This. I'm a westerner and moved to the southeast for a 110% increase in pay. It lasted about 4 years before I couldn't take the lack of public lands any longer. I wouldn't do it again for a 500% increase in pay. Life is too short. But sounds like you have family there and that is something...

I had my first experience in the wind with my CVT Rainier in Fruita last weekend. It was not pleasant. Tent held up fine, but it was quite noisy. My Westy is much quieter in high winds. Most of the noise seemed to be the rainfly. May start thinking about ways to better tension the fly.

I especially like the wood hot tub on the roof!

Great idea Benc! I've been thinking of something similar for my 80. I'm wondering if more of a concave shape would direct the flow closer to the top of the stuff on the roof? Also, I've been digging around to find some durable stretchy fabric to make a cover to stretch from the back of the...

When you get tired of having that in your garage please let me know!

Sweet! Go for it. I've been thinking of picking up a Brat that has been sitting in an alley near me. I had an 82 GL wagon with a low range. I took that on some interesting trails.

What kind of mileage do you get on road trips? City/Road mix?

I would take a look at the Cummins-powered 80 in the for sale section. I'm showing an uncharacteristic amount of restraint at the moment.

Hi - interested in one if still available.

Success! OK - my 255/85/16 ST/Maxx came in today. These replaced a set of Goodyear MTRs in 305/70/16. First impression: quiet and track well. I've hated how loud the MTRs were on the highway ("the sound of off-road confidence, I know). The Coopers are quiet. I drove 10 miles at 60mph with the...

Nice...she's just a baby at 131k!

Nice Syncro. I have three pretty neat vehicles. My Syncro is the only one I have never considered selling.

Go to Murdochs (or a farm and ranch supply store in your neck of the woods) and pick up some Dickies. Like Carhartt brand but much less expensive. Super-durable denims for pants. Costco has good prices on baselayer stuff like wool and synthetic longies. While I can't stand synthetic stuff, it...

I have an M12000 in my 80. M8000 would likely work fine 95% of the time.

Damn! Where were you 3 months ago? I looked for one of these for a year before I bought a CVT. The CVT is nice, but that open roof looks fantastic! GLWS.

Johnston-congrats on the new Subie! Looks great. I'm Subie-less at the moment but I'm sure I'll have another. What is the center diff-lock you speak of? I bet you can maintain 25mpg unless you're mostly city.

Most excellent. You're living.

I have a Scan Gage 2 that I move between my FZJ80 and Subaru-powered Syncro. Super-easy to move. To get some of the gage features to work (like MPH and MPG) you have to take a few minutes to make some adjustments. Otherwise, all code reading features work seamlessly.

Seems like the promotions I've seen lately excluded the ST/Maxx. I got $1400 out the door for five here in Chaffee county. Online would have been about $100 cheaper, but I value the things my city, county and state governments provide.

ordered 5 today! 7-10 days out.
