too funny, I drive old also, because I qualify.  It seems to get 13-18 with 3.73 gears.   I'm going with 4.88 or higher this summer so I'm sure it will get worse.

Bunch of us have kids.  How old are yours/  8 and 9 girls here.

I have a 3 y.o. boy who loves to ride on the trails.  The wife agreed to go out to Durhamtown so we'll all be camping Friday night.  Hopefully there are some mild trails that they can ride along on.

Do you know if any other families are camping?

Good for you bringing the little one. My Son is 3 also and LOVES anything Jeep related and loves to wheel. Best co-pilot I could ever want!! And as for gears... I just went from 3.73s to 4.88s and the gas mileage is incredibly better with them. Go figure!! {toast}
I've grown tired of this.

The shop I was talking with said the same thing about getting better mileage, i thought they were just trying to sell them.  Can't wait to see the difference.

looking at the tempatures for this weekend my wife and the little co-pilot want to stay home, i think i'll give it a go with the stock gears for now.

I just stuck a big yellow one in mine  at lunch. I look forward to finally seeing my real speed and mileage.

My GPS and my speedo are like 2-3 miles off from each other. I know these screet turs are not true 33's. I bet when I put my Trxus's on it will be about right. All I know is the mileage is a ton better... if I keep it under 60 so the rpms are lower. I will be avoiding the expressways as much as possible, or keep it around 60. :P
