across lower NY to visit Moosens.

Prices?

If you can get it here, I have a welder.

I've got my old one from my 83 Brat. Don't know if it's the same, but you're welcomed to it if it'll work.
