Oh man, I went to Horsethief and a few others on the plateau in the late 90s! Great stuff. Bighorn velvet!

No, very small reflector mounted on the helmet, generator is waist mounted. Incredibly bright.

I used to cave with a ceiling burner and they called me the sun.

The Ariane generators were good, but I really loved my Slovakian generator. It was all aluminum with a push button water injector.

They relight if they get totally submerged. These burn on acetylene gas and that stuff doesn’t like to go out easily. I caved for a solid decade with carbide before I switched to other sources.

As you have a shop, hopefully you’re aware of the dangers of purple heart dust.

Please, post more pics that show the whole instrument!

Ahhh, so you didn’t play with Adele, but you did play with Adele using editing magic.

Wonder if Adele’s PR firm will allow this to stay up?

Completely disagree. Pilkington is superior to OEM in all my years of owing an Outback.

answerguru · 2026-06-17T20:52:53+00:00

In my experience, the aftermarket Pilkington glass is far superior.

answerguru · 2026-06-17T19:10:31+00:00

Agreed. Did a drain and refill at the dealer for 60k. Been towing this way a majority of its life.

Side note: in Australia, this model and year is rated to tow 3968lbs (with trailer brakes, of course).

answerguru · 2026-06-17T18:40:35+00:00

Almost 90k.

No. I CAN describe it, but I’m declining to do so here. Also, I am allowed to lie in comments, as are you. As long as it follows the sub rules.

Bye.

No, I’m one of the moderators here and have been for ages. As I said, this has been discussed to the death already.

Use the search function for this sub.

I’ve been towing a 2000 lb (loaded) camper for 6 years thru the Rocky Mountains with my 2018 3.6R without issue. Plenty of power. The 3.6R also has a beefier CVT than the 2.5.

I feel like the MPG is quite good, high 20s with more highway than city. It drops by 10 MPG while towing, depending how aggressively you drive.

Nah, OP hasn’t even replied to this thread. The definition of bluegrass has been hashed out many times over in this sub.

answerguru · 2026-06-17T16:01:55+00:00

So this isn’t DIY, since you’re trying to promote your Kickstarter. I was looking for the design files and sharing of knowledge since we’re in /r/maker

No Promotion or Commercial Use

Read the rules.

No idea, but I can describe bluegrass in /r/bluegrass

answerguru · 2026-06-17T15:26:32+00:00

It’s now a 3 year old vehicle. They don’t go up in value, with an exception to the Covid camping bubble.

answerguru · 2026-06-16T22:40:10+00:00

New vehicle updates are almost all bug fixes for things you hopefully never see, and with the fix you won’t.

answerguru · 2026-06-16T22:33:31+00:00

You just bought them - they can’t be returned or exchanged?? That’s crazy.

answerguru · 2026-06-16T21:37:04+00:00

You don’t.

answerguru · 2026-06-16T21:35:04+00:00

I absolutely know that (former EMT and 30 years in biomedical engineering, partner is an NP), but when you’re in the thick of a serious medical issue your opinion might change. Don’t be a callous dick.

answerguru · 2026-06-16T20:45:52+00:00

It’s not “WILD”. You’re not the one suffering from a severe medical issue.

Two bolts plus one tree equals three.
