Getting the Wheeling Fever

Very true. I've found that unless you've got some serious weight on the frame, it rides like a lumber truck.

Wheeler
With a load it rides nice. But even my girlfriend asked if my shocks were bad after I put them on.


America's first fourwheel drive was built in Mankato, MN by Ernest Rosenburger in 1908 who founded Four-Traction Auto Co. on Hickory Street. The company though successful closed in 1913.
