Almost out
Thinking about selling the Jk. I need a daily driver and this ain't cuttin it.
I have a drag car so my jeep can't be my toy.
Probably go back to driving a p/u truck. The jeep has been to problamatic to keep as a
DD and wheel. Not to mention the MPG's. Trust me, I am one of the last to gripe about fuel economy having own nothing but fullsize trucks and muscle cars. But 11-12 MPG's is redicoulus.
FL. trails are to muddy and there is nothing really to
to climb. I can't see mudding a brand new 25-30K vehicle and then having to spend 4 hours cleaning it only to get under it and see that it is still a wreck.
Dirt and water=mud and the mud seepes into places, dries and becomes
sandpaper
If this was a toy that I could take my time cleaning untill the next outing
I wouldn't mind but when you have to drive it to work monday morning
and you were just out sunday wheeling it kinda sucks.
Maybe after this season I will sell the race car and purchase an older
FSJ or a TJ to wheel.

to the OP how many miles do you have? I found when I got my 08 I was only getting 10 to 12mpg until I put more miles on it. once I broke 3k mi my mileage kept going up till about 19mpg, somedays I would hit 23mpg.

I have to agree about the gas mileage. After I went on a couple long hauls and past 6k miles my MPG has shot up to almost 19. This is a sahara with 32's 373 gears, and I drive the highway at 75 all day long.
