    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    Converting your CUCV into a High MPG power diesel! (and solving emissions)

    Hmm I see some things to clean up. There were several break returns in the html between the banners. I've removed that now so they all tuck nicely together now.

    Can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing? The eastern and colony tire ads will remain even as paid membership, they're site sponsors. The ads that are removed are the googleads banners.

    I think it's funny there's been (empty) packs of cigarettes in every MV I've owned. Finally got a full pack... too bad the mice got to them.
