So when you going to trade it in? When its at like 5k? ;)

Maybe. If I find a 4 door.

I took the top off yesterday when I left work to go to a meeting and as I was driving to the meeting I started to see it get darker. Well when I got to the meeting it started to rain a little. Since it is the summer if it rains it does it for all of 12 seconds so nothing got wet although the interior and exterior are absolutely filthy because of all the dirt that got kicked up. So I am off to clean it now.

And for those wondering about gas mileage versus the F150, here is the story. I am getting around 275 miles per tank on the jeep or right around 17 MPG mixed with no doors on. It cost me about $55 to fill it up and it lasts me the week or just under depending on what I do on my days off. The F150 was $100 to fill up, I was getting around 320 miles per tank and was at about 13 MPG. So it is a gain and I will get better mileage with the doors on it has just been super hot and nice out so I have no desire to put them on. I have 2200 miles on it and about 300 are with the doors and the rest are doorless.

I'll post a picture in a bit.

Here they are. I got my plates in the mail the other day I just haven't had time to put them on yet with working so much. Actually just took them out of the mailbox tonight after 2 or 3 days. lol

98liftedranger 08-17-2012 09:22 PM

Looks good man!

98liftedranger 08-17-2012 10:13 PM

Thanks Adam2!

Looks good. It never made sense to me why they put such small tires on those stock. Especially the newer ones with the wider fenders, they just look out of place and almost goofy.

Yup. We had this conversation a few pages back and I can't figure it out either. Whatever, they will come off soon enough.

99DangerRanger 08-17-2012 10:38 PM

Yea. I think just a small lift and 35s with flat fenders look perfect. Anything bigger and it becomes even more impractical.

98liftedranger 08-17-2012 10:40 PM

Plans are a 3" lift, bumpers, 35's and gears. Not sure if I will get flat fenders or not. Depends how stuffed the tires are.

99offroadrngr 08-17-2012 10:43 PM

your pictures are almost as bad as dj's were lul

looks good

98liftedranger 08-17-2012 10:49 PM

Yeah and the flash makes it worse. Nikon here I come.

Mcleary316 08-17-2012 11:46 PM

Or just wait for the new iPhone next month. Betcha it has a better camera!

98liftedranger 08-17-2012 11:48 PM

Yeah and a nikon would still be cheaper.

so true

Mcleary316 08-18-2012 12:00 AM

Well only if you aren't due for an upgrade.

98liftedranger 08-18-2012 08:28 AM

Look into it. It is still going to be super expensive with an upgrade. Well into the $700 range and I have no need for a new one as I got my 4 as soon as the 4s came out so its a little under a year old. I am perfectly happy with it.

Mcleary316 08-18-2012 09:33 AM

$700?... Get the Nikon lol

98liftedranger 08-18-2012 09:41 AM

Thanks mom.
