Hey guys, right now Chicago is in a state of emergency so I don't plan on doing any off this work now lol, or even until this semester is over. But I want to do some work on my jeep. I am picturing a Lift and Tires and a few lighting jobs as well, however, I did a bunch of research as I originally wanted to roll with a 3 inch lift and some 31's. but after reading a lot of people had gas mileage anywhere from 9-14 with this set up, and I would like to get a bit better. Now since I have a lot of time to look up things before I actually start to build what do you guys recommend? I don't plan on doing any hardcore wheeling, only the select few times a year I get to show off in the mud and trails is really all, so I am not too worried about off road performance. Can you guys help me out with any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Tim

Thanks! I had already found this page once, but didn't bother reading through the 100+ pages of posts haha. But I guess I have the time, so why not try

Thats actually not too bad. If I got that with the set up I wanted that would be prime. Was it a V6 4.0? thats the style I have set up in my Xj. And I can also do a few other things to get better gas mileage as far as air intake and neon injectors too. So i guess I should just go big or go home right? haha
