#1909 of 2201 Re: Good pixs on the Baja hard bed cover... [rsholland] by yooper Jan 09, 2005 (6:27 pm)
Replying to: rsholland (Jan 07, 2005 5:58 pm) Thanks! That is a very imformative site for information other than the bed cover too.   I built my own bed cover and I was curious how it looked in comparison. I'm sure the cover discussed on the site is more secure and weather tight, but I think mine has a much cleaner look.   I built it with OSB board, hinged in the middle. I put carpet pad on top and covered it with black vinyl. By hinging it in the middle it will fold and fit in the back seat or through the midgate if I need to remove it and bring something home.   I'll try to post some pics when I get a chance.   YooperBaja

They should have had that from the start!   -juice
#1911 of 2201 This just in on the Honda Ridgeline... by once_for_all Jan 10, 2005 (2:14 pm)
Note the locking in bed storage (!!), hauls 4 x 8 plywood, gets 16 city 21 highway mpg. This will be a MEATY Baja-type vehicle. I am still hoping for the B9 Tribeca to be reconstructed into this.   John   • 255-hp, 3.5-Liter, 24-Valve SOHC VTEC® V-6 Engine • 5-Speed Automatic Transmission • Variable Torque Management® 4-Wheel Drive System (VTM-4®) • Locking Rear Differential • Heavy-Duty Automatic-Transmission and Power Steering Coolers • Heavy-Duty Radiator with Dual 160-Watt Fans • Fresh-Air Intake • 4-Wheel Independent Suspension          Safety  • Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with EBD and Brake Assist • Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) with Traction Control • Front, Side and Side Curtain Airbags with Rollover Sensor • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) • Power Door and Tailgate Locks • LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)          Audio  • 100-Watt AM/FM/XM®-Ready/CD Audio System with 6 Speakers          Interior  • Power Windows, Door Locks and Mirrors • Multifunctional Center Storage Console with Sliding Armrest • 60/40 Lift-Up Rear Seat with Underseat Storage • Power Sliding Rear Cabin Window          Exterior  • Dual-Action Tailgate • In-Bed Trunk™ • Automatic Heated Wiper Zone • Remote Entry System • Large Foldable Side Mirrors • Privacy Glass • Integrated Bed Lights (4) with Auto-Off Timer • Heavy-Duty Tow Hooks (Front and Rear) • Hidden Roof-Mounted Antenna

16/21 is kinda lousy if you ask me. But I'm looking at it from the Pilot point of view, not from a mid-size pickup.   And don't forget - no midgate at all, not even a small one.   Still, it gets the bulk of it right, and I think it'll be mildly successful.   -juice Replies to this message: once_for_all (Jan 11, 2005 9:56 am) xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 10:01 am) once_for_all (Jan 11, 2005 10:20 am) and 1 more...
#1913 of 2201 Even so... by rsholland Jan 10, 2005 (2:18 pm)
it is sooooooo much better than the Baja, it just makes me sick... This is what Subaru should have done from day one! The size and capability are perfect.   It will be HUGELY successful!   Bob

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 10, 2005 2:16 pm) yep, the mileage is the issue for me too. I think Honda will eventually bring in the Pilot's VCM system and bump highway MPG up to 25 or so.   If there ever is a Baja Tribeca at 29 mpg, look out the sales will be big time.     Plus, lets not forget the hybrids Subaru is promising us.   John Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 10:01 am) once_for_all (Jan 11, 2005 10:20 am) xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: once_for_all (Jan 11, 2005 9:56 am) That would indeed be impressive, but then what would the excuse be for the mpg on the Legacy (or Impreza, for that matter) since it is a smaller rig? Replies to this message: once_for_all (Jan 11, 2005 10:20 am) xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 10:01 am) don't know the excuse. Note that the Baja Turbo makes 1 mpg more highway than the Forester Turbo which boasts less weight, better aerodynamics, etc.   I think it must have to do with the engine tuning (injection timing, turbo specs, valve timing, etc.).   John Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 11, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: once_for_all (Jan 11, 2005 10:20 am) Yeah, those engines are like a sponge and they squeeze all the performance out of them that they can. All of the turbos are different though. I haven't looked too close lately, but some are 225 hp, some 250, and I think the WRX STi is 300 w/ an unbelievable 0-60 esp for AWD. In order to tap the horses, you've gotta feed 'em! ;-D
