And if you want a new head look at Clearwater Heads out of Florida.

What did you do to your TJ today?

That's awesome with your setup.
I'm quite happy considering I'm running 10 gallons extra fuel + 64lbs of water + beer + 36lb Yeti and all the backcountry gear for the Maze over 5 Colorado and Utah mountain passes today. I'm running 1.25" down from normal on my rear springs today.
My last 2 runs from Moab to Home netted 14.7mpg. Camaro Electric Fan + Edelbrock head + extra compression worked great. I'd think without all the extra weight, I'd probably have seen 16.5mpg today.
While short of stroker performance, I was able to stay in 5th in the NV3550 up reasonable grades more than any previous jaunt through the mountains. 3rd kept pulling up to 5000rpm when I needed it to pass on Monarch Pass. I'm still running the stock cam and 1.7 roller rockers.

Quite a coincidence on your second mileage number there, GG. I get 15.4 mptg…
In the Ford or the Jeep? Impressive!
Driving the Jeep or towing it with the Ford, I get 12 in either situation (sometimes better towing depending on the speed). Maybe those extra spark plugs do serve a purpose!
Buddy of mine has a side business embroidering so I had him make me a hat
Also got some gifts for buds

You boys are a little slow on the uptick this morning. Mptg was not a typo...

With the prevalence of both typos and acronyms in today’s world it’s hard to decipher which is more annoying. I guess I’ll be the slow one.
Well, shoot. For once, I thought I got the joke others missed. Unfortunately for me, my interpretation was that t = ten.OK, OK - it was a bit of a stretch...
15.4 mptg - miles per two gallons.

I've had tanks wheelin' where I'm not far off from that...

I at first thought Miles Per Tank of Gas, but I didn’t know where you stood on the calling fuel, gas, situation, because holy hell in some arenas can that piss people off, so I just chose not to assume.
Loaded it up to go wheeling. Headed to Cairo, NY for a little piece of private property with HV4W 
Went wheeling and had a blast. 5 rigs showed up. A JKU shut itself off on the first obstacle then down to 4 and Dave the property owner. I didn’t take pics. Others did.
1st pic is group photo pre-trip then my mirror and me coming down a little step.

I need some help.
I put on a MorRyde reinforced tailgate kit a few weekends ago. I need to make some adjustments. Does anyone know of the torque specs for the 8 bolts that go through the hinges and into the body and the tailgate? I'm looking around and it looks like it is 200 in-lbs (16.7 ft-lbs) and that seems pretty low.
Thanks in advance.

Fresh Redline MTL, now to track down the P0159, have already replaced all the O2 sensors, suspecting a minor exhaust leak.

Not all that exciting for others I’m sure, but I’m happy that I finally finished the glovebox light.

I cussed at my TJ and damned it to hell. It threw more codes than it has gears, it may need a pcm.
