Default Need you opions on MPG for....

I have a 4door Jk with 3inch lift 325/65/18 tires and a XHD front bumper with a 8500 Winch.

What would my MPG be if I got it regeared with 5.13's.

Thank you in advice, I am really looking forward to ur opinions/experience.

There are to many variables to give u accurate numbers. I have read a ton of threads on this, but in the end you either want a bad ass jeep with ok mileage or a stocker with good mileage. I have a friend running close to your setup. He gets from 13 to 17. Depending on the situation.

I think you will get MPG examples from people saying 12 to 20MPG. The regear is still a good idea regardless.

I do not think anyone can give you reliable MPG figures for your rig, since so much depends on how you accelerate, terrain, wind, weight, speed. Do you do stop and go, use long coast to stops or harder braking? If your talking highway, what speeds do you like to cruise?

There must be 100 or more MPG threads.

Such as the one here.

Yeah I am just looking for ball park numbers. But I would have to say that from what I have been reading regearing equals bad ass jeep+good miles cause it actually doesn't struggle as much. Also yhanks for the estimates

Keep them coming....
