If I really try, the best I get is 23 on the highway going around 67 (the sweet spot). Otherwise, according to the computer (not hand calculated), I usually average around 19.5-20 with mixed driving. I should also note, I regeared to 4.10 gears. Not bad for an overweight Jeep motorhome.

So AEV said that it will work with us who have the low flares, there will just be a gap between the fender and snorkel. It will look better on a high flare, but I like my painted fenders so I have no plans on swapping them. Unless one of you has firecracker high flares that you want to donate to...

Thread chasers will become your best friend on these Gladiators., especially if you need to remove and reinstall any of the seats. Chasers are great when cleaning the nasty loctite from both the male and female threads.

It's been flawless. I could have gone with a 100AH but I am a photographer and I also camp a lot on trees where solar might not work the best, so I went overkill.
Same as mentioned above, go with BCDC. Plus this gives you the option of running solar panels. The BCDC has dual inputs (alternator and solar). For variable voltage alternators, you are required to wire an ignition hot trigger so the BCDC knows the vehicle is running. If I remember right (may be...
And super quality stuff.
I don't have any really good photos, but I built a battery cabinet with teak top and a bench for my Alu-Cab Canopy Camper. I am actually changing it up right now, havent decided just yet what the new configuration will be.
