The way I see it with a 3 almost 4 month now is that the roads are so bad here that come this summer when she's 8-11 months old she'll be all ready to go on mild trips haha she sleeps through all the ****ty concrete sectioned highways (terrible idea and even worse as time goes on) so what's some slow mild to medium 10 mile trails! haha. After a few years of less that normal wheeling due to house renovations (thanks to covid in a positive way) and my wife being pregnant last summer this summer is full go on our end to get back out there. White disco is really getting dialed as the perfect camping or overland rig just need to install the dog guard and build some sort of sliding platform in the trunk, move the fridge to the 40% portion of the back seat and call it done!

a little off topic but what kind of fog lights are on that. I have the exact same bumper but can’t find flush mounts that fit it

I said September '20, it was actually September '21.

No doubt! We took her out for some mild wheeling the first time at 14 months. Wasn't sure how she'd take it, but she actually loved it.

Love the sliding platform idea. I had a storage box I built for my black disco years ago, took up the entire rear with the back seats removed. Was great for camping. Now the Disco is more of the hard core wheeler, and the (soon to be) SAS Tahoe is the travel vehicle/overland wheeler. Just a bit more roomy than the Disco.

changed out the spark plugs on my daily driver '04. what a pain in the *** working around all the SAI plumbing. turned a half hour job into an hour plus.

plugs 7 and 8 were by far the most difficult to remove and replace.

What plugs did you install? And, what plugs did you remove and why?

plugs removed were the Champion RN9PYP. replaced them with NGK Iridium IX BKR6EIX-11 3764.

i recently had the MAF, 2 front O2 sensors and all the plugs replaced. since then the fuel mileage has steadily declined. as a process of elimination i am changing out the replaced parts to see if i can regain some fuel efficiency. after my initial test drive yesterday, i did notice that the acceleration was smoother and steadier with the new plugs.

Just went for a nice quiet drive

Just up West Harrison Lake BC, poking around some side roads. Some snow squalls, rain and sun a solid BC spring day. A quiet day, broke my hood latch again, just the plastic handle on the inside easy fix once I got home.

This is a nice piece of beach at 15km, but likely heavily used in good weather.
