What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[eyekode]

i doubt youre seeing 4-6mpg swings off your mpg gauge, and i doubt its 3 low one tank and 2 high the next. It’s probably more consistent than that.

what do you do to ensure your odometer is completely accurate?

ill do another hand calc if it satisfies you; but the 4mpg jump i had from the pulsar and intake wasnt just instrumentation.

ive never tested it; but i wonder if inaccuracy would increase based on high injector load in open loop tables vice closed loop.

At least on my vehicles the computers always overestimate mpg. And the % off is consistent between fill ups. Not sure why.

As for odometer accuracy: comparing speedo to gps speed is the easiest method. Can also compare gps distance traveled to the odometer distance.

and that is more or less my point i guess. even if its “off” its going to be off (typically) consistently. So if was 17 before and 21 after when the gauge showed 18 and 22, what difference does it make

i dont think so, unless you have recalibrated for your tire size stock, since they over state the tire size from stock and youre off by about 3% anyway. I dont know of plugging yoir phone in constantly corrects the odometer or not.

are wrx’s still blowing #4 ringlands or did they get that sorted?

I wasnt saying your number is "wrong". Just that it isn't easy to compare with other users numbers unless they are calculating the same way. You know: your milage may vary.

As for the WRX: unmodified they are quite reliable. But it is rare to find an unmodified one!

oh i didnt necessarily think you were. Its academic to me.

thats good. I had enough subaru’s to know messing with them is a surefire way to burning oil or worse.

Being old folk here, I’ve own several vehicles in my life. From a 69 Gran Torino 428 Cobra Jet, Hummer H2 and a Corvette Z06 coupe. My father gave me an old Buick Estate wagon with a 455 in it when I was 16. He said it might get horrible gas mileage but if you like driving it you’ll keep putting gas in it no matter what mileage it gets. Holds true today. I bought mine for the utility not the gas mileage. Besides, Jeep is synonymous with jerry cans and roto packs just like my Gran Torino and Corvette were with a lead foot. Ahhhhh. The good ole days.

Do you have a link? I looked and saw Rubicon only... i have an Overland as well. Also considering the American Adventure Labs too. Yeah i have a link for it. I really like the quake because they are in Denver which is an hour away from me and they had them is stock but American adventure lab had them on back log. https://quakeled.com/jeep-wrangler-...chback-turn-signal-and-side-marker-light.html That’s the website link.

Yeah here are some pictures of the inner fender.

Paid it off

Same!! Congrats

Same!! Congrats

Did the same 3 months ago. Love not having a car note each month.

Changed the filter in the mopar intake from KN to AFE Pro Guard 7 cone filter.

 

[JWest]

Added Core 4X4 upper and lower control arms. Also added a Core 4X4 adjustable track bar. Since everything was already disassembled I also installed the track bar brace by Synergy.

Here's another fun display option I found.

If you have a Tazer chip, it will turn on your rear view camera when you use the turn signal. It's nice to use the backup camera when driving and changing lanes, so those little guys don't sneak up in your blind spot.

To set it, just go to the audio setting on your cluster dash. Press the left button on your steering wheel and tap the cruise control cancel button, which will go through the Tazer menu. When you find the TurnCam menu, press the cruise control center button to turn it on. Pretty cool option.

There are a lot of other options with the Tazer, like the light show. If you are an emergency responder, the light show has a lot of display options that will definitely get people's attention, when you're driving.

That is a cool option! I didn't realize the tazer could do that. I find the rear camera buggy. I can always turn it on from controls->rear view camera. But the dedicated button doesn't always work. Odd.

@JWest what differential protector is that? I am in the market for front and rear diff protectors.

Rancho Rockgear differential skid plates. Along with Rock Hard 4x4 control arm skids. The Rock Hard skids arrived black. I paint them red. Not really necessary but what the heck.
