TF HD track bars, rotoflex and a new throttle cable have been ordered. A few of the tie rod ends were questionable so.. HD

Gotta get the panhard and ball joints to wrap up the front end refresh next month.

Rolled passed 140k a week or so ago -- about 17k on the the HG job and things are good. I've been noticing that running temps are higher from last summer but i think i'm due for a coolant flush so i'm guessing that's probably whats going on with that.

New parts get here on Monday, so yay!

Figured out that i've been getting roughly 17.5 mpg which is crazy but the math checks out 362 miles on a tank of Shell, refueled with 20.7 gallons, do the math. So win..

is that the odo mileage or GPS mileage? not that it's gonna change that much but still that seems pretty high for a disco with oversized tires. I never came near that when I was running 265/75/16s
