alls good, just didnt want to be preaching to an empty room.

 

hooked up my amp, and a temp speaker box last night, Its nice to have some bass again.

 

Got my other set of 'daily' rims and tires last night. Gonna try and get them on today...I also have a set of 17s and a set of 18s that will be getting some nice street tires like a set of nittos. Hopefully get another vid with some pulls on the street tires.....headed to the jy right now to look for goodies

 

whew, just read everything up till now...wow.

 

nice build thread man im sittin at work and just read it all ill be followin it from now on oh yea i seen ur from west virginia to im from beckley i work up in winfeild

 

well I have been driving the past couple days on my street tires that I got with my limited. It has def helped put down more power to the road, the tires are way lighter and the slightly smaller diameter increases the torque.

I purchased a set of tires to put on my 17s that should help even more. they are another 1/2" wider without increasing the outer diameter.

Im also working on gathering parts for my suspension, as the motor is almost finished. after my suspension and brakes are done im either going to look into transmission upgrades, or cracking open the 4.0l for headwork.

 

well with the weather being slightly warmer I have been getting much better MPGs. average about 25mpgs, with a high of 27. now this is with the jeeps new summer/street tires. its like everything you get from going bigger except the opposite. minus the traction. its not everyones taste, usually including mine as well, but when do you get 27mpgs will mountain driving?

I know its a bit of a change but with the impact its only a matter of minutes to switch back and forth.

 

As Awesome it is to hear that I'm calling bs....at least until I see some proof of this 27mpgs. I'm pretty sure everyone one CF would like to know how you achieved that if its the case because If thats the truth im pretty sure half the forum will follow suit with your modifications.

 

how would you like me to prove it kind sir?

how bout ill drive the jeep to NY, then when you see my mileage instead of tasting your foot, you can just pay the gas back.

ever since I got the tires swapped over I am getting 24+ even with me being hard on it occasionally. I dont post up things for your approval, or to help myself in any way. this build thread is to keep track of my modifications, and to give ideas to the community. the goal from the beginning was to get 30mpg, with 27 being the norm. right now im at 27/24 so im pretty close.

 

I don't believe a straight 6 getting 27mpg. Must be a miss calculation, 20 gallon tank, not 12. lol.

 

well Ill try and do some accurate testing. but with the last couple trips Im getting 25. I actually get worse mileage on the interstate. even with making the 4.0 efficient, its hard to fight the wind resistance. especially since ill end up cruising at 85-90.

 

Listen If you've got a problem with me calling your bs then send me a pm. But if your going to be simply put an @$$hole about it then keep dreaming. Without proof there is no way in hell your gettting 27mpg and no one is going to believe it. I was asking you how you got it so you could "give ideas to the community" and help the rest of us in achieving your mythical 27 mpg's. But hey you can post all you want, dosent make what your saying to be the truth.

 

Better idea, if you had any disbelief then you pm me. Don't try and call me out in my own thread. If you want ideas then read the thread, its all there. Hopefully ill have some more updates tonight.

 

lmao people cussing each other on forums is hilarious. But, i would like to know how you managed 27 MPG. I have a 3.5 inch lift, bfg wrangler 26's, exhaust, chip, tb spacer, and only get around 23 mpg.

Just reset the trip when you fill up, then the next time you fill up record the miles, then how much gas you PUT INTO the tank, divide the miles by the gallons you put in. thats the most accurate way to do it.

 

26s or 36s? If youre getting 23, how is my 25-27 seem unreasonable?
