to increase your fuel economy here are some basics use cruise control good air filter good plugs wires cap and rotor slow take offs I had a 5mpg increse when I chilled out onthe throttle at stops when I was younger...It was significant

ironroad 32

lol well it has new wires ,cap and i just reinstalled the cruise from where the p.o had cut all the wires out of it ,transplanted the cruise from my parts rig in and it worked perfectly ..lol

Hey Iron, he forgot to tell you that when you go down the Hwy,get behind a big truck and throw a line, that should help with the mileage :?

amc258

I get 15 mpg, going uphill :lo1l: but I get it a lot slower than you guys :?

ironroad 32

yea that would help ..lol,i was thinking of something with a 258 ,...but then i woke up ..i have 35's with 3.31 gears ..thats a deathwish ..lol

amc258

Yeah, mine's staying on 31s until I can afford 1 ton axles, a 4.0 headswap, and 35s. :lo1l:

Hopefully I'll get back to working on Jeeps this weekend. Since I got laid off on Monday I've been cleaning up the back yard from Isabel damage - the last 120 foot Oak is going in the woodpile!!! I'll be posting before during an after pics soon. Even rented a bigger tactor to fill in some of the holes back there!!! Too small to 4wheel and get stuck in, but big enough to twist or break an ankle! :shock:

Erin's rock sliders came in today so I would like to get them on between rain showers. and I'd like to get the wedges and fender on the CJ and maybe finish some small stuff so I can get it out of the shop to paint the hood.

Think'n of coming down?? Got room at the Inn and space to work on Jeeps :?

Mudrat :mrgreen:

Well I wish I would have seen this yesterday, could have used some adult supervision :shock: We lost power again so I was off the computer about 9PM.
This is what I've been doing for 4 days!! It'll continue tomorrow too :smile:
