Got 12.6 mpg and then got a little scared going through a "side of the road" ORV park... I didn't realize how deep it was till I was half way through. But he came out alright. A little water splashed on the hood but none inside the cab or in the air system. We were desperate for some dirt marks, the rain cleaned the rest off. Got a few jeep waves too. The 5 ft cb antenna must be helping.

I have been very happy with Advanced Auto Parts. I have bought things from three different stores. All of the products have worked great. Their employees are also very knowledgeable. I had one of them offer to come and help me finish an install for free. I didn't end up needing him though.

finally put the new sensors in redmuck and cleaned the throttle body and intake and unclogged the ccv tube on the back of the valve cover so the oil would stop blowing into the air filter and in the throttle body. new wix air filter too. quart and a half of oil in him too and evened out the air pressure in all 4 tires. various other annoying little things inside and out. gonna gas him up saturday and go to michigan city to that one junk yard and of course white castle and see how his mileage does.

It was my girlfriends idea, she didn't want to have a girl car. Lol, so it a guy. Plus, once everything's done with it, it not going to look very feminine at all. Thank god for lift kist and big tires. Those meats look nice. How wide are they?

I shortened up the old front springs and put them in the rear to level things out. The back needs to be a touch higher anyways because it will usually be carrying more than it is now.

Thanks maing. Yea the exo should be done in the next month. I can't wait to have HER all done long armed, 4-linked, exo'd and ready to roll.....over. Oh and I installed the Corbeau seats on the stock motorized brackets with some welding and fighting. After mounting my seats I realized just how much the tunnel and right side of the drivers floor is pushed up from bashing the unibody. I will have to figure something out to make the floor by right driver seat mount straight again. I figure I will need my BFH!!! Oh yea and I cut and folded the dreaded factory installed tire slicer.

My girlfriend has asked the same thing but has learned to accept that I have two loves. The other day she said the jeep has to be at our wedding because it was going to be a lifetime commitment between the three of us! (Almost got me teary eyed)
