I had a whistle after a brand new windshield install and of course all they do is take it off and put it back on again to fix that. I don't think you need a new windshield you just need it to be reinstalled which is, I think, at most Glass shops about an hour of work so not really a big deal. (...

Hauled some rough lumber to make some scaffolding to work on the Airstream I'll be towing one day. '22 Willys eco-diesel.

'22 Willys eco-diesel (29,728mi)

I towed a 23ft 1973 Safari with a 2022 eco-diesel Willys 1280km (800miles) over the Crowsnest Pass (4,455ft) in the Canadian Rockies. The trailer weighed in at 1790kg (3950lbs) at the time according to a roadside scale. I did struggle up the west side at one point but I might attribute that to...

I've helped multiple people out after snowstorms here. Last year, 3 vehicles in an 3 block distance. Only used recovery strap. I've used shackles to look around rear hitch mount successfully. And yes, I asked one guy to hook it up himself if he was interested in my help. Worked out fine - all on...

My '22 Willys came with a trifold and I like the security and protection from the elements of it especially when I am working out of it with video gear. the few times I've needed the full bed I simply pull it off and set it aside - 2 minutes to take it off and maybe 5 to put it back on. Easily...

if you change it on you phone, you see the options. Made mine a black truck that looks a little like my Glad.

A combination of ratchet strap and dead weight mallet and I ALMOST got it bent far enough - fingers got cold and I had to move on to other duties - but it was CLOSE!

I'm looking for info or advice on how I might 'pull' the driver rear exterior panel 'out' away from where it meets / aligns with the tailgate. The tailgate binds and is not able to open due to the rear panel being pushed into it after I was hit while parked. it's due in the body shop in 10 days...

Insurance quote from the body shop lists a new drivers rear panel and other repair. approx $5,500 CAD (4,000USD) problem is, it's not scheduled to get in the shop until Dec 16 ( another 10 days ahead) and in the meantime, I can't open my tailgate. I asked the body shop if they could bend the...

I will try to remember to respond here after seeing the quote / estimate to repair.

after being hit while parked, I needed to figure out a quick way to make my '22 Willys legal while waiting for insurance claim and autobody shop / parts. I wonder if I should post a 'How-To' in case anyone wants to add that rugged, custom look on theirs?

Very groovy Thunderspud.

Maybe they could make the CAD file available ;-) Could be neat printing out a 1/16th HO scale version or something

Pic from Manual shows high temp is one of many reasons A.S.S. will NOT engage to protect engine, battery, comfort etc

I suspect, just as Auto/S/S is disabled when cabin temp is not achieved or other factors, I suspect it would also avoid shut down when the temps are high as you mentioned.

I'm personally baffled by people's obsession with auto start stop. On occasion I've turned it off but it has NEVER bothered me. 5% fuel saving - why not.

only read the Glad section. I've got '23 eco diesel. Good info. oniy one question - why run vehicle when filling? Illegal anywhere I've ever been.

The pass: Bonanza Pass Summit Elev. 1535 m (5036 ft)

Towed my new (to me) 1973 Safari Airstream through some pretty steep mountain passes last week. ( Penticton BC to Saskatoon Saskatchewan through the Crowsnest Pass) I encountered a couple instances of limp mode due to "Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control A Module Performance DTC code...
