at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

...I'm not sure if it has stock gears or not. Havent had the truck very long. I think something got messed with cause at 65mph it's at 2k rpm, and I am actually (according to my new tacoma following it) doing about 62mph.....which would not make sence because I have TALLER tires on the jeep than stock, which means it should be indicating slower than actual speed. So I wonder if I do have aftermarket gearing?

....in trucks past, raising it a few inches and putting on a little bigger tire did not loose that much mpg. Truck runs well, doesnt burn oil, doesnt blow anything out the back on start....but I suspect it running rich, cause its goin threw the fuel, haha. I put an afe high flow panel filter in the box, and put bosch platinum +4's in. Thats about all I have done besides change all the fluids and a fuel filter. Only problem I am having is the high idle 2200rpm on cold start...something is sticking. then relatively high idle most the time once warm at about 900-1100rpm. Pretty sure its the IAC, as I have checked vacuum lines. Its something that changes once warm though...like something is getting stuck, then warms up and free's up. Weird.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yeah, not making a drag machine out of it, hahaha...its a jeep. Its my hunting rig. Just wanted a little more poop is all, and for it to run well. Going to be my daily driver for 2 months most likely so sounded like a pretty easy way to get some hp. I read about those ford fuel injectors too, and think I might go that route first, as I am almost certain mine are the stock 18 year old injectors at 187k. The truck is a 5spd, 4x4, short box. It has that lift kit that puts the axle below the leaf springs in the back, and longer coils in the front...so its a good 4-5 inches over stock, and its running 32x11.50 BF all terrain KO's on aluminum 15x8 wheels. Otherwise its stock. So I effectively raised an unaerodynamic brick making it even worst.....BUT....14-15 with a little city and a lot of highway seems a little low. According to what I have read, and whats on edmunds and sites like that, the 5spd 4.0 eliminator was rated at 17-22mpg brand new/stock height

AHHH....guess I missed that. I just watched the initial test and it was interesting WHY they were finding it was good to keep the tail gate up.

I saw this thing on myth busters that showed that running the stock tail gate in the up position gave the best gas mileage possible in reality. Not sure if it applies to every single truck, but I thought it was interesting.

RHINO LINING. Had it on three trucks now and I can't get the stuff to chip or wear out. Toughest stuff I have seen. Seen a lot of problems with line-x for some reason. Doesnt take much for it to peel up or rip when sliding something with any weight across it.

Hey there. First Post, glad I found you guys. I have a 90 comanche with the 4.0 and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the bored throttle bodies from XJ-ARMOR. My truck has 187k on it and was just lookin at improving the power a little and getting it to run a little more efficient. Gettin about 14-15 mpg with her right now, which is a tad lower than I was expecting. Going to go through the sensors and make sure they are good/replaced. I cleaned the TB and it has a AFE filter in it. I also have the common high idle problem on cold start up, which sounds like the IAC sticking....probably all gummed up. Anyway, just wondering if the $175 for a bored xj-armor TB was worth it, and if anyone had any experience. Thanks!! http://www.xj-armor.com/tb.htm
