170 miles today. Filled with fuel before I left and topped off when I got home.
13.8 mpg - ran about 75 miles of gravel including some 2 track that was 1st and 2ng gear slow speeds. Ran 60-65 on the big highway, 50-55 on two lane.
Not complaining about the mileage. It has all the power, and it’s in base mode as I haven’t fixed the MAF issue yet.
Positive notes from today- the whole day was actually a win.
40 ran absolutely flawless.
15+ people talked to me about it including an on duty park ranger who wanted to take a picture.
Found some new camp spots. Some places to avoid.
Sat in the river and had a beer or 3
It’s awesome having an arm rest from the Tuffy
2LO is sweet
Side notes -
The seats are ok, my back isn’t pissed but it’s not perfect either. I need to adjust driver seat back 1” and 1/2” up on front legs. I think that will help.
Clutch slave needs adjusted a little, throughout touches the clutch occasionally while idling.
The steering with bump steep in a dip or hill crest needs addressed.
The lunchbox locker sucks with a v8, I didn’t hate it with the original engine but it’s coming out soon. Too annoying, but it did save me from having to lock in the hubs once today.
My fuel sender isn’t working. I have a feeling it’s stuck inside the tank. “Easy fix”
Few pictures from the day.
