Fake cruise control
Lambert wrote: Whatcha. It's almost time for the annual reconnaissance mission to the North Coast. This involves a 9 ish hour motorway stint which is tedious. In other vehicles I have either real cruise control or as a compensation a sort of accelerator pedal foot rest rather than in the Jimny having to maintain a steady foot position for hours on end resulting in a dead ankle. I have seen Dave's push rod arrangements and while functional off road I wouldn't be happy at 70 mph. I have half looked at a foot rest like for the left foot in the automatic one but mounting it suitably isn't immediately obvious. I had also considered a choke cable to the throttle butterfly but again I can't see an obvious way to route one. What else is an option?
Oh, no no no...
My -
Is to set the revs for a winching operation, or for after one to recharge the battery (leave it running at say 2,000 rpm...)
NOT to be some sort of cruise control!
