I was told you cant expect too much improvement if any on your MPG bc i thought about swapping on my old jeep for that reason, but i could be wrong, Let us know

My buddy has some pictures I have to get from him. Here are some from when I got home lol. Got stuck once. Was bottomed out on the axles and transfer case cross member. Lockers worked great.

did it over a year ago. no mpg improvement. I see bigger improvements when running proper air pressure in the tires.

Got stuck on the axles. More my fault though. Entered at a crawl hit the gas at about 1/3 of the way in then ran aground. made it through the second time.

Be careful in those parts of the woods because the rangers are out there keeping people off those areas.

How do I know what type of power steering I have? Variable assist or regular? I need to know so I can replace the high pressure line. Mine is leaking.

Nevermind on the power steering. Replaced it today. non-variable. Advance auto had it for 18 plus tax. Pain in the ***. Had to cut the line just above the nut on the steering box and then use an impact gun to get it off.

Any thoughts? Anyone know where I can get one even bigger for just as cheap?
