        Those Who have paid any attention to My posts (suppose not many) possibly may have noticed

that I deem "Fancy" Usually Not Necessary when it comes to Vanagon Stuff ~

        Back in MidApril 2011 @ 160640 on the Odo' I switched from KYBs to Monroe GasMagnums on 

My '90 2wdWesty VDubaru & have been Quite Pleased with that choice until Mid Aug2018 @ 219717

on the Odo' when I decided that it was time for new Fronts ~ The GasMagnums have disappeared so I

decided to give Gabriel Ultras a try & I Like them Much Better than the Monroes (But I Am comparing

Old Monroes to New Gab's) ~ Still have the Monroes on the Rear ~
