I polished my side windows with Ceriglass. Not perfect, but 1,000X better than before.

I also cleaned the interior and gave it a fresh coat of wax.

You don't really appreciate really clean windows until you really clean your windows....really

quick camping trip over the weekend with the fam and pup.

So far so good. They are a bit loud but every mud tire I’ve had has been when they get a little worn in. I found these barely used with the wheels locally for $1000 so I couldn’t pass them up. I do think I’d buy them again.

Thanks! They are high on my list 1200ish brand new Anit bad.

I found a very impressive wheel cleaner to tide me over until my OG Terra Grapplers are used up and I get my wheels restored. https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-CLD_997_16-Diablo-Cleaner/dp/B003TTRORQ

The "before" photo had already been cleaned and polished using 5-6 different methods that didn't make much progress after several hours of effort. I then had a quantum leap towards tolerable with the Chemical Guys wheel gel and a soft 3m scrub pad after a single 30 minute pass. I expect to get a few more spots out, but I'm approaching diminishing returns.

Both photos are the same wheel.

Drove this ‘93 from Melbourne, FL to NE TN. 10 hours and about 700 miles. She drove very well and averaged a whopping 12.0 mpg on the hwy. I maintained 70-80mph and passed a Sonora Gold 100 (absolute beauty) in the fast lane going slow and passed a 2016+ (Blue? Gorgeous) towing a swwwwwwweeeeeet Airstream.

Can’t beat these manual cloth seats!

Did the pup get to sample some good cooking’? Maybe a “mistakenly” dropped sample?

Oh yeah. He is called the "Camp Roomba" ....LOL

Finally got the motor installed after three years in my shop. Got to do some test drivinmonument. And then I was lucky enough to find a severe oil leak.
Next weekend is now scheduled.
Happy times

Are things in Western NC starting to come back together? Man, those poor folks took a beating over the past year.

I didn't see any overt signs of damage or debris. So I think it's coming back somewhat.

You must’ve missed it. It is still a disaster area in many places. Many condemned homes/displaced families. I just drove through the SE region from FL, to TN thru SC/NC and saw a lot coming back but still so much destruction.

I wish I could find something like that for my rhd rig. These alcantara seats are tired

 

[Dusten]

I've just been driving mine. My daughter had knee surgery and is driving my golf r, as it's easier to get in and out of.

 

[Overlanderson]

has anyone had the issue with the low fuel light stuck on? what was the fix?

happened to me when I replaced my pump. I pulled the pump back out and reset it. I think the float arm was getting hung up.

It’s slowly coming together but there is still a long road to recovery and some parts will just never be the same. There are still missing railroad grades, roads, homes etc. incredibly sad to see.
We are sending 100 windows up to World Relief US via operation blessing to help with some of the rebuild efforts underway. Materials and labor are still in need.

Made a quick trip to Uwharrie. The old LC did great. Loving the new 35s. Wish I had some better action shots but I was riding solo.

Looking good. Hate you didn’t run in to us down there but it’s hard to beat a weekday on the trails there to avoid the crowds. Check out ONSC clubhouse if you haven’t already.

Agree with above. Likely the float getting hung up on the baffle around the fuel pump. No need to drop tank. Can access from inside under the 2nd row seats through the floor hatch. Might just take a jiggle or can slightly bend arm away.

Yup. Not a hard job. Once the seats are out its about a 15 minute job.
