My last tank was 18.8mpg. That included a quarter tank of highway, light wheeling, and the rest city.

Jeepin_it_real told me the other day that he was averaging 19-20mpg with 4.56s and 32s. I'm hoping a regear gets me back to 17mpg average. I need to fit 32s first to see what needs to be done/is it worth it.

I'm excited to see what my 4.7L throttle body does after it gets adjusted. Ive ran about 1/2 tank since i installed it and lets just say it was really really bad.

What are all your opinions on tearing out the front fender liners? I'd like to do it but am worried about all the suspension, etc. components becoming rusted out, corrosion occuring.. I'd love to find something to spray over all of that stuff (without ruining it) to prevent all of the above.

Why ? Ugly back in there if you do and not going to gain that much of any

Just wondering really. But I have a huge whole on my left side from going through a tree cut to get to a trail around here. Somehow a branch went right through and I found out on the highway cause the liner was flapping and making noise in the wind.

I took mine out to do the pinch welds and haven't put them back yet. Tom's right, it's ugly back there lol. I noticed that around the inside of the holes where the panels are welded rust is starting to rear is ugly head. I suggest that if the area where you live uses brine to melt snow that you check back there. I planned to take care of it before winter but didn't have the time and nice weather at the same time.

My KK are another Ford, this time it won't buff out. Wednesday morning on I80 in Niles, the guy in front of me ran over a ladder and slammed on his brakes at 70 mph. I tried but just couldn't stop in time. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. My abs didn't even engage and I stood on the brake so hard my back hurt all yesterday. That evening I put on some better brakes, http://m.summitracing.com/search/year/2 ... power-stop
Those are the rotors along with ceramic pads, together in a kit.

Sorry I shouldn't have said selling for cheap. He's asking $100 but I'm obviously not paying that since they're $90 new. I was gonna see if I can get it for $40-$50 and if not I'll wait and buy it new

Bought them off a friend when she was going to trade in her KK. Used skids should be no where near new price lol

I would jump all over some used skids for a good price. JBA arms, too.
