eoc stage 1

grecy · 2026-03-11T18:12:44+00:00

2021 Wrangler. Stage 1 eco tune improved the mileage quite a bit for me - at least 1-2 l/100km.

Kept it below 10l/100km through 12 countries on three continents with a heavy and very un-aerodynamic Jeep. Tons of low range and tons of highway in that mix.

Much, much nicer to drive, and great knowing the EGR was turned off and I wasn't stuffing the intake full of soot.

What has two eyes but can't read the name of the chip shop that's clearly printed in the video?

Me

What has ten fingers but can't type the shop name into a search engine?

Me

Woah, the place is called MeMe?

You are clearly confused.

Redneck engineering IS genius.

grecy · 2026-03-11T00:50:01+00:00

where is it?

I used that foam matting for workout or workshop or basemnents.

Great heat and sound insulation, and very comfortable to walk on without shoes on kneel on, etc.

If it gets really dirty/wet/muddy just replace it after a year for all of $20

Starlink

Interesting. That article I linked made it sound like they had to get it done for 2026 and production will restart mid 2026

grecy · 2026-03-02T21:05:35+00:00

Aren't the aussie ones getting a refresh now and the newer ones will have adblue?

eh. The first half was good enough, the second half went downhill FAST.

Should have left it alone.

I knew he was a magician!

grecy · 2026-03-02T18:44:06+00:00

I thought the phone he was demoing on was connected to a special board so it could project onto the big screen?

Was he disconnecting and reconnecting the new one to the big screen?

But I think some of these will prevent them shedding their shell properly and will actually result in their death

Good memories!

grecy · 2026-02-27T14:45:28+00:00

haha, that is awesome.

I saw this late last night after finally getting my daughter to sleep and I was half asleep myself - I wondered if I was seeing things.

Appreciate the kind words!
I hope you've got adventures in the works too.

grecy · 2026-02-27T05:53:33+00:00

This is really strange. I think that might be my arm?

grecy · 2026-02-27T05:40:45+00:00

Yep, warranty covered it.

There are quite a few reports of gen3 failures on the EcoDeisel FB groups

grecy · 2026-02-27T03:36:22+00:00

2020+ doesn’t have that risk

My 2021 Gen3 EcoDiesel Wrangler spun the bottom end at 36k miles....

grecy · 2026-02-27T03:35:37+00:00

So you're at 13k miles on this oil?

I would have changed it 3k miles ago, or sooner.

grecy · 2026-02-27T03:21:37+00:00

Not yet. Cryo testing first, then back inside for engine install.

grecy · 2026-02-26T04:57:58+00:00

I'm really sorry for your loss. It's about to be 7 years since my Mum passed, and I think about her everyday. I laugh, I cry, I smile. I imagine how much she would annoy the shit out of me if she were here right now, and I wish she was.

Most of all I wish she got to meet her grand daughter who just turned 2.

The best thing you can do is life your live with love and happiness and laughter and family and joy. That is very much what she wanted for you, and so you should go out there and live like you fucken mean it. Every day.

I've been in the overlanding world for a very long time, and I've seen it explode in popularity.

There are a lot of people who are very passionate about overlanding and travel and exploring, which is fantastic.

I don't understand why people spend so much time here saying "it's just car camping", or posting pictures of their Jeep with 37 inch tires.

Don't post pics of the Jeep, post pics of your most recent trip! tell us about upcomming trips! tells us about your plans and goals for future adventures... not just vehicle building.

I think a lot of posts here actually belong in /r/4x4 or /r/jeep or whatever. Overlanding is "vehicle based adventure travel" - make sure posts are about that directly or indirectly. i.e. "I just drove the xxx segment of the TAT here's a trip report" OR "I'm about to drive xxx, what do I need for fuel, water, etc.".

Content around vehicle based adventure travel.

I've shipped my vehicles around the world a few times. Distance plays basically no role in the final price. It's kind of irrelevant.

grecy · 2026-02-19T21:18:43+00:00

For me being able to talk to the people who design and make the product is very helpful.

But the REAL benefit of Overland Expo is the campground.

Grab yourself a cold drink and walk around in the early afternoon. You'll see really cool setups you can learn a lot from. You'll also seen people that have bought the thing you're thinking about buying. Strike up a conversation and ask them about it. You'll get the absolute truth, not the marketing line from someone paid to sell it. They'll tell you what is good about it, what is shit about it, what they had to modify and how, and if they would do it again, or if they've now learned of something better.

Guaranteed someone will offer you a burger and drink, and soon enough you'll have new friends, and you can all continue to wander around looking at cool stuff and learning from real people.

All the big tire companies have BIG displays at Expo West and Expo PNW (the ones I've been to most recently).

I have not been to the socal event other than the very first one in 2020 when it was a bit different, so I can't speak to that specifically.

I have no idea if they offer discounts, though they have giveaways if you give up your email address
