Put normal fenders back on it, take the snorkel off it and be really easy on the throttle. This gladiator is the only vehicle I've ever owned where the cruise control gets better mileage than I can do manually. Also, just for fun, try this...

So you are only getting about 220 miles a tank before the gas light comes on? Does it have a pedal commander installed or something similar?

Pulled mine off and put them in the bolt holder day 1. I haven't touched them since.

oops... good catch.. let me edit that for clarity.

Honestly, if I'm nice to it, I get better mileage around town than I do on the highway, and aero is less of a factor. How heavy are your wheels?

You're in Texas, so I assume you see 75-80 on the daily. That and the little stubby fenders are probably killing your mileage. I have 5.13s and 37s (and a 6spd) and just did a 175 mile round trip this morning. 15.9mpg I don't think 16 is out of your reach, may just take a minute to figure out...

That pivot pin is going to be a hot seller for Benny @AllMoparParts.com Hopefully the retrofit isn't terrible.

Aftermarket fenders are killing what little aero you have with the sport? I'm guessing the sport stays in 6th or 7th most of the time?

If you want one with the harness that stays on the jeep, try this one...

I bought one of the little noco units. The one I bought doesn't have the ability to leave the connector on the jeep permanently (which it sounds like you would want) but they have a ton of options and it's AGM compatible. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W46BX31?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

My stock battery lasted 3 years. The aux started going south so I bypassed it and installed one of the 4 year free replacement AGMs from walmart. 2 years later and it's still going strong. $300 well spent.

After your lithium experiment, what battery did you install? Hard to believe it's already failed.. I'd warranty that thing and try again.

The rev hang can be tuned out, but I think Livernois is the only one who does it (if you ask). Does the heavy flywheel from ACT or centerforce make it easier to live with?

You definitely have the right of that... luckily it was a pretty dry month, so I didn't have to worry about knocking mud out of everything first.

@ShadowsPapa, I think I'd cut bait and sell that sunrider to someone that can use it and buy a premium soft top out of the classifieds... Should be pretty close to a break even, and then you have a solution that you can actually use.

Bone stock M210/M220 on 40's? Absolutely there is a chance. Can you minimize it? yes. Since you said GAS in one of your previous posts, I'm going to assume you have a 3.6 and either 5.13 or 5.38 gearing. The low fenders indicate a 2.72:1 transfercase, so if you are nice on the skinny pedal...

Once you start playing out in the rough stuff, you will almost always want to disconnect once you try it. It really takes a bunch of the head shake out of it. Airing down also helps in the ride quality department. I fought a stock setup once laying in the parking lot trying to get a guy...

Quick disconnects and an air compressor. The disco's keep your tires on the ground, and the compressor allows you to air down at will, and air up when you're done.

Good find! So that explains the funky rear geometry we see. They just slapped that on an M220 and called it a day.

It was the same truck. They renamed it "classic" because they released the new one in 2019. The tooling was paid for so they made both trucks for a few years.
