Long time no update

New parts installed:

Front end skid plate from Rusty's Offroad
Lower Control Arm skid plates
Cold Air Intake, also from Rusty's. Filter is made by AirRaid
1" Throttle body spacer, also from Rusty's. Folks say it doesn't do anything for power and fuel economy, but it was free with the air intake kit
I replaced the cheapo fuel injectors from Ebay with brand new ones from RockAuto. The used ones started crapping out and the #4 one stopped working completely.
I also cleaned the throttle body and Idle Air Control valve (it was really dirty!) and idle is much smoother now

I'll try and get pics of the new skid plates and engine parts to show you guys

Got some new MPG readings!

High traffic, "inner city" driving: 14 mpg
Normal city driving in the suburbs: 15.5 mpg
Cruising at 60-65 mph: 24 mpg
Cruising at 75-80 mph: 21 mpg

Getting a lot better!!
