What have you done to your KK lately

Installed the 4.7L throttle body. What a difference! I'm sure it more dramatic for me cuz I have some other mods, but the throttle is very sensitive and it really has some more pep. It's finally not a complete dog off the line and it's not struggling at high speeds. I may have hit triple digits on the speedometer today.

Yup. He let me know that in advanced. All of my Google searches showed that it was okay to do so. I'm surprised how different the Jeep feels now. It definitely seems to be enjoying it.
Had a really good time test driving it yesterday because I drove to Carlisle Pennsylvania. I'm at like 340 miles right now and a little less than a quarter tank left. Drove fast the way there, and even faster the way back. Gonna post some pictures in the random thread. I didn't take too many, but I had a great time for sure!

Can you post some better pictures. I'm curious about throttle body. Some people says is a waste of time and money

What do you mean by "mount it UPSIDE DOWN"?

Hard to explain, basically there is a notch that makes aligning the throttle body difficult when put on right side up. However mounting it upside down will allow it to be bolted on and has no adverse effects on the performance of the throttle

Filled up and got 20mpg. 90 percent of that tank was highway at speeds of 70-80mph.

Just make sure not to weight down the back if your going to error on weight distribution error towards the front, I towed that trailer with a little to much weight towards the back and that thing was horrible to tow, it has to do something with these u-haul trailers or something lol

Installed JeepMonkey's light brackets and set of Pod lights. Picture was just for a quick mock up but they are now fully installed & wired!

I filled it up last night after going 333.8 miles on the tank. The gas light wasn't even on yet but I'm sure it was close since I put about 16 gallons in.

That's pretty good mileage.
