*If this thread shows some interest, I'll post up more.

I love that light bar

Ditch that lightbar and keep the black top. That white top is terrible. Looks great witht the black..

Imight be biased though

cool jeep..what kind of mpg? I'm thinking about getting one and was curious what kind mpg it gets stock and then what kind of mpg could i expect with 35's on it??
thanks!

Also, this might be better in the 4x4 section

light bar is staying. I paid a lot of money for it. Also, had the mounting brackets painted to match. And, I really like the look. I ordered the jeep with the color matched painted hard top and fender flares. The hard top is only for winter months anyways. Otherwise, it's soft top, or no top.

Thanks! I'm averaging about 14.5-15mpg in the city. Don't do too much highway driving but it's over 17 I believe. Rides better than stock with the AEV suspension.

I think a lot of the higher quality reverse backup cameras have this feature now a days.

You're getting 14.5 in the city on 35's???

We get 10.5-11 if we're lucky. We've hit 13.5 on the highway during trips.

LOL....I think its because we have the old engine. The new Pentastars are MUCH better engines. More powerful, more efficient, etc.....Ours only gets driven 2-3 miles a day, or when we go on offroad trips, so the engine wasnt that important to us and we stole our 2010, but had to drive 6 hours to pick it up.
