The Sleepy Cruiser (Sparkly Car)

[sleepycruiser]

Yeah, not sure about that. 25 gallon, 4.5 liter, correct? I haven't driven it yet with it hooked up so I still need to figure some of it out.

It will learn as you drive.

Ive found that I gave up tracking gas mileage, and doing the fuel fillups, and muted all of the alarms.

Mine is mainly used for temp,voltage,distance to empty, instant mpg..that last one will make you drive like you have an egg between you and the pedal

I filled up today and reset the fuel tank on the Ultragauge and it seems to be ok on the DTE now.

We went up to Rich Mtn today. 6 mile drive in on a well maintained gravel road in Pisgah...close to Hot Springs.

I monitored the Ultragauge and hottest the coolant got was 194 degrees....mostly stays around 185.

There is an old fire tower that is mostly safe looking......First time I have seen my roof....I will figure that out later. Maybe yellow Monstaliner?

 

[sleepycruiser]

Oh....and also got in a few of these. They look like pretty good decals. I think I will use the Orange one on the LC and the others not sure....maybe one on the cooler.

Looks like it's just clear coat coming off the roof I'm going to be doing mine once the weather gets warmer it's not hard.

Maybe a Sunday Asheville project.

Sounds like a plan

This is the only work I did this weekend....putting the TEQ decal on. Well, that and I sprayed all the crap off that they spray on the roads.

 

[JToobe]

Where is the decal from?

I got the 5". Buy 2, get the 3rd for free. You can choose 3 different colors as well.

I know that a lot of people don't like the TRD decals, but I am not a lot of people. Plus I heard that these would boost my MPG, HP, and chicks would throw bikinis at me wherever I go.

Thanks,@Marine7

I also picked up some Yakima bars and mounts via CL. I don't anticipate needing a flat rack and don't really want to spend the coin.

I haven't checked to see if I can get out of the garage with them on there yet, but I will just drive through it I guess....ask @Greenbean

 

[Greenbean]

Lol...

Time to sell the house and fund the new home/garage space!

Remind me next time to tell about my lone Rich Mt fire tower adventure where I took a wrong turn and ended up having to stay my course on an ATV trial down the back of the mountain in the rain and ended up coming out in a mans back farm field. Dude it was nuts!

It's business time. My first time to do a coolant flush. Distilled water on hand. These are all from the first drain.

Ordered all of the stuff I need for a Blue Sea fuse box install. Project for next week while the wife is out of town.

Put on your business socks and get pictures of the install! This is something else I need to do.

Not many Tide fans up this way! I actually graduated from UAB. I know a ton of people that went to UA though. I am sure we know some of the same people.

Small World. My wife went to med school at UAB. People up here definitely don't understand Saturdays in the South.
