What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tail wind downhill in neutral? 4 cyl? The absolute best we have seen since ownership has been 22.5 driving like an 80 year old in a cadillac.

I almost didn't believe it myself. I have a limited with the 3.4 and 4x4. There wasn't any tail wind, I just followed behind a semi for about half the trip. I wasn't in any rush so I only averaged 58 mph (according to my Scangauge II). The elevation changes is only about 650'.

I filled up before and after the trip and hand verified the 25.8 that the Scangauge read. I usually average 21-22 mpg at 65-70 mph

Drafting (not drifting) is a proven fact. However, in real life drafting a semi is dangerous and probably not worth the risk.

I was about 8 or 9 car lengths behind. I was able to see his mirrors the entire time. After he exited my mpg dropped only about 1 on the instantaneous read out. I would never endanger myself in order to gain mileage.

Nice wheels, and I dig that roof rack, Im considering getting the same one, did you notice a significant drop in gas mileage?

Used my cig lighter light and ashtray light to light up the shifter area.

What size tires and is that stock suspension height?

 

[Ed_C]

Been running around with no spare tire because I wanted to repaint the rusty steel wheel,decided to just mount the tire on an aluminum wheel so no more rust issues.

High-wattage HID ballasts arrived in the mail for a planned projector retro,may test them on the fog lights for now.

Pulled the blower motor to see why it sounded so funky, guess I lost some insulation from somewhere lol. I also did the final install on the AEM FI/C 6.

 

[cashmoney]

Pulled the dash and heater core out. Today is reinstallation and hopefully driving test and if I'm lucky I'll finally get the lift on that's been sitting in my garage for 4 weeks.

Installed my awning, but the stock brackets are just a bit to low. I have to make another set before this weekend. Camping @ the Oregon Coast.

Can we see that rear bumper?

Can we see that rear bumper?

 

[AZBub]

I had an obnoxious amount noise from my AC blower motor but I was unlucky, once I took it out it pretty much fell apart and a ton of black soot poured out of the motor. Got a cheap OE one from Amazon that doesn't have the crap jumper cables and included the fan.

No AC in AZ is a death wish. No bueno!

That's the Savage off-road bumper, right? looks good man! ready for serious camping trips there!

Sorry, I forgot to link the parts in the original post. It really is a super cheap and easy way to get back your full reception potential.

Also, I see you mentioned that you want to "fix" your dash LEDs. Are they burning out on you? I've considered replacing my gauge cluster bulbs with brighter white LED bulbs, but haven't yet because it's not worth it if there are hotspots and bulb life longevity issues. I don't want to have to replace them every year or two. How long did your bulbs last?

The problem I didn't know I had and now solved...I love this forum! Went ahead and added a switch to control the power antenna while I was at it!

No that is a Badlands bumper local guy in WA. He made my front, rear and sliders which are not installed yet.
