I just dated myself, didn't I? They haven't used speedo gears in decades, have they?

Beating the 20s in a Cherokee is damned good no matter how you measure it. I'm a big fan of the AMC 4, a big fan of big fours in general and that one in particular even though there isn't a lot of mod support in the aftermarket.

Start a page for your ride. I'm curious to see how it goes along.
Thanks elhigh!

Never heard of a speedo gear haha but a quick search just found one for the Jeep. I'd rather put that money elsewhere in the Jeep tho, just drive a little slower haha.

Yeah I was amazed at the mileage. I think it's only possible from the combination of all the mods it does have, and I have to point out this was a one time 70 mile interstate-only drive from 300 ft elevation to 100 ft, though there were lots of hills. It's kind of a pain in the ass to have the original gearing ratio though, as hills are really hard to climb. I would never want to tow anything with it for now, too little torque which would put undue strain on the transmission. I'll bump up the ratio when I get a limited slip rear differential.

Thanks for the support, how do I start a page?
