Hey thanks guys for the big welcome!

Today I discovered something amazing. As I am a little taller than average (about 6 foot), I found the steering wheel was getting in the way of the top of the speedo, making it hard to maintain my speed. I thought, "man I wish they accomodated us taller fellahs and made it a bit higher". Then tonight, I jumped in the Jeep and saw the little stick on the steering column, and thought, "what the heck does that control, rear wiper or something?". Low and behold, I moved it and the steering wheel fell lower, and then it dawned on me! No more blocked speedo problem!

LOL.

Thanks guys.


I hope to take it out soon to see some "easy" dirt to start off, but before I do, I have a question.... is it imperitive that you do any sort of cleaning after taking it off road? (I remember my mate taking all the wheels off his Suzuki, and hosing down when, we went wheeling in that).


Chow,
4WDMan
