What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

[Labswine]

Well, not today but over the weekend...

Drove her from West Chester, PA to Grayling, MI. 755 miles one way.

Averaged around the mid to upper 25's for mpg. Lowest was 22.3 in upstate MI where the speed limit is 75 mph. The rest of the trip, kept strictly to the 70 mph speed limit and had the mid to upper 25's mpg average. One tank was 26.4 mpg and another (which astonished me) was 27.1 mpg ? Mileage was calculated fill to fill. The trip computer was showing 26.4 mpg most of the trip except for northern MI when it was showing only 22.1 mpg. This is a stone stock Overland edition with now 18,5xx miles on her.

So, if we keep our foot outta it...for the most part except for where speed limits allow and you have to or you get run the hell over, and yeah, even observing the speed limit, I was getting passed like I was standing still but, the PoPo was having a field day ?...again, keep your foot outta it and these trucks get respectable fuel economy.

The mileage on these long bricks is heavily dependent on the prevailing wind direction and hills not to mention speed.

Took it camping this past weekend. Love the RTT, even with heavy winds the James Baroud did not flap around (gusts to 35mph). I had an easy nights sleep.

Also, the Solo Stove is incredible, first time to use it and loved it. No smoke and I didn’t smell like a campfire afterwards. Easy to cook over with tripod. I highly recommend the Solo Stove.

My girlfriend and I did some mountain biking and 15 miles on a rails to trails ride. Wisconsin has some amazing biking opportunities and the mountain biking is really good!

Yeah but, that 27.1 MPG was pretty much eastern Ohio (flat then hilly) and western PA which is very hilly (highest elevation I saw was 2,653 feet above sea level...love the off road pages app ) so I must have had a tail wind during my drive home Driving out to MI, I was getting in the upper 25s mid 26s (calculated fill to fill). It was that stretch of I-75 in MI where the speed limit is 75 mph that my mileage dropped to 22 mpg, both calculated and what was showing in the dash read out.

Went to Tombstone to my favorite brewery and picked up a split case of beer. Fortunately I only live about 16 miles away.

A trip to the strangely named Galactic Core Bay, taking in some vintage Dodge Power wagons on the way. Definite tyre envy!!

Transported a part for my S2000 that I've been putting off ordering for about 14yrs, until I recently found out there's supposedly only a couple of the yellow variants left

Did some moving, towing U-Haul's biggest trailer. Flamma the Max-Tow Sport handled it with aplomb.
