Just don’t destroy your differential by hitting a dry spot after spinning the tire on a slippery surface.

Hilarity continues: https://www.jeeps.net/threads/how-i-determined-that-i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing-part-2.2823/ He has a 1047-post thread dedicated to him here: https://www.jkowners.com/forum/chit-chat/200698-angry-red-birdie.html None of us will ever reach this level of fame.

Looks like there's a forum for this "Toaster Jeep". I wonder... Anyway, I once stumbled upon this while researching Rubicon: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php/51971-Strange-email-from-TrailBadger

Yes, seen them around often.

He has been wreaking havoc in various Jeep forums after leaving here so no wonder.

It drops significantly in town. That's about the highest I've seen when monitoring, either at 70 mph and/or towing a trailer.

1.6 Ecoboost van, 90% ready to pull the trigger

Nope. Nope. Wasn't the injector fault. Next stop: high pressure pump. Had the transmission flushed today at 84Mm. They said the fluid was pretty much baked. So if you do a lot of city driving and trailer towing, 50K miles is too long. -
Our local gas producer (Alexela) is spitting out CNG/LPG/LNG stations everywhere they can. I buy my gasoline from them as well as I get the real one without ethanol junk as long as they can supply it. It seems that competitor lobby has gotten a new law for the next year screwing up their gas based fuel business.

That's weird. Diesel is dominant in Europe.

Yeah, that's also confusing. Tourneo Connect is actually just the Wagon version of Transit Connect and has car mirrors. Van version is just Transit Connect like they call them all in the US. The difference is just the trim pieces, the wagon variant being a bit more car like and van more bare. All van variants have large mirrors from the factory. But as they only took wagons to the US and ripped out the seats and windows to convert them to vans after passing customs to circumvent chicken tax, all had small mirrors in the US regardless the trim level or variant. In 2010-2013 all Connects, van or wagon, came with the new tail lights like you now have. The separate naming is completely useless. I wish they dropped it. Toyota tried to change Corolla hatchbacks and wagons to Auris for a decade and finally bailed on it this year. Come on, it's the same car.

If it's the same engine, which I suspect, It's been great so far in our Berlingo, 8700 km on it now.

That’s a first ? Did you get the clusters without the sockets? The old and new are not compatible.
-
The lamps are Euro TC 2010-2013 tail lamps. Not Mondeo/Fusion.

Only made one change so far: reset battery counter.

Mine's this or very similar: https://www.amazon.com/Mestart-OBDII-OBD2-Bluetooth-Car/dp/B01HXGX8V6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=elm327+bluetooth+obd2&qid=1565598457&s=gateway&sprefix=elm327&sr=8-4 Android over Bluetooth. IOS requires Wifi AFAIK, BT won't work.

Both, gasoline and LPG. Also my dashboard readout correlates precisely with fill-up method. That's for gasoline. Not possible to do with LPG as there's no concrete shutoff moment.
-
Mine’s doing 22 mpg (mixed driving).

At what temp are your 6F35s running? Mine is 208F at highway speeds.

Marked point: 70 mm from inner plane to the spot welded edge, +10 mm to the outer shell in the middle. Same spot on the right (towards front of the vehicle) is 10 more mm.

There is a 5-seater cargo van available in Europe. Less trim and windows, a detachable divider behind the seats.

I don't think you need to remove the door panel. Not 100% sure tho.

Misplaced the link https://www.techradar.com/news/audio/portable-audio/10-best-portable-speakers-1069079

A high end portable Bluetooth speaker would be the best option. Doesn't drain your battery and the best ones sound really great. We have ## 3 and 6 of the bunch in the house and both are awesome. I have also one rugged Jawbone speaker to drag around in the garage but it sounds crap.

Still not done. Probably next week. Scheduling issues.
