MPG Loss might be from the addition of the 42's and those heavy beadlocks

Seeing you've had nothing but trouble with the supercharger. Will RIPP even consider giving your money back?
If not thats some SH%$$Y customer service. It amazes me how companies can sale a product that doesn't perform and get away with it.

Have not pursued refund recourse with RIPP at this point. Want to check out more on my end first (vacuum leaks, bad BOV, etc).

They did admit to providing faulty MAP sensors recently which resulted in some sort of issue (not sure exactly what as I have a hard time interpreting their statements - they write in a manner that is very obtuse with respect to issues that may imply fault on their part). See this post and following ---> https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...=1#post2380339

I am not ready to throw in the towel yet, as there seem to be as many folks not having issues, as those that are - I hope to eventually be in that former group.

I keep seeing Platoon's JK on South Parkway (at least I think it's Matt's - plus there's another black JKU that looks very similar). I've been in the Camry every time so far thus no waving.
