I get about 23-24 on the highway with 35's. I got about 27mpg with the stock dinky 29" tires. And yes, that's actual calculated milage, not just the stupid indicated one on the dash.

To do list for this weekend included a new shorty radio antenna and removing the silver bumper cover from the rear bumper. Picked up the new off-road antenna from Rebel Off-road last Friday. Install was as simple as it gets! A shot of the stock antenna's length, which is really long.  The new shorty antenna.  To remove the old antenna all that is required is a 3/8" open end wrench.  I added a dab of Axial thread lock to the new antenna's threads just for a little extra security.   Installed. I haven't noticed any difference in reception from the stock antenna to the new rubber shorty.  I had to remove the rear bumper in order to access the screws holding the silver trim in place.   Re-installed.  More to come soon! |

Looking good B-Rad! You sure are ambitious for just wheeling your family to the mall.  |

I found some old wheeling photos a couple weeks ago, funny to see my old YJ now. Look at that flex!  My TJ a couple years ago in Big Bear.   | |

That looks like just the right vehicle for a young family Brad. It should be a memory maker for sure. When my family was young we had a motor home and my kids still talk about those vacations today thirty years later. Best part they all come with a campfire.  |
