  1. Exhaust note when uncorked.

    Nice! Post the dyno graph? 0-60? Need a cold start vid. Did you leave anything in the exhaust or straight pipe it out the back? As above, I'm also curious about backpressure loss. I've gotten curious where the choke points are with the ecoD because it seems obvious it has serious breathing...
  2. Lease ending in 2 months, thinking about upgrading

    Have you checked CarGurus and other outlets in your area for the used Rubicon you want? I'm not completely familiar with lease trade ins or if it's only advantageous to work w your dealer.
  3. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    It's interesting how this method absolutely blows away the factory estimates. I didn't get the size of your tires. I'm on factory 33" falkens. At some point I'll put the 37 KO2s back on and see how this method does with them. I drove a buddy's identical setup to mine but with 4.56s and thought...
  4. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Filled up at about 2/5. Truck did not like the "Performance Shot" (2oz) of the diesel additive (as shown by the drop in mileage and lackluster performance) and was in regen a few times.
  5. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    I think this is great and exactly what I was expecting when I ordered a diesel.
  6. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Now that I've decided to make my jeeps antics public it's begun to straighten up its act and fly right, lol. Hand calc was within one mile of the Jeeps combined projected range. Pretty good I'd say. This last fill up was roughly half a tank. Within that half tankful there were persistent regens...
  7. What is your lowest MPG with the Diesel?

    Mid to high 16s pretune with a fair amount of off-roading sprinkled in. Factory gears and 37-in ko2s
  8. Ford Losing Billions on EV’s

    $1.7 trillion covers a lot of losses while you impose a political agenda.
  9. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Three and a half inch lift, 37-in ko2s. I don't have an eighth gear fetish. I rented a jlu-r last year with 35 inch ko2s and noticed that the transmission like to over downshift by a gear or two which was remedied by upshifting to something that wasn't screaming the 3.6 when it wasn't necessary...
  10. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Hand calc: 20.53 Truck calc: 21.42 though avg is right on at 20.5 Normal conservative combined driving. Maybe one regen.
  11. Whatcha Sippin On?

    I think this stuff is bipolar. (Can't be me, nope.) Last night- cough syrup. This evening- not too bad, neat. This will be my last bottle though.
  12. Dead Gladiator; Need Advice

    Not all heroes wear capes.
  13. Dead Gladiator; Need Advice

    TL;Dr. Can you sum it up?
  14. What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

    We went sailing! (Well the Jeep watched from shore.) Forecast called for southerly winds so the plan was to put in at Gilbert Park in Mount Dora and sail an easy 30-45 min westerly beam reach (perpendicular to wind) to Waterfront Park in Tavares, (5.5mi) grab lunch, then sail back. Actual...
  15. Whatcha Sippin On?

    Round 3 with the Laphroaig this time accompanied with a cigar and the smoke flavor (which to me is more like cough syrup flavor) has really tamed down. I will say it comes across as lighter bodied than the Macallan or Glenlivet. I'll try it neat next time and see where that goes.
  16. 3.5 Lift Kit RC or Skyjacker

    My 3.5" Skyjacker lift has given me 20k+trouble free miles. I added a front track bar, rear ¾" spacers, and driveshaft carrier spacer and I'm happy. Also the lift is for gas and mines a diesel as I wanted the suspension to be more dynamic for trail riding. Whether the latter is or not I don't...
  17. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Having never owned a gas JT, I may be looking at this from a grass is greener on the other side of the fence perspective, but I bought the diesel for gas mileage, performance, tunability for more performance, and the novelty of a diesel. So far I feel it's fallen short of the first three to the...
  18. Whatcha Sippin On?

    The closest I've gotten to sweets with Scotch is some Ghardellis chocolate squares. Have you done their sherry cask? I've been through a bottle of both and think it's a notch above.
