Does it do anything for MPG or more of seat of the pants feeling?

Thank you! We’ve been enjoying every minute of it. As for the starter, there isn’t a relay on the 1997 by default but in speaking to @malteserunner it’s a good idea to add one and fairly straightforward. I don’t want it to fail on my, that’s for sure! Maybe I’ll pick one up ad a spare. Eek...

Jealous as well. But the snow has finally cleared enough for me to get up into the high country now. Starting tomorrow.

Ordered the 3" OME lift, now just waiting on delivery...
YMMV.....quite literally. For me, I think I gained maybe 0.5mpg at the time. And the seat of the pant feeling was definitely there for me.
Shut eye is one of my favorite places in the States. I spend many afternoons ditching class and driving up there in my old fj40. Your pics brought back some good memories. The forks restaurant is also on the list.

Yep. I could have taken @musthave and his family to so many different destinations around here, but I chose Shuteye. It never disappoints!
The Forks is just tradition around here, as you know.
Next time you're out this way, feel free to get in touch.

where do I secure a new gen?? AND COMING YOUR WAY IN A COUPLE WEEK
Tried to reset my dash clock and can’t remember how to do it.
I think you just push the button in and hold it and it will move forward. Stop when you get to the desired number. You have the hour button and the minute button.

What a giant pain in the arse getting to those 4mm bolts holding the compressor into the bracket. I ended up sawzalling off the bolts running thru the wheel well as I could not get to the last bolt. The hardest part was refraining from prying the damn thing out with a crow bar.
Anyway, plenty of room on the DS side, and I fab'd up a temp bracket out of some sheet kicking around in the garage. Ultimately it should go into the rear quarter panel, but it's here for now.
On to more important things...
Washer bottle relocated - easy.
2nd battery tray installed - easy.
T-Max dual batt kit installed - easy, although I used none of the included wire or connectors.
Next step is to run power from the yellow-top aux to the QPM holding the pure sine inverter. Tomorrow.
Crossing the country starting Sunday, and need to charge the Onewheels as we go

Started a brake-job at all 4 corners, painting the hubs, and a brake fluid flush. Slow going with some stubborn bleeder valves. Rear brakes may have been a tad overdue....
New battery and ground cables. Also new fusible links and junction block.
It was time. The old ones were haggard.

Headed out on a 2 week trip from Colorado to Oregon and then some. Hopefully it all goes well!

Dang you've got a lot going on in that center console region! Does One-wheel not make a 12v charger? Coming over here from over a decade in the hashtag vanlife world, I'm really surprised at how many people run an inverter. A cardinal rule in that world when long terming in a vehicle is to keep everything 12volt. This is doubly important when your charging needs occur when the engine isn't running. From my research no inverter, even the expensive ones, are even close to 100% efficient.
