Sorry I can't help you either. I don't commute so I haven't bothered to check the mileage. Powerwise I thought it was going to be worse but it's really quite reasonable. I have 3.73 gears now and i'm not in any rush to put new gears in until boat season when I have to tow my boat.
gerryc, what is that performance chip you added? Do you like it?

Yeah I know where Oshawa is, I have family in Cobourg.
Do you do much off-roading around there? I go to manitoulin and there are some great areas there,...say have you been to "just jeeps" in TO?
I am wondering if they have any parts in stock for the JK, such as bumpers etc.

Now, the question is, will the goodyear mtr's , 285/75/17 fit on my stock wheels and not rub. I have heard that they are narrow enough that they dont. I am a casual off-roader, I am installing the TF BB in a couple days.I am trying to find a good wheel/tire combo that wont totally kill my jeep. I have looked at new wheels as opossed to the wheel spacers but would consider the stock wheels if they dont rub with 34's.

I'm running 35" x 12.5" Pro-Comp ATs using stock 16" rims on a 3" TF lift.
I had to add spacers (legal here in Arizona, might not be where you are?). Even had to add a spacer to the spare to handle the full size spare.
So try without the spacers and check it out carefully. If you need them add them after.
Personally I like the wider stance and the turning radius is uneffected. My tires stick out maybe a 1/2" from the well covers and to me look just fine.
