Had to drive the wife to work at midnught so she could start putting for our vacation.
Got 20.1 mpg on the way there, and 19.5 on the way back @ 65 mph.

might be cause i'm averaging 19 to 20 mpg. Flowmaster, K&N cai, and Hypertech.

Took an iphone pic of me using it as a ladder:

ie I climbed out the open sunroof and walked right onto the roof. Can't believe it took me 6 months to think of it.

Besides it was a good excuse to show off the wheels with everything clean.

Ha ha ha... see not just a SUV for getting around.. All kinds of uses.. Ive done the same thing already.. lmao. When in doubt improvise...

redid the leaf springs, put them back in, wash and waxed it, mounted a 38in tire in the rear!

Finally got my 22s put on. Now I gotta save for the rest of my lowering kit.

Yes I know, I need to get rid of those whack ebay running boards. Gonna have to wait until I get it lowered.

 

[killer20072001]

^ Looks great man love that color wheel. What brand are those?

 

[dropmech]

DOA Dirtnaps. Originally chrome but they started peeling. Had the chrome removed and grabbed some flat black rustoleum spray paint from home depot and had at it.

 

[rich5368]

Washed it. Cleaned the wheel wells and made em all black again. Polished those factory 17's and used some Meguires on the inside.

 

[TeaDubya2011]

I somewhat fixed the ac. charged it up and filled it with freon. The valve was leaking (has the ball instead of the core) so i got it plugged for now. still blowing cold! hope i can say that in the morning

that is about what i get commuting.

Average over 5-7 miles each way with nary a stop last night though.

good to know it can pull down respectable numbers since i will be taking it on a 3500+ mile round trip in june.

 

[Redhoe01]

Where are you driving from and to Eagle? I am driving from Dallas, TX to just North of Concord, NH in May and that is about 1900 miles.

 

[Eagle]

how????

and i got the inmates to detail it for me today, they make great workers sometimes

Dunno really, combo of just hitting the sweet spot on MPH and backing off 2 mph on cruise going uphill.

No tune, no After market gizmos

I haven't even changed the plugs yet.

Did change the oil, fuel, & air filters not too long ago.


Mostly Tires are not excessively wide nor taller than stock, wheels are not heavy or large diameter.

3.73s and 5.3 don't work well sub 50 mph for MPG.

had traffic interfering with smooth driving, and didn't do the 2-5 mph back off going uphill... got 18.7 mpg on the way down there.

on the way back...

 

[thehoe92]

[MUDDER TRUCKER]
