what octane was your 100%, can only get 93octane without ethanol here.

@steffen707

Ethanol free 87 octane is easily found in my area (Oklahoma City Metro), for 93 octane you have to know your local filling stations. I only use 87 octane with the Jeep 3.6, any higher is waste in my opinion. I do use the ethanol free 93 octane for all my 2-stroke pre mix fuel. When I cross the state line in any direction ethanol free is a difficult too nonexistence to find.

Edit: also to fill up with 87 ethanol free is about $2-$3 difference, have not compared prices for the 93.

We're back!

I got the elite. I ordered through their eBay store and didn’t know there was a plus. I don’t know the difference between the two.

Thanks for the Link - I'll end up with a set on mine.

@steffen707 looks like the only difference between the Plus and Elite is that the Elite comes with Stainless Steel gas springs (5 yr warranty) vs the black ecoated (4 yr warranty) for the Plus.

Thanks Jay. This is a daily stop for me, love seeing what everyone is doing to their Jeep.

Can we beg that this one stays open in perpetuity so we can go back easily for reference when other people influence us spend money?

Yes of course, these threads are all meant to stay open for all time.

That's the same findings i came up with. I prefer the all black......also their kit is VERY minimalistic. 2 mounts, 1 strut, others have like 6 brackets. BLAH!

DAMN that's cool. our 87 has 10% in it, 93 at most stations is listed as non-ethanol. I only run 93 non-ethanol in any motor i have smaller than a car.

was wondering where this thread went. Monday i had the bumper put on (RC full width LED) and 2.5" leveling kit with shocks and springs too. I wasn't planning on it initially but figured what the heck. I'll probably wait until these 33" wear out before going to 35" though.

Added 35s and new wheels without a lift, which I kind of like not raising the center of gravity and further decreasing MPG.

no. sorry I don't

Great wheels. Looks good with 35s.
