Drove HP out west this evening to collect the scrub bars.
Did 120km driving with HP fully loaded. All up she went well, on the freeway out I stayed in 4th Gear on the freeway and she was good, way home traffic was light so used 5th and was doing 110km on the freeway, remember 4th gear syncro is shot, upshifting is fine, back going from 5th to 4th never works, I need to slow to 60km and go into 3rd. Hence needs nice roads for 5th. Still she went fine with no issues. Checked my oil leaks when I got home and looked no worese for wear, transfer is just wet looking so all good.
The floor insulation made a huge difference with noise and heat, looking forward to Simo, bring it on.
