Really! I am willing to bet you that while hypothetically the statemant is true, the op will never make the nessecary mods, (nor drive correctly) to observe a DRAMATIC increase.
In reality, the answer is NO.
It's a 4x4! so it realisticly cant be lowered. He's not gonna buy LRR tires. Dang sure isnt goint to install a boattail.

Please read post #54. If somebody comes in 'lying' and I factually know it- (driving the exact same roads) then he's going to get his ass called on it.
Nice thing about this site.....we treat all unicorns the same.
The problem w/ a bs-er is that they aren't going to listen because they got away with the bs.
Post #54 makes this pretty clear. To his credit he came back and owned up to his 'exagerations'. I admire his honesty.

But why would we want bs-ers on here claiming all kinds of crap and destrying the integrity of the site.
There are several other 'mpg type' sites where less emphasis is placed on facts and aba testing.

The point about low posts was completely the opposite. LOW POSTERS should watch making generalizations that arent true about their 'noobie' observations about welcoming noobies. (that's the nice thing about posts, you can factually see who is greeting noobies) And none of you have. Not even to say welcome!

I have a great attitude. check my 'thank you' ratio against total posts.

But if you come in with bs or lie. All bets are off.
