Got back from Moab, so I reinstalled my light-bar, roof basket, spare tire, and installed my "new to me" fog lamps to replace my old, not-able-to-function ones.

It was amazing how much better gas milage I got without the lightbar and basket (I actually hit 27.7 MPG on the highway), but I was also amazed with how bland the car looks without them. Now it looks badass again. :biggrin:

Didn't like looking at the holes in the grille where the "Sport" belonged.
So I made my own badge.

Blue Fox, You always have great posts, and killer vids. I like how you go about tackling a new trail, and testing the limits of our foresters!

^^ How well did it work? I've been thinking about trying one of those, but was leery that it would actually make a worth-while difference.
Yet to test it in the dark but they are a lot brighter in the daylight (I had a simpler led set up before).

Yesterday...made it carry this:


It was sitting with the rear wheels about 1" up into the fenders.

(2) huge bags of Vermiculite (more volume than weight)
(12) 1.5cu ft bags compost
(4) 2cu ft bales peat moss

Almost Installed Gentex Mirror:

Almost installed Gentex Mirror/Compass that I bought on Ebay. Mirror came with the wires clipped at the windshield (no plug at end of harness):mob:
Had to McGiver wires to connect to plug under overhead light console. Then I found out the windshield mount doesn't fit my car. Going to local glass store tomorrow hoping they can remove existing windshield button and install one that fits.

Hosed bird droppings of my poor Forester. The local birds at my townhouse complex have taken to perching on everyone's mirrors and making a mess down the side of people's doors.

It's weird, because it didn't happen last year at all. Stupid birds...:icon_rolleyes:
