Ooof my poor mileage. This combo only added 10 lbs per corner but early results are terrible. And it's loudddd over 50 mph. On a plus note, the speedo is damn near perfect, off 1 mph low at 65.
That wouldn't be too bad. I think I'm closer to 3 hwy, 5 city for a drop. Went from 79 to 89 lb.
Iā€™m sorry to hear the results were that severe. I dig the blue lug nuts on your truck.

Oh well, I love how it looks and it still takes less than a gallon a day to commute. On my big upcoming trip it's only like a $200 fuel difference.

I'm still on the fence because I usually drive in Eco which really makes the throttle lazy and I'm fine with that even, but I wanted to read through some of their posts.
Sounds crazy - but I get better mileage when using the booster, and I'm normally on Sport 7. I'm not the first person to report this, either. Also, people I know with PC report better mileage as well. Not anything great mind you, but not worse which is all that matters to me.

She's finally free from Dirt Mountain! 567 days from reservation, 370 days from order, 176 days from blend.

She arrived with 70 miles on the ODO. I inspected using @cat's checklist. Flawless except the tiniest bit of snakeskin on the passenger front panel.

First impressions are the gearing is a tad high, 6th isn't too useful. Mileage drops off a cliff over 60mph. I averaged right at 18mpg on the 350 miles home, with speeds between 60-75.

The Sirius selection sucks. The base speakers are not impressive but they're not as terrible as expected from other's reviews.

The ASS doesn't bother me, it stays running with the clutch depressed and restarts plenty quick enough if I'm in neutral with clutch out.

It took a minute to get the seat adjusted but it's quite comfy when it's there. The lumbar is going to be a sweaty spot though.

The headlights are nice and bright, night driving didn't bother me as much as usual. The auto dimming worked perfectly, I like that feature.

I'm leaving the nannies enabled, they didn't bother me at all.

The "analog" speedo is dumb and a waste of space. Never even look at it. The bar tach works fine.

Stay tune for mods, although they're going to minimal because this thing rocks right out of the box.

176 days from Blend?!?! That's depressing...

My blend date was 7 days ago...

It's not normal at least. As long as yours didn't go to Ice Mountain it should be a much quicker delivery.

That Jeep looks sad, and possibly broken.
It's actually pretty nice and taken care of. No lift at all. I parked closer to the camera to force the perspective too.

Looks like my house except the colors are reversed. My wife has the blue Jeep and I have the Orange Bronco.

I installed a USB port up on the dash last night. Not super fun.

Popped the glove box open to fish the cable and this fell out. They were planning to do a 5k ADM at some point.

Went ahead and bought the Granger ESP today. Out of pocket was $1955 for 8/125.

I have a separate thread going but I'm working on adding a grab handle to aid rear seat entry. A 2017 F150 donated it so the match is perfect.
