Like you I am sure I have forgotten a little stuff. My Jeep was my rehab project after being wounded in Iraq. I bought my Jeep in 2001 and it has been slowly modified since.

He gave it to us for Christmas 3 years ago.

I need to find out about that gear oil charge; seems like a lot.

 

ArmyNurse, how's the fuel mileage? Same, better or worse?

 

Hey, you quit that. We both learned something. Me the posilok non-cable one and you the stupid light thingy. Lots of similarities and differences b/t the both money pits. ahaha

Always learning is a good thing!

 

I don't know yet. I just got it back from the shop a few days ago, I've got a new speedo gear on order, and since the truck isn't my daily driver it'll be a bit before I know. But once I put the new speedo gear in I'll top off the gas tank and reset the trip odometer. I'll report back with what I find.

So what is my daily driver? It's not my truck (was at one time though), it's not my TJ, it's not my ******; it's my.....

2008 two door Toyota Yaris (really). Now this thing gets high 30's for MPG (just over 40 sometimes when straight highway driving).

Ya gotta be a real man secure in your manlyhood to drive a Yaris.

 

AN, thanks for the info. Look forward to the update as you have time.

 

thanks for the numbers. a lot of people don't realize how expensive it is.

 

Gears are probably one of THE most effective mods you can do to your truck, unfortunately, they are also the most expensive.
