    How's your fuel milage panning out going from 30s to 38s with the new axles? I seem to be averaging 15-16 in my bone stock Rubicon. [cry]

    Um...what?

    You should be able to get better than that with my overweight pile with the lame sauce 3.8 and horrid 4 speed slush box I get 14-17mpg (real calculation not the computer which is always about .5-1.5 high)

    Hand calculated I got 15 exactly on the last tank. But, I have a tendency to drive it faster then I need too.

    Um...what?

    According to the Jeep I'm averaging around 14mpg.

    I show as 12.9, but my hand calculation is right at 14 on my jeep. I got almost 16 driving back and forth to the Dusy trail with John, at about 75 MPH.

    I still need to correct my tire height in my superchip programmer.

    Got a little bit of time today to trim the rear flares and body. Also folded a little of the pinch seam. I'm going to get some door trim for the flares to clean up the edges and will paint the wheel wells black..

    Front flares trimmed. Still need to trim and re-install the inners and get some door trim for the edges.

    Figured out that Windows ignores picture orientation set by my iPhone. Images fixed. :)

    EVO skids are in! Oil pan skid took the longest with having to gently tighten all of the bolts. Bugle horn exhaust is now protected.

    Inners are trimmed and back in. Took me a while to decide where to put the LED marker/ signal lights. These are three wire lights with inline resistor. Ended up putting it in the center and it alternates turn signal with the front signal when lights are on. Not bad for a whopping $8 each on Amazon. Also trimmed the ends of the crossmember as they were sticking out pretty far and sway bar would likely hit when flexed.
