    Bigger tires and lift affecting MPG...

    I totally agree and understand what you're saying, that regearing essentially overcomes the larger tire circumference and puts the engine RPM's back to original. And by comparison...I'm getting 16 MPG combined right now, so I'm not complaining. I'm just curious how folks with 4.10s and 265's...

    Bigger tires and lift affecting MPG...

    I wouldn't say "totally" false. If all other equipment was left unchanged, shorter gears would equate to higher RPM's, equaling more fuel burned. In the case of regearing to put the motor back into the power band due to changing tire sizes, I would maybe agree with you. However, you still...

    Whats your favorite headlight bulb?

    I've wondered about those bulbs. I was looking for brighter bulbs for our old van, as the low beams were really dim and hard to see anything towards the edge of the road. I read a lot about different bulbs, and most places recommended the GE Nighthawk, but some also liked the Philips. I never...

    Bigger tires and lift affecting MPG...

    Again...what was your MPG before you ever lifted? I guess what I'm getting at is, is it possible that your Jeep got substantially better than average MPG before you even lifted? I've seen some people claim they're pulling in the neighborhood of 24 MPG stock. Mine has never gotten over 20...

    Bigger tires and lift affecting MPG...

    Would you happen to recall what your MPG was before you lifted and such? It appears there's quite a variance in MPG between Liberty's here...maybe some just get better than others from the get-go? Like I said, mine from when I first got it, immediately after new plugs, oil, fluids, etc...

    Bigger tires and lift affecting MPG...

    Apparently you missed my comment about only getting 17-18 BEFORE the tires. :shrug: I'd have to see it believe it, before I'd trust that you're really getting 21+ highway. Our '05 T&C 3.8 wouldn't do better than 22-23 highway at 70-75...and that was on long trips for vacation and such. It's...

    Bigger tires and lift affecting MPG...

    On my gasser, I have the OME lift with a bit of a clevis lift as well, and am running 265/75R16's. I haven't had to trim yet, but the tires rub the swaybar, and I also get some rubbing on the pinch weld plastic cover. Nothing too drastic yet. As far as MPG, I easily lost about 2 MPG average...

    Air condition compressor going bad?

    Not too sure on that...possibly the A/C clutch is going bad? Also, could be your tensioner arm needs replaced (if the spring is getting weak, it won't hold enough tension on the belt.)

    Airbox/Air Filter question

    Just thinking off the top of my head, I know my aquarium filter uses some fairly porous foam. Not sure how much the dealer wants for that piece, but you could probably grab a piece of foam for an aquarium filter and trim to fit as well.

    New Tires...Finally!

    Finally uploaded a few more pics..just thought I'd share. Really loving these tires so far! Need to find some mud or some trails to try 'em out, but I'm lacking in the recovery and protection department to go anywhere too serious.

    New Hitch from HitchAnything

    OK, as promised...here's a few pics installed. Mind you, that's a 265/75R16 tire hanging off the spare carrier. It's tight, but works. I want to get a bigger drop for my hitch, which will help level the tongue of the trailer, plus give me some more mounting clearance.

    Another Tire question..newbie here

    I'm pretty happy with my Wild Country XTX Sport all-terrain tires. Multi-Mile - SUV-LT I got them from a local mom & pop tire shop for $570 out the door (for 265/75R16's p-rated).

    muffler

    After seeing a magnaflow, i'll never go back to a chambered muffler. I've had the "turbo" style on a few vehicles, and plan to install one on the Jeep. Even on a 5.7L Hemi, it was quiet at highway speeds, maybe just a little deeper, but when you opened up the throttle, it was much more...

    Making the Kj more manly/aggressive

    Do you have tow hooks now? If not, you can usually find them online, or just order a set. If you put one of those cheap pushbar/grill guards on..they use the OEM mounting for the towhooks, and you'll have to remove your fully functional towhooks for a cheap cosmetic item that offers no real...

    Liberty vs. Wrangler

    I found it entertaining...lol But yeah, I would in no way consider the KJ in the same class as a Wrangler...the same way I would in no way consider the Wrangler in the same class as the KJ. Two different vehicles, with two purposes in mind. However, take the Liberty and compare it to the Ford...
