    Its not bad if your willing to really put in the effort to get good mpg, like I posted above and before I averaged just over 10mpg on my 2300mile trip to WA. Ill be regearing soon so I'm hoping afterwards I can average 15-17 on the highway :fingerscrossed:

    Yeah, it was a windy mf on the way out so that didn't help either. When I have my stock wheels I tried I got around 20-21mpg, If I could get that again and keep 35s I would be pretty happy

    I think i saw 20 once upon a time for one tank. 18 is rare for me to average now. Ive tried to get the best mileage out of a tank but a few miles in i realize it wont ever happen :rofl:

    Hahah Ive tried too but it always turns out to be the same lol. The front bumper doesn't help, great for approach angles but aerodynamics not so much

    Yeah hoping I get mine next week, they said it was on its way to the warehouse but no update after that. You notice a big difference from just the doors and back wall?

    Oh yea, totally worth the money. Quieted down a lot of road noise and made my stereo sound much better. I'm doing the floor to quiet the drone from my exhaust and I'm doing the roof to quiet down my roof rack

    You need different coil overs anyway for LT. Having extended travel coil overs just makes you mid travel :) 8" travel CO for MT versus 12" CO for LT

    I had my skid removed because that's when I swapped my front diff. It might actually be easier to pry your cv out with your skid there because you might be able to rest the pry bar on the edge of it. It gives your pry bar a solid surface to pry from.

    ^^^^That's the most I have ever written the word "pry" in one post.

    good to hear. Really don't like removing the front skid, its been "loved" a little so it takes some "motivation" to get back on
