RE: So What's Next?

Ok, so now that it's running, I'm waiting to put some miles on it so that I can begin to get a FE base line... I will have to base mine on miles per tank. I know it's not the best way for measuring the effects of individual mods, but once I begin commuting with the GEO, my bottom line concern is how many miles was I able to get out of this tank... Being a pre-OBD2, a scan gauge is out the window, and I won't be making an MPGuino anytime soon...

So for now, miles per tank will have to do. But since my commute is 120 miles daily, I should be able to get a base line fairly quickly.


But here are a few things coming down the pipe line...

-Partial Kammback
have on spare car, but not installed.

-XFI ECM swap
purchased, but not installed.

-Custom Econo Cam Grind
purchased, but not installed.
(originally installed, but then removed)


- Alternator Disconnect Switch
Group 22 - AGM - 43 Ahr -Deep cycle battery installed on factory location
No action taken w/ respect to switch yet


-All Lights to LED conversion - Electrical Load Reduction
Removed all light covers for size & fitment measurements.
Visited a local truck-stop w/ a massive accessory depot. and window/price shopped all different options...
In research stage at the moment


-Flexible Solar Panel Roof
Have found a good fitment candidate... In research stage at the moment.
Have personal experience with solar from other home projects


-Bigger wheel sizes experimentation
In research stage at the momen

-Front wheel skirts
In mental design stages at the moment.

-Rear wheel skirts

-Plexi- headlight covers

-Side mirror/s delete

-Antenna delete / relocate

etc, etc, etc....
