Checking in from interstate 80 just across the Iowa line. Man, was eastern CO and Nebraska exciting!
With a set of sliders splayed across the back of the truck where I would otherwise sleep, I had to stay at Motel 6 last night. Well they were nice enough to leave the light on for me, I could've done without the handful of fleas that jumped up on my legs this morning. Definitely find a place to set up the tent tonight! While the truck drives great with the new lift and alignment, and looks the biz with the bumper hanging off the back, the days of 17 mile per gallon seem to be over. With the cruise control set between 75 and 78 mile-per-hour, the last two tanks of been right at 14.8 mpg. Here's the best part of Iowa!
Next stop is in four hours or so at Walcott CB, right off interstate 80, to grab an antenna and coax cable so that I can move the CB set up over from the 4runner when I get home. For those of you who may be wondering, it is indeed pure aural bliss listening to the iPod play through a tape deck connection played through 14-year-old OEM speakers!
A few quick questions for those who might know:
Is there nighttime illumination behind the set of controls where the diff lock is to the left of the steering wheel? I may have a few burnt out bulbs in that area.
There is a blank cover between the sunroof controls and the rearview mirror. In my forerunner this area is a sunglass holder. Do they sell a piece that goes in here to make any use of this space ?
Why would I not want the center diff to be locked while in 4 lo?
