    2nd Gen Bumper Cut and Fuel Economy

    Before I cut the bumper on my 19 Lux did some searching on the impact that it has on gas mileage and found lots of others asking the same thing. No one had ever answered the question on any of the posts, at any website. To me the answer isn't critical as it had to go anyhow, I'm keeping the Lux...

    Poll - Any interest for a Part Time 4WD kit from Marks4WD

    Fuel savings would be the main goal here - curious if anyone else has ever wanted this. I emailed Marks4WD earlier this year and all I was told is that one isn't available (which I already knew from their website). I almost bought one of these kits when I still had my '92 but ultimately, that...

    Poor MPG after carb rebuild

    Hi y'all! I have an '81 FJ60 and last summer he started dieseling after I'd turned off the ignition. It only lasted a second or two. Long story short I did the following things trying to remedy it: *double checked timing *new spark plugs * new fuel pump *ran some BG44 through a tank of gas...

    The cost benefit logic on tires is different?

    Hello, I paid $6.75/gallon at Costco today. I couldn't help but think about the difference between 10 and 11 mpg. My entire life the primary reasons to not inflate beyond the door sticker is due to inconsistent mpg improvements to justify the known expense, excessive tire wear, ride quality...

    Sudden Increase in MPG after being taken to glass shop for repair?? (Did they abuse it?)

    Hey Everyone! This has been bothering me for a while so wanted to get it off my chest and see what you guys think. Maybe a month ago I got a check engine on for P0446 which is an evap issue.

    My average is 11.3 mpg in town, always

    Yes, another MPG thread. Skip if you're bored with these. The difference is mine gets very low fuel economy but is almost completely stock. I only have Dueler AT's in original size and nothing else, no aftermarket roof rack, no lift, I have played with tire pressures and am now at 32-front and...

    TriboTEX

    Hey mudders. Just thought I’d ask for some people to weigh in on this. I’m not one for snake oils or quick fixes. I am not suggesting this is a remedy for any maintenance or getting around fixing a real problem ie head gasket or putting new rings on pistons. I was wondering if this would be...

    Condensation in the 2013 200 series

    Hi all - it's been between 15-25 degrees farenheit in my area and I have noticed an increased amount of condensation in the interior of my 200 series. Particularly, in the front and rear passenger side windows. It's manageable but, noticed it can be a hazard when checking my blind spots. My...
