Post Wheeler/DD/trail rig 1998 XJ
Seems like everyone else is trying, so maybe Ill jump on board.

I've been DDing this rig for the last 6 months easily. On and off before that. It got 19 mpg(true story) going down to TSF last month. Averaged 17.something the whole trip, inc. wheeling. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this rig anywhere, its been VERY reliable and trouble free, like almost any XJ. Around town it gets about 14, although it may do better if I didn't have a heavy foot. It wheels very well and is setup to handle most all the trails in the NW. Ill drive 70 with no vibes, shakes, or lack of power. Trans shifts smooth and starts up every time. Speedo is 4-6 mph fast, but have the right tooth gear that'll go in in the next few days.

There hasn't been much to update. Only thing I left off at was getting the tubes welded and making the intake part of it. If'n I don't sell it, I'll update everything and maybe have the computer side done by then.
