        Thanks. Actually, this carbed GW gets about the same mileage that my injected dodge ram used to. I measured it a 12.8mpg highway(with GPS, I know my Odometer is off now), with a 4 inch lift and 32 inch tires. So I guess I cant complain, but a bigger gas tank would be nice.

              Yup, gas gauge works. Rear wiper and AC do not work, and I had to fix the rear power window and a few little things when I first got it, but everything else is pretty good

                    I would love to lift the trailer but I'm having issues on the highway when I tow it. That little trailer is under 3000lbs. but it bullies the wagon like it's a Honda. I had the whole front end done minus frame bushings that I have and still have to install. I thought the sloppy steering issue I had was the cause, but even after replacing everything from the steering shaft on, I am still having problems. I can control it better now but I think its pushing my rear end around and I need to put a rear track bar back in it. Those 32 inch tires are load C rated, maybe that is also a problem

                      If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

                            I absolutely love the Rhino grill and when I bought this truck, It was one of the upgrades I wanted to do. But now the stock grill has grown on me. Also, the fact that you don't see a lot of fsj's and fsj parts in my neck of the woods, enforces that decision
