nice, I tried to do a transfer over to mech, but once the put the money in for training they really don't want to let you go, which makes no sense, but you'll understand soon that nothing they do makes much sense lol.

For the last couple months I have been running 32"s with 5.38 gears in an automatic. My mileage is around 14 in the city. On the highway its high teens. I reset it on my last highway trip and I got 20mpg.

I don't recommend 5.38 for DD because it shifts way to fast. What little zip it adds is sucked out by the transmission trying to keep up with the shifting. Can't wait to get 37"s...

Yeah mine on the computer dash gas mileage thing says that if I REALLY feather the skinny pedal and drive really mellow.
My tires measure, mounted on my rims, on my jeep 37 inches.
I run a programmer, drop in air filter, and calibrated speedo.
It is what it is A Jeep and not a Prius I love it.
