there's plenty of space behind the rear seat on even the hybrid so "one thing" is moot.

Just did the front diff at 2100 miles, didnt see any chips on the magnetic drain plug but a thick grease like sludge and silvery metallic streaks mixed in the oil. Overall not too bad, probably could of waited a bit longer. Good to know that its good to go tho to at least 20k miles.
Anyone have a guestimate on the actual tranny temp when the OEM gauge shows that the temp is past center/normal?
Most of what I've gathered agrees that around 200 degrees the fluid is being affected
175–200°F (79–93°C)ElevatedCommon during towing or hillsATF begins mild oxidationMonitor...
I have a camper shell so when Im in the bed I ususally have to crawl on my knees. Id love a totally smooth/flat bed mat with a small amount of cushion.
If I was gonna go your route, Id do a gear swap to some 4.3's. You'd get alot of your motor and mileage back.
Lots of Colo bound peeps hit the dream stream, If your around there try Spinney lake. That ranks as one of the best times I've had with a big ol dryfly.
Nice rig, more mpg is gonna be tough with that big tent on top. My 4th gen is very sensitive to any weight I add, so if MPG is your goal Id think hard about bolting on anymore weight.
Talk to Camtuning here on the forum, he does tuning and testing, he has real data that might answer questions.
Rear diff oil change at 2000 miles, handful of decent sized shards on the drain plug, did a clean catch of the oil and there was grit suspended in the oil but no shards in the catch pan.
My wife had mud flaps on her truck, she let me borrow one weekend to go hunting. First rock I went over the flap came down so hard on a rock I thought for sure I had body damage. Needless to say first thing I did was take them off when I got home.
Did you have to pay for tow and reset?
I wonder if putting trickle charge on the jump posts on top of the engine will keep juice in the system when you swap out a dead battery?
Yep, you have lots of stuff, nice rig. I guess I was wondering more if it slows you down or robbing your HP.
In my 4th gen when It's loaded up it near as strong on the Freeway. Your gas mileage isn't far off mine.
Previous Gen I had, Installed roof rack and lights and the already anemic 4.0 struggled on the freeway.
How is the 4th gen holding up?
Notice a hit on the gas mileage?
