Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

Well, the new 235/85r16 Goodyear Duratrac load range E tires work great, especially when aired properly for pavement or dirt.

I installed a small onboard air system and replaced the *huge* OEM muffler with a smaller Flowmaster so I could put the 2gal air tank under the car with a lot of clearance. I can take the tires from ~25 PSI to 38psi in about 5 minutes from hose plug-in to un-plug.

Did a full tune-up, clearly the #6 plug was original. Parts are on the way for the suspension mods, not going too crazy, just a 1"-2" lift, steering stabilizer, Bilstein shocks, and uprated tie rod adjusters.

This really is a great car for kids to adventure in, with the high rear seats.
