What is a PC?

Sounds crazy - but I get better mileage when using the booster, and I'm normally on Sport 7. I'm not the first person to report this, either. Also, people I know with PC report better mileage as well. Not anything great mind you, but not worse which is all that matters to me.

The poor gas mileage and lack of space is wearing on me and I'm tired of @604Bronco making fun of my stubby Bronco so I think I'm going to put it up for sale. I would be interested in trading for a lower trim 4 door auto so the wife can drive it.

Currently has 2300 miles and is getting the first oil change to full synthetic this weekend.

Well tell us how well it does off road, does it sling a lot of mud on the sides, how does it handle in soupy muck? Let’s see pictures

You made those steps? That's impressive. I like them.

The tires and wheels look great. I really like that spoke shape and the bronze goes great with blue.

Did you drive around much with the stock tires? I ask because I had a massive drop off in mileage with the bigger wheels and tires.

Taking it to Tillamook Forest next weekend, I expect a little soup so we'll find out.

I really just assembled them, was too lazy to bend up the tube myself.

I drive about 10-15 miles a day on average during the week. The big tires would hurt a lot more if I had a long commute.

Honestly I really just want a 2005 Forester, symmetrical all wheel drive is calling my name.

Nobody took me up on my trade offer so I guess I'm stuck with it.

Did the first oil change today. Not the easiest car I've done but not the worst. The dipstick is really hard to read, it took a bunch of tries to be satisfied that 6 quarts was good. I used a Motorcraft filter and Kirkland 5w-30 full synthetic, it meets all of Ford's standards.
