I usually shift around 3500+ in 1-2 cause it shifts a bit smoother. I will cruise at 70 in 5th. 6th is for 70+. Getting 24-25mpg pretty consistently on trips and 22 mpg on the dash average. Stock tires, alu cab topper, and a heavy bike rack.
Seems like this engine enjoys higher rpms than I was...
Looks good! I am also from MN with a silver 24 OR and am considering the Alu-cab and similar wheels. We may run into each other at a local MTB trailhead, especially if you go to Localized!
