Mine took a few cycles before it climbed back up, but it's still not great.
OP
That's similar to my experience but I didn't get any MPG improvement when I pulled the OE O2s and replaced them with NGKs. I checked my plugs next and they were roached. I replaced them and MPG went from 11 MPG to 14-15 MPG.I used to get 15 when I bought the jeep. Still got around 14 avg when I rebuilt the motor, but it deteriorated pretty quickly. I now get around 11Hopefully this bumps me up a tad
A few drive cycles, but my mpg went up maybe 2 miles per gallon. I still barely got 14mpg so I stopped tracking.

All this talk makes me feel better about my bad gas mileage. I don’t even calculate it anymore because it hurts
I barely drive mine anymore. Commute in with my wife in the Compass these days. It averages 28 mpg.
OP
The build has been put on pause because Im trying to buy a daily due to the price of gas. Looking forward to 35-40mpg in a Nissan Versa. This was an attempt to gain a few mpg back so I stop maxing out the pumps everytime I fill up

Any build plans for the versa. Maybe a sway lock and some tuned foxes for a better ride with all the time on the street?
I thought about doing that the last time gas prices spiked, but I can buy a lot of gas for what another vehicle is going to cost me.
OP
Ive needed another vehicle for a while. The jeep is not practical at all to daily drive for me. Selling it is not going to happen. building my credit score, get better MPG, and have a comfortable daily is a win for me
OP
K/N intake, Carbon fiber wing, and a hell of an ego if anyone asks how fast it is😂
I daily my LJ, 30 miles each way, but, full disclosure, I do have the wife's Ford Edge for trips, and I have a Harley I can take when the mood strikes.
OP
Thanks to @Alex01, Was able to finally get a straight tie rod, correct my allignment, and do the tie rod flip!
No more wonky steering wheel!😂

Looks like you could use a bit more anti-seize on the driver side of the tierod.
Happy to help.

Been a while, havent done much. Ive been trying to track down the 3 evap codes ive for over a few months now lol. Ended up doing a smoke test and found a huge crack in the rear breather. I finnaly bought the savvy gts from @02GreenTJ and he gave me his old tank with good lines. Once we put that in, i still had the P0456 that i couldnt find... ended up being the main hose on the bottom of the evap canister. No more engine codes!!
OP
First time having the sound deadened full doors with the soft top. Its amazingly quiet. Love the look too.
Some savvy sliders are hopefully in my "near" future
