@Dumpolina was cruising back from Farmington on Sunday and saw a strangely familiar Dodge with a Yota attached heading up 550...
Bummer about the Jeep dudes though. Figure they’d at least stop.:mad:
@Dumpolina Count me in as a solid maybe. Working tonight (yaaay) so if I get outta here at a reasonable-ish time, I’m in. I can compensate with coffee in the morning. The Cruiser needs a good workout.
It hangs out in the 20-21 MPG range no matter how I drive it- city, highway, off road, doesn't matter. It beats the wife's '16 4Runner by about 2 MPG too and it makes a better noise.

So, I'll preface with: I have no idea what I'm doing. Does a coolant flush necessitate a thermostat change? If so, why? I'm planning on doing one next weekend, unless I need more parts. It seems fairly straightforward...
