[BaadAssGremlins] Re: What Traction Bars are YOU using??

["hemmigremmie" <hemmigremmie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure on your new setup, but on my 73 Gremlin when it was stock, 
I bought a set of Universal Chrome 40 dollar traction bars for mine 
and it made a huge difference!
Only thing I had to do was cut a small lip of the shock mount to 
clear em. Rod
