My short WB diesel transit got 24 mpg when it was stock and partly built out. Now, with 2” lift and part time 4WD and bigger AT tires and 1100 lbs or so of fully built out crap, 21-22 typical tank (mostly hiway).
The modern vans are efficient but then people throw on roof racks and shit and aerodynamics get worse.

Quite pleased with my first catch I must say...

The red handle is the Hi-Lift jack handle.Quote:

Ha. Should know better, my FIL is way into jeeping and probably has one of these mounted somewhere on his...Quote:

So you can remove the hard top.Quote:

I assumed all that shit went on a roof rack that mounted directly to the hard top. Looks like a real chore to get top off with that contraption around it. Only ever seen them on soft tops before. Live and learn.
So jeepers enlighten me...
What the heck is this on the door?

Hinge step. Part of it folds down for roof gotos access.
When you run out of things to bolt to your Jeep, the Jeep elves design more stuff.
Wall mounted bottle opener? The tops fall into the hole...
This is a few years old. Among other things, there’s a box of firewood up there and a skinny Thule box

But that rear cargo is full. And now you have a nice seat bench to put on ski boots or just chill.

Got one, a sportmobile.
You know they spent a good amount of time getting the right rotation on the traction ladders before posting to InstagramQuote:

2 personalized plates too. That’s unique.
Quadruple points!
Patriot Campers? Combat Crawler? I think this one won the multiplier, gets to lay down a card and a earned an extra ball.Quote:

9 points
- D-handle, wood shaft shovel (2)
- Hi-Lift
- awning
- roof box (maybe something in it)
- ladder
- garbage bag
- bike rack
- metal box
- there is a spot for a gas can, by the ladder, but it wasn’t there. De-gotos’d.
^^^ I think I see a solar panel and maybe a rear facing LED light bar up on that roof too.
Mark it 11. Thx dood.Quote:

I don’t know. The trailer in telee’s find should serve as some sort of multiplier. It’d be different if it was stand-alone.Quote:
