Stopped in Veil for the night.

Spent about 6hr hiking Arches NP. Couple spend another day easy.

Accidentally left the park via 40 miles of washboard dirt. Loose link in the right font was clunking. Gave it some torque but I think there’s some wear done from long term looseness. Might have spare parts in back for it.

Drives great. Not using any oil. Washboard road fixed cruise and fog lights so I know that was funk in switches.

Can’t wait to make this thing good. It’s already ok even as a basketcase.

Effighham IL. 711 miles to go.

It isn’t using any oil. Consistently sets post-catalytic o2 codes rich on one bank lean on the other, wires swapped on one

Air suspension height sensors still present and functional, values pass sanity check (+10mm in front, -85mm rear)

The RF suspension link I tightened yesterday is clunking again. Pretty sure I have a spare knuckle and spare link in back, but not a spare bolt if I overtorque and break it.  Loose pinch bolt. I expect the knuckle is worn from being loose.

making time!  maybe its just plugged up cats making codes and sucking power away!

Could be. Low power could also be that I’m used to peak power nearly off idle and this burns gasoline. It doesn’t have full party mode at the moment but it at least gets out on the dance floor beyond ~3300.

What mpg are you getting

[mr.mindless]

Very low 20s doing low 70s.
I need to correct for tire size, will report later. Car computer thinks I’m getting 24.5 and odometer is roughly 10% off.

Home safe.

Only LEO interaction was first thing this morning with a townie making sure I wasn’t an out of town OD.

Only mechanical was that damn loose suspension link banging on bumps. I’ll have to post a picture, it’s a weird design.

Ignoring it as-landed until next week. There’s a short 571 punch list before departure after work hours tomorrow for hallowheeling.

wasn’t an out of town OD.

Utah plate on a car full of shit in a gravel lot in effingham Indiana. Hat over face under jacket and not moving. He thought I might be dead.

[cracker]

oh.. OD=Over Dose.. did not think of that because of your usual obscure abbreviations..

[etk300ex]

lol

[mr.mindless]

Used tested-good air shocks and struts arrive tomorrow.

See how quick and fun it’ll be to swap that stuff around.
