Very clean - Did you do transfer case as well? That is often overlooked

That's on my list to do, ran out of time... ;)

Did the front/rear diff fluid change (Royal Purple 75-90) & TC chain swap with double fill (workbench fill, 1qt) of mineral base ATF (50 mile hwy drive to flush the case). Drained and filled to correct level (.5qt) with Mobil 1 Syn ATF.

Saw an improvement in MPG. Driving a full tank over the past 2 weeks (Coppell, Southlake, Plano area), with temps over 100deg F and the AC running, got to 418 miles traveled before the distance to "E" display read "0".

Gotta love V8 power, ice cold air and non-hwy cruising at almost 18mpg.

Replaced the Michelin Latitudes with a set of Pirelli Scorpions. Boy are these tires quiet.

Ooh Good luck with that. Those Pirelli's are known to get noisy after 10K miles.

+1 on the Pirelli Scorpions being noisy when around 1/3 worn (and they get crazy loud worn down near the wear bars).

Had to remove a set from the ex-wifes Jeep GC at around 15k miles.

Removed my JL Audio Stealthbox and put the stock speakerbox back in. :)

LMK if someone wants to buy the Stealthbox!

Mind me asking why did you remove the stealth box and amp? did you not like the outcome of sound?
