I would suggest keeping it snug against the back of the rear seats when not in use. The locking mechanisms do keep it in place securely in the tracks, but there is a slight amount of play in them and it rocks back and forth a bit. If it's snug against whatever cargo you have or the seat-back, it holds it tight and keeps it from rocking/rattling. Having said that... I have no idea if it rattles. I always keep it against the rear seat. I have only used it once for cargo. Yesterday at the grocery store we used it to keep stuff from rolling around the cargo area and it did not make any noise at all. It's a great addition to the cargo area. |

Today I added the M stripes on the grille. Also ordered off of AFE, dry drop in air cleaner and Sprint Booster V3 Power Converter. Hoping for a bit more responsiveness. I'm not certain if the grille stripes will have much impact on the speed.

Diff + Transfer case
Replaced fluids in both differentials and the transfer case. A few notes:
- The OEM liquids are very expensive, about $50 per 0.5L. Well, I did not want to take the risk as I do it once. - Old oils were dark, real dark, for all 3. - Long bolt in Transfer case brace was PITA. I had to use wire to push it thru. reassembling back is easier. - Replace all plugs (4). They are same size. Last edited by F30ed; 09-03-2019 at 02:53 PM.. |

Had water pump and thermostat replaced pre-emptively along with an oil change. Done last week and forgot to mention it. Added cargo net set-up in the luggage compartment last night as well as heading out on a trip today. Jersey and back and then flight to the Keys. Car rental at the other end is an X3; we'll see how that goes. Pretty certain it's a four banger.

Replaced rear brakes. Nothing hard, used FCP euro set. One thing that was strange - caliper mount bolts, that have torque spec 75 Nm 45°10°. I had no idea how to read it, went anal on the first bolt and torqued it to exactly 75Nm + 45+10 degrees and realized that I can not move wrench even a milliliter further. All other bolts I simply torqued to the max of my strength.

60,000 mile oil change on my wife's '17 35i over last weekend. Transmission fluid change is on the horizon before too much winter sets in.
