And just like that, I posted my "woes" on the local Fox Body group, and two guys offered me a set of lowering springs. LOL. I'm going to go get some Eibach's for it tomorrow.

Gotta run to the Ford dealer he works at to get 'em.

I'm 64# currently. No smoke or haze. Proved I'm not a very good judge the way this smoke moves or dissipates. Kind of went in different directions...to the east for the most part.

I put the ATV (and myself) to work again today and figured it deserved a bath. I love my foam cannon!

Have the same trailer. Wait , maybe not, does it swivel ? Different wheels, they put smaller wheels on the model I have...I think they're too skinny lol.

Tuff little trailers though.





Don't have a better pick. Well, it's Ohio Steel anyway.

Driveway is looking superb as well.

It does, indeed, Brew. I bought it used a few years back and am quite pleased with it. I had a metal Craftsman dump-style yard cart for l long time I moved it out here and used it with the Cub lawn tractor until I got the Grizzly, t GT e ended up buying an 8" drop hitch for it so it would set level. That trailer had a lot less ground clearance and rattled like crazy. This one is purpose-built for use out here. My only regret in selling the Craftsman is that this one's too wide to pull up the sidewalk to unload firewood right at the porch.

Hey @OhioLariat I have a question for you. Any idea why Ford tilted the passenger side tie rod "perch" on the 94/95's? I thought mine was messed up, but when I look at pics, and review posts, it seems like it's normal.

I found a few "is my spindle bent" posts over the interwebs. And the point is made in a few of those posts that the spindles (being cast) would break, not bend. That is also my experience with cast. It'll just snap, not bend.
