TIP FOR HOOD FLUTTER: remove the coil spring from the underside of the hood. The spring is too stiff and pushes the hood up enabling flutter. My flutter is gone... stock latches

Because deep down in places you rarely visit and hardly speak of, you want a Jeep (Wrangler).

[@ericksantiago8943]

Simply means that you will get one someday. I used to have a a 1994 Wrangler and there were certainly no luxuries in those Jeep...no a/c, zippered windows and all, but enjoyed it no the less. I grew up, owned multiple cars and SUVs and still loved those days of having a simple vehicle. Times have changed...I just purchased another a used Jeep as a second car but now more grown up...2013 Jeep Rubicon is such a contrast from my previous one, even have heated seats. Definitely a cool factor driving around the Jeep. I’m just now getting used the “Jeep wave” when other Jeep owners drive by and throw out the hand or peace sign. I never got that in my BMW even with the top down.

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing. I realize more than ever I am in love with the look of the Jeep because I dont go off-roading at all. I dont go camping or any serious outdoor activities. I think I probably got great gas mileage on my Liberty because I only drove it to work and back and just driving in the city. Didnt keep a lot of stuff in the trunk either. It makes no sense for me to like a Jeep Wrangler but I do and my Liberty served me well for 12 years. My dream car is a Wrangler Sahara.

[@elkanpolston9769]

07 JKU Sahara 3.8L 98K miles with a soft top, 3.5" lift with 35x12.5x20 E rated tires (I know, 20" is a no no. I didn't put them on her). Steel aftermarket front and rear bumpers with 9500# winch, and bumper mount spare tire carrier with full size spare. Pretty sure it still has the factory 4.10 gears (I intend to fix that). I've only had her for a couple of months and she got 13 MPG when I got her. I aired up the tires to 35psi and bought a SuperChips Flaspaq. The speedo had already been re-calibrated, so I flashed in the 87 octane tune and am now getting 16-16.5 calculated MPG. (Dash says 17.7-18.6)

[@Spritsailor]

Two things work: high octane gas and synthetic oil. My '16 Wrangler 2 door gets 20.4 MPG on the highway as result.

[@bandboffroad5743]

I would like to add keeping up on the maintenance. A dirty air filter or M.A.S can really hurt your mileage. Also seafoam does a good job of cleaning injectors and fuel system. The spark plugs at around 90,000 or a good thing to do to. Thanks for the great video.

Great info from somebody who knows from real world experience!

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

One of the benefits for the spare tire is when someone rear ends you. The spare acts like a boat bumper and prevents your body from being damaged. That's if they are not going to fast that is. I've been hit twice but at low speeds. No damage to my Wrangler. Their vehicle's front end were history, but I do understand about the weight and fuel economy. I just took out the rear seats so that's some weight off the Jeep.

[@danielq.4371]

Thanks for the vid! Any specific tips for manual transmission?

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Only filling up with Ethanol free gas was a big one for me, even without using my flashpaq tuner in tandum. While the cost is a little higher than using garbage gas, the extra 50 or so kms per fill up I get makes up for it, and the fact that it runs a lot better & cleaner is an even bigger advantage. Its easily the best "mod" I did. How you drive also plays a roll. I've never had a fuel efficient vehicle, but consistent throttle use, smooth acceleration, etc is just as helpful with a Jeep as it is on anything else.

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video, thank you!

[@jasons.4062]

Thanks for the tips Ben, I definitely plan on checking out the throttle response.

[@StrmlessWolf]

Spot on! Imperative to have a plan on what you want to do with your Jeep. I think the best advice you gave is tire and wheel combo. Definitely doing the hood latches soon👍🏻. Good job, mang🤙

[@cconnon1912]

If you’re going to spend let’s say $5000 on a wheel and tire package to lose some weight. It’s not worth it. Say you increase mpg of 10%. (Higher than realistic) If you’re spending $120 a month in gas, it will take over 17 years to just break even. So please think about this in marathon terms. Heavy duty bumpers, rock sliders and a winch will all more than out do whatever savings you have an expensive options to lighten your vehicle. If you want expensive bigger wheels and tires or any other options do it. 😇 But be a really rustic about the math. 😂

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Yeah I would say for those that can't re-gear , like those that might have a Cherokee Trailhawk like I do, if you want to get the correct "throttle feel" back , then choosing one of the tow or sport modes from a throttle controller will help the Jeep have the correct "feel".

[@appleandroidhacker3869]

The super chips flash paq. Is the best upgrade u can get driving wise. The car is faster then stock on 35’s with stock gear ratio. And mpg has went up 3mpg

I got 20 mpg once, but I was towing another jeep with my jku. Makes no damn aense

[@christiangarvin7351]

Think I'm getting 22 24 mpg just driving round town?

Its all about how fast you speed up

[@claudiofiornascente3716]

My 99 TJ gets like 10 all the time buy my mom's 89 XJ gets like 15 town and 18 highway same engine All I can think is it's the transmission.

Hey Ben, I enjoy watching your videos. I mentioned doing a video on the A pillar duel gauge pod a while back and you said you were thinking about doing that.....any chance you could do that one sometime this year or after the 1st of next year?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Remind me again which system you are talking about? I just did a switch pod system on the overhead

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Oh your talking about actual gauges. I still don’t know what gauges I would put there so not really sure if I will get around to it

[@garysumner6032]

Oil gauge and voltage gauge

I removed my backseats and hardtop to save weight, makes a big difference in mpg and acceleration

[@JK-dh9sz]

[@OOOHBILLY]

What about a diesel swap? Sure it weighs more but is there enough gain to be worth it?
