Sucks that the rust belt ate up your Power Wagon.

Rusty

I had it undercoated. But didn't follow through with taking it back in for touch ups. Where it rusted is where the front tire throws up a **** load of rocks.

old guy

Since the old power wagon rusted, are you considering an under coating on this one?

Have an appointment next week with Ziebart for undercoat. Planning on following through with the touch ups. Going in for LineX bed liner too.

Do you have those new 40s on your Jeep yet?

Rusty

To run 40's. I would install a set of Dana 60's under it just to be on the safe side.

Maannnn! Love that jeep! Hey, how was your mileage on your trip out west last month? Was that diesel pumping out 30 mpg highway?

Rusty

At times, I was seeing 30+mpg. Overall avg was 26.9 mpg for 4,200 miles. Had the cruise set for 5 mph over the speed limit. Speed limits was from 65 to 80. Hate Kansas. Got my worst mileage there. It dropped to 20.7 mpg. I've taken the Z, Grand Cherokee, Power Wagon, and motorhome across Kansas a number of times. And they each got their worst mileage in that state every time. Doesn't matter if I'm going east to west, or the other way.

Zingston

Kansas aye? That's odd. Well there's always 80 or 40 next time to avoid Kansas... and you know, get better mileage.

Rusty

I've taken I70, RT24, and Rt 36 across Kansas. Same results.

I'll take I80 if I'm going to Wy, or north part of Co. Then to Denver. Rt40 just takes too long time wise.

Rusty

Some up-dates on the Z. Finally had to put a new battery in it. The oem battery lasted 12 years. I put in an Odyssey battery. After I removed the oem battery. I cleaned everything up under it.
