mpace6a Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 "great on gas" I've never heard of a 4.0 powered jeep, let alone a lifted 4.0 jeep being halfway decent on gas, let alone great :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadiseMJ Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just my lame opinion...but I have never liked ANY stepside. Limited space, Campers tops are too small or don't fit, The new stepsides are super fugly. They tried to make the lines smooth...but it just looks like poo. A stepside bed is small anyway, making it smaller is, well...not MY cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 It's probably been narrowed two fit the Comanche better. As for the comment about gas mileage, when it was still stock 5 years ago my 87 4.0 automatic got 24mpg on the highway any day as long as I kept the speed down to 60mph. IMO, for the age of the truck and the power of the engine that was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Only stepside to ever look good IMO were the Gladiators. What is with the bad mileage comment? My '91 4.0 auto got around 24 highway since I tried to keep it 60 or below as well. Considering the age and the fact that trucks only started increasing their mileage a few years ago, that's pretty good I think. As an example, the Colorado was still only getting around 24 highway back in 2005 with the 4cyl auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just got back to TN driving up from FL yesterday, with two grown individuals in the cab, a little over a 800 lbs in the bed and an idiotically tall topper (its a freakin sail) i got 17.2 mpg on the highway, driving 65mph. Completely empty, no topper, and one person in the cab i got 15 mpg spot on doing purely city driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I pulled that motor and put it in the 99 2dr 5 speed d30/c8.25 3.07's and 245/70r16's I got a solid 19mpg city, 22-24 highest highway. I was more than capable of getting 12mpg out of this combination if I drove like a jackass. stock renix was even better MPG. I suggest you guys spend some time learning the sweet spots of your motors, or make sure they run even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Even running 33x12.50 tires on stock gearing and more than 6" of lift I still got 18mpg running ~80 mph for close to 400 miles. Having a CB radio is a great way to learn where the speed traps are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Consistent 21-22 MPG highway with the stroker @ 75MPH / 2700RPM, 4.10 & 31" tars. Better than the 18/19 highway pre-stroker. But it's de-balanced out by an abysmal 13/14 MPG around town, maybe 75% of my driving. Gotta fool with the FP regulator and Unichip again to find the best balance.....

Minuit Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 :doh: 4.0 V6. If you're going to own a vehicle, is there any reason not to at the very least know what kind of engine is in it? Some people. Unless of course it has a Ford 4.0 stuck in it, but I strongly doubt it. A stepside bed just doesn't look right on a Jeep, or any truck really.

Minuit Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I guess I should have been more clear. A stepside doesn't look right on an MJ or most other trucks. Those Honchos are great, though. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
