Yikes. Around my area, the difference between regular and premium is usually $1/gallon. I get the "if you can afford the 70k car you can afford the fuel" comments people always make, but man, its steep. In the Chicago area, we are talking ~$4 vs ~$5/gallon. i haven't put premium in anything...

What octane are you doing this with and if you have varied have you noticed any differences?

Hah....soy based wiring...appartently, not just Toyota. https://www.howtopreventratsfromeatingcarwires.com/2017/02/10/does-your-car-have-soy-based-wiring/

Congrats! Just curious what was the driving force of this verus the Land Cruiser for you....

33 x 10.5's and a 3" lift is not a Jeep with 40's that gets trailered everywhere and can't drive in a straight line. In fact, I think it drove better with the upgrades I had - RTE springs, castor corrected radius arms, trailing links, a-arm extension and GASP! SHOCK! Rancho adjustable shocks...

Yeah...I found that one. I was the "east" part of the challenge. I looked and looked but could not find the big debate thread I was in. I think it is in the private section now that I don't have access to. I think I did at one point,

I just saw that you have a Disco 2...nevermind!

I did a 3" lift on my first disco and wrote up articles on that are still out there on the old Discoweb tech section. For reference: If you want to keep your sway bars: Sway Bar Disconnects: https://discoweb.org/oldsite/disconnects/index.htm In the suspenion install below, it also shows...
