I enjoyed camping in the desert very much, long time ago.

On the top of one of the carpathian mountains.

My build sheet says 19 gallon fuel tank and I usually have to fill arround 16,5. This is shortly before the fuel warning lights up.

Non US would be year-month-day, so I think year-day-month is somehow American ...

Works fine, I am more than satisfied. Similar to the ACC, they did a good job.

So, at least i know whom to ask if I need parts for my XJ ...

In deed. When I (regretfully) sold her I thought, give it a try, the Gladiator is not as wide as the Corvette and just a little bit longer. And it figures out that it fits ...

Seems that you have plenty of space, I have not even 1 inch spare.

Unqualified statements? @GladiatorPilot23 has clearly brought it to the point in post #38. Period. 🍻

I didn't care too much about the details of the oil component resp. composition for our engines and just took the recommended oil which I found in the oil thread and is available to me. That was Ravenol VST. Now I checked and it figured out that it has SAPS of 1,1. My suggestion would be to...

Since I am a kind person, I will convert this for you. ;) 9,8 L/100km is equivalent to 24 mpg. (and 5683,6 km is 3531,6 miles)

I don't understand how they could discontinue this great engine instead of developing it further and eliminate the small issues it had. Just returned from a round trip to Romania, no issues and great MPG. Especially for towing a tent trailer and including approx. 400 km off road.

Somewhere in the Carpathians in Romania.

That's what I am doing and additionally switch off the ESS after every start. Batteries are like new (I hope ...). But if I have to replace the aux, I most likely delete it.

1 1/2 years, then replaced with a cheap takeoff set from a Wrangler Rubicon.

To continue this: Any experience with Russians? ;)

Seems that battery rip-off to unsuspecting customers is a common dealer behaviour in most parts of the world. The wife of a friend recently payed arround 1000 $ for a battery replacement on a shitty Renault.

With my Corvette C5 Z06 came an instruction video where they stated to add a quart of oil when taking the car to the race track.

I planned to retire in about 2 years, seems that I should ditch this plan and work another few years to save some money ...

I think it's not too bad. OK, can compare it only with the 6 speed manual of my first TJ.
