Surprisingly all these mods seem to have made a big difference. There is a hill I coast down sometimes. I usually only stay the same speed or gain 3-4 mph. Today I gained 10-12 mph going down the...

2008 Toyota Sequoia

I bought another car! Sequoias are definitely not the most economical vehicles... but I needed something that is capable of towing ~7500 lbs. I always thought that Sequoias get terrible mpg, but my...

So I Bought a Mobile Tiny Home

You might remember that I was looking for an RV for my wife's business. We bought a tiny home instead because it was actually much cheaper!

I attached some pictures. What aero mods should I make?...

I'm not sure. A lot of other Jeep owners have done the TDI conversion, but they report mpg to be in the 30s. However, none of the builds were eco minded and the ZJ is already a lot more aerodynamic...

I bought a TDI!

I was very lucky to find a 2003 Jetta TDI a few weeks ago. It has quite a few problems (like 8 check engine codes :cool: and a bad ball joint), but I bought it for a project down the road a bit. I am...

My wife now thinks a shorter 3000 lb trailer would work for her business, so my Jeep can tow that. That saves on buying an extra vehicle!

Yes, and I would guess that the new Jeep wranglers have actually gotten worse because they are so much larger now, but with many of the same features.
