| Re: Bender's 1:1 JK Build I am still getting good gas mileage because I am still running the stock tires. Averaging about 16 around town and 20 on the highway. I know that will change with the bigger tires. |

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.

Also, those plastidipped badges look SICK! I might have to do the same to my JK

Man I would love 23-25! Getting 13-15 in an '11. I'm in hilly north-ish GA (ATL Suburbs) though... Yours is looking good, enjoy! |

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. |
