QuarterSwede got a reaction from jkeaton in Rear Wiper Coverage
Slightly OT: Trico wipers are great.

QuarterSwede reacted to bfurth in Accident x2
Bruises and bones heal soon enough. Cars can be replaced.
On the bright side, you get to go car shopping!

QuarterSwede reacted to xcaliber81 in Backup camera alignment
Tbh I don't care for the lines I can back up pretty good without the lines. I however like the cam so when I'm backing up I can see I obstacles I wouldn't be able to see with mirrors or out the back window

It's possible that the harness may be there, because they pretty much build them all the same these days. 4 wires on the harness; not very big.

Nope, only have the flat cap instead. -

Is there any wiring needed for the light sensor or is that already there? I'd love to add Auto lights for cheap, assuming FAC adds the code again. -
QuarterSwede reacted to jkeaton in 5 Passenger, or 7 Passenger?
It is not like a suburban or expedition. But you can fit 7 people. 3rd row is tight. But find me another 7 passenger vehicle in the price range that has a cavernous 3rd row area.

We can do that if everyone thinks that would be a better spot.

Taking the DJ to sea level (San Onofre) for a surf this weekend. I guess I'll have to get after that Pentastar while I'm down there. Ha!
Peace.

I'm at 6500 and up or down 1000ft doesn't seem to affect power. Efficiency, maybe? I've yet to take it up Pikes Peak to see what a 14er will do. Lol. -
QuarterSwede got a reaction from dhh3 in 'Barn find' 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
Excellent find! I've got a similar story:
When my wife's great Aunt died in West Virginia no one in the family wanted to clean out her estate (house and barn) so since we were already engaged and needed furniture we decided to help out and as payment get most of what no one wanted.
In the process we found an original WWII Jeep rusted stiff under her old wooden barn sort of in a basement garage. They sold it for scrap because it was in such bad shape but not before I pried off the Jeep info plate. What a treasure.

At an elevation of 7000 feet, you loose almost 60 hp with the 3.6 due to lower air pressure/density.
Here is a HP calculator that accounts for altitude: http://www.wallaceracing.com/braking-hp.php

In mountainy Colorado it fairs worse but it does love to go fast. It's an absolutely beast on the highway even going up 1000ft quick elevations and I LOVE that. I think I've gotten it up to 23 on the highway. That's only 45 miles though. We're taking a 12 hour drive to Arizona next month and I'll definitely be eyeing the efficiency in route.

Pretty cool. Added another state, Colorado!
Interestingly Redtomatoman I'll be driving past you on I-40 on my way to Phoenix in 3 weeks for my wife's grandmother's interment (no need for condolences, she was a spiteful old bat).

QuarterSwede reacted to dhh3 in 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
Stow-n-Go took the room for the AWD. Too bad they can't figure a way around this.

QuarterSwede got a reaction from dhh3 in 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
It looks exactly like a 200. I've got one as a rental currently and like aspects of it (the design is definitely futuristic). However I really hope they don't keep the front seats. They're some of the most uncomfortable I've been in lately. I can't position the lumbar support to go all the way back (basically off) and it's killing my back on my commute.
The Pacifica also seems to share the 200's headlights. They look fantastic but in use they're downright dangerous. I can only see about 40 feet ahead and then there is an immediate cutoff. That's about half what I normally can see in the Journey. If a deer were to cross the road there would be ZERO chance I'd be able to avoid it by the time I saw it.
I'm also bummed there is no AWD version again. That's basically a must here in Colorado and the reason we bought a Journey and not a minivan.

QuarterSwede reacted to ChrisPollard in AWD is terrible
And as was pointed out, Subaru is the undisputed king of AWD. If AWD is what you want - or demand in a vehicle - they should be your first choice!
I'm curious to see how the stock Hankook's on my DJ handle this winter vs. the Tiger Paws on the Sebring I traded in. A/S vs A/S. Also curious how often I'll find myself turning off the traction control. Never having had it before, I'm not sure if I'll find it a hazardous distraction to my driving or not. But I'm sure my wife will like it.

Push the start button without your foot on the brake. Welcome to the forum.

QuarterSwede got a reaction from dhh3 in Alpine SPS-110TW Component Tweeters
Just a heads up, the tweeters themselves are more like 2.5" but the mounting plate is actually a full sized 3.5" with two hole pattern. It fits standard 2.6" dash tweeters fine. I put Infinity Reference tweeters in myself which Crutchfield said wouldn't fit. Luckily I had found a Sosche speaker guide that showed the mounting depth. The only thing I had to worry about was the tweeter to grill depth but they ended up fitting with more than enough room as the super tweeters weren't above the speaker itself. They fit with plenty of room and the holes were a perfect match.Regarding the pillars, the airbag is right above the headliner so the trim on the pillar can come off without worrying about it. I should've taken pictures for everyone's reference. After the pillar trim comes off its just a matter of prying the defroster/dash speaker trim up.
And yes, upgrading the dash speakers is a major upgrade as they really pull the sound stage to the front of the vehicle.
As a note, I used the crossover on my upgraded head unit so I didn't get one with an inline crossover. I believe I have it set to 80Hz cut off. The front doors will be affected but that doesn't matter since the rear 6x9's and future sub will fill that gap. The difference is nil to my ears with the exception of the dash speakers not trying to bottom out every once in a while now.

Couldn't you use a leaf blower? I like my amp, sub and speakers!

I can see why you say they're adequate; they're designed for radio. -
QuarterSwede got a reaction from DJDiggler in How to remove Aux inputs on center console?
Follow the first page of the PDF above as you probably won't need to remove the entire console. Use trim removal tools and you won't break or mar them and they'll just pop up and off. You're going to feel like you're going to break them but they're ABS plastic and will just pop the retainer clips out of the retention holes. Once the trim is up you'll be able to access the USB/AUX harness. It's a bear and not what you're going to expect. I never was able to get mine unclipped when I ran my aftermarket USB cable.
