4.0L HO, ax-15 5-speed, 4.10 gears, 33" MT/R's, electric fan, ditched the cat and added a hi-flow muffler, just weighed the jeep at 1820kilograms with me in it and half a tank of fuel, full hard doors and hard-top installed... and no im not really fat. but i figure i get about 500kms to a 72litre tank.
the muffler helped a lot, the electric fan helped a lot as well. i dont have a fancy intake or TB yet. eventually would like to get the newer style intake manifold, a hesco 68mm TB and a hi flow intake. maybe a chip and bigger injectors... apparently Uni-chip has a new plug in computer for the 4.0L that can be tunable. and painless wiring is designing a stand alone fuel managment system.

4.0L w/ 2.5" Exhaust, Dynomax Muffler, MSD 6.A Digital Ignition, MSD Blaster Coil, MSD 8.5mm Plug Wires, Bosch Platinum Split Plugs, K&N FIPK, 62mm Throttle Body, 31" lift and running 245/16's.  Just put in 71.67L (really rean it dry) and there where 388.4km on the od.  Wow, my mileage sucks for a 4.0L, then again, I let it warm up forabout 5-10mins in -20...

OK then.  So I took out the 28" blocks and 28" coil spacers (jackasses)  :roll: , so I'm at around 3" of lift w/ 31's that measure around 29".  The mileage seems to have improved this tank.  I'm at 360km and still have 1/8th of a tank left.

If I were to run my tank dry, be getting almost 500kms out of 60L of gas.  Is that reasonable :?:
