I've been looking on this forum for a while now, you guys have really helped me diagnose some problems(thanks!) not to mention I love to look at all your amazing soobies, hopefully mine will be there soon, it's on it's way! Oh yeah and I have an 85 gl wagon dual range. It wheels way better than I thought it would stock and I can't wait to start upgrading.
