re organized the tools in the rear. cleaned the interior.
Oh yeah... locked the from passenger axle together (it has the old command trac vaccum actuator, it was still working but doing an experiment) i want to see if this garage mod has any ill effects to the drive line. so far no vibrations or notice handleing issues and 4x4 is a sure thing every time i pull up on the skinny handle. had issues before with the lines poppin off and having to rehook them, so... i eliminated them. there's a how to thread on here but i can't find it now. easy 20 minute free fix with step by step instructions.

Yesterday
Finally found a decent replacement for the trac bar bolt... Actually I bought abot 7 replacements, all varying lengths and sizes
Picked up 5 center caps and 20 lug nuts, and 5 locking lug nuts.... all for free.
Today
Installed my center caps on the front, test fitted a 31 inch full size spare in the stock position (no fit), and in the process of an oil change.

Put 13.7 gal in, 207/13.7=15.1mpg just driving to work and back. 35mph to 55mph, then some more 35, 40 and 30mph sections, about 6 stop lights. I guess thats not too bad.
Drove it 145mi, used just under 1/2 tank.
New Echlin TPS helped alot, I got my 25mph downshift back and its idling a little better. Still missing, but I think new injectors will fix that problem.
Can hear a pretty good whistling vacuum leak from 35 to 45, after lockup it is gone. Its my no1 injector oring.

The VHT is amazing stuff (I can turn a bolt with a socket 20 minutes later and no paint will come off), but holy god it's expensive
