Did a 260 round trip to the farm to get home place ready for winter for the parental units. Got a ton of work done even with them following me around ! :happy175: But hey I hope when I'm almost 90 and 85 I can even get out of a chair by myself .
NOW ON TO JEEP THING
Found a paper last week where I counted how many times the 03 downshifted on hills down and back with 265-70-16s and 3.73s.
both ways 68 times, this was an average of 3 trips
Counted today with same tires, but 4.10s
both ways 9
Now I know totally unscientific, but I've driven this same road for a lot of years, always run 75 or so on Interstates ( about 200 total, ) 55 or so on two lanes ( 48 miles total ) 5 miles on one lane dirt ( at 25-30 )
So while many variables of course I think its interesting the huge difference gearing makes
