Why do you have more then one jeep? You should get rid of one of them.
Do you really need all these extra parts? I think you should get rid of them.

Those things are gold on the rare occasion you find one at a jy that's not broken.

When you going to park that thing and get a fuel efficient car?? My reply " when you start worrying about your own stuff!! ". For some reason that one REALLY gets under my skin.

I also push 20mpg, 4.5" lift with 31s and 3:55 gears....ok so I drove 55-60mph the whole time but 20mpg In a lifted brick with a '60s tractor engine ain't bad.

That's why I think it gets under my skin so bad I average 20 mpg also. So I have a 1,500$ rig that goes where ever I want that gets 20mpg compared to a 40,000+ that gets 30 and can only take you as far as the road goes. LOL

I would also like to point out that as capable as the JK is offroad, the mpgs blow. My GFs 2 door gets like 15 and she drives all highway...stock gears are 3.21 and that stupid little v6 is matted the whole time. XJ wins hands down.

That's a thought... Already have some from fixing my fog light when I broke it doing the headlight harness upgrade.
