I have a 4 door JK with 3.8 gas engine. I get 14.8 on the Highway and around 12.8 in the city. This is based on 5:13 gears front and rear and 315/75/16 Goodyear MTR's(35"). All numbers are taken from a scan gauge II. My worst fuel milage was on a trail in the Eastern Sierra's. I pulled my...

Where are you located?

:clapsmile Very Cool!! Looking forward to the stories and photographs.

Welcome!! When I looked at your truck I was thinking of this post below. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26204

Oil Changes are a snap. I have 35" tires so I simple slide a 5 gallon bucket under the Jeep. Pull the plug and drain. The oil filter is right up front and since the engine is so far back from the radiator you just reach down and spin off the oil filter. Takes about 15 minutes to change...

Thanks Dave, I am going to take a look the next time I am at the hardware store.

Very Nice!!! I would like to build one. Could you expand on the hardware used. Where you able to source the materials from Home Depot / Ace Hardware? Thanks

Keithro Actually that is how it is attached I have several (19) to be exact. I am using steal flat head cap screws. When the rack was built we installed the threaded inserts all over the place. My problem is if I expand the slots to allow for the expansion of the King Starlite XL I am...

The Deck material is King Starlite XL. This particular piece is 1/2" thick and was 60" wide by 96" long. I like the product but unfortunately it has a large expansion in the sun. If you look closely at the photograph below you will see it bowing in the middle. There is a gap between the...

Keithro wrote Well I finally got around to removing the hardtop. Here are some photographs.

1 vote for the Unimog. We will be heading over from San Diego so a convoy is not likely.

Go to Home Depot and pick up some rebar about 2' long. Use them as stakes. If you want to get really fancy paint them a bright color so you will not loose them in the sand. Also while you are at the Depot pick up a 4" (2'-6" long)diameter PVC pipe and put two end caps on it. This way you...

JPFreek1 wrote Thanks Frank, I need to step it up a bit and finish a few things. Oh and your latest issue looks very impressive. Nice Job!!!

Keithro wrote Yes if I remove the front bar the wind noise is significantly less. The noise actually moves back to the next bar in line. I would still like to make a fairing out of aluminum to see if it would completely eliminate the noise all together.

Wade that set up is really nice. Did you by chance get the front side doors so that you could enclose the awning section to the trailer. Oh and do you have any more photographs.

Photo Help. Upload your photographs to www.photobucket.com it is a free site. Once the are there put them into a designated file like Unimog or Fuso. This will keep the link from breaking if you decide to add or move photographs around inside of photobucket. Hope this helps. I would like to...

Viaterria wrote Hello Greg, Yes they are and you know I was thinking of you when I purchased them. Why you ask!!! They would only sell my the complete bag of 50. They are Hex Socket Cap Screws size 5/16 - 18 x 3/4. Check your size, let me know how many you need and PM your address.

Keithro wrote As sad as it might sound I have never had the hard top off. The easy removal of the T-tops has kept me from removing the whole top. My rack is set up for the hard top to be removed. Below are some photographs of how the cross bars come off. This will allow the hard top to...

The Swiss It made a difference with the noise. Although I now can hear the noise behind me where it hits the rear bars(just a little bit). I actually use the rack pad to eliminate the air going under the front bar. This helps a lot. I also like the front bar removed when I have the T-tops...
