Nice...

Where do you go hunt at?

 

@Alfred @Krim 559 lmao

 

Here used to be my secret spot but ain't secret anymore too many Jeepers made it up there

Most the time d8 Bakersfield above Lake Isabella

 

Sweet, are you running 37?

What kind of gas mileage do you get on a full tank? In town driving verses traveling to hunting ground?

 

Yeah these 37s ain't do good on gas and I don't pay much attention on m/g I just fill whenever it's low I daily drive my truck 356 d/y

 

If you've got a 4.0 2nd gen, I'm grabbing about 13 on the trails, 14 on the hwy romping at normal speeds, at about 75. That's 260miles a tank on 35s, and 3.73 gearing, in case anyone is wondering.

 

37 with 5.29 should range you about 10~14 miles per gallon. Depends on vehicle weight.

Bchengy, how many gallon is your 2nd gen tank?

 

There's too many jeeps up here..

 

Stock it's 21 gallons, speedo is 5mph faster, every 175 miles I gain 20, that puts me at 195.

Tested my all highway miles today, rolling mostly flat roads, about 65-75mph for a straight 200 miles, got 14.7miles per gallon on unleaded Chevron 87 octane. Fueled at same Chevron and topped it off three clicks everytime.

 

Gross weight is 4900#, 2700#front axles, and 2200# in the rear without driver, standard weight unloaded with armor.
This whole week I've been carrying 2 cases of water, at least 6 firearms, icechest, a tote full of kitchen and camp gear, chainsaw, along with 10 extra gallons of fuel, full set of tools, two air compressors, Hilift, Shovel, 33" spare and such, I'd estimated it at 5800# with two adults and these are the results of my mpg, running truck for hunting non stop since sunday. Logically speaking I should get 270 miles a tank, but I don't like running under a quarter tank (about 230 miles) due to sucking debris and lack of cooling to the fuel pump.




Stock tire size is 265 65 17 = 30.6" 10.4"
New tire size is 315 70 17 = 34.4" 12.4"
30.6/34.4=88.9
1-0.889=.11= 11% off of speedo and actual mileage.
Speedo shows 175 miles, 175x11%=19.2
175+19.2= roundabouts 195miles divided by gallons is 13.2, that's at 14.7 miles per gallon

 

damn, mine sucks then, I only get 12.9-13.9 mpg, with only 33

 

Motor swap !

I'm trying to get a locker in with my gears next.

 

I average 40~45 mpg in city and more on highway.

Let's downsize!

Hahaha

 

If they still make them in that size, I'd jump all over it. Now there's only the molested ones left. Haha

 

<-----this don't count
