new stuff on Jeep
can't always be messing with the bikes. here's my Jeep with her new rims and tires. no lift because it remains a daily driver. 100 mile commute each day 50 each way.

How is the mileage treating you with that much of a commute?

I didn't realize that was the new body style/engine/transmission. That is much more manageable. |

Still think they should drop the 3.0L Diesel they had in the GC in there... That would be a decent set up. |
