    Welcome, nickels, to the forum and congratulations on your purchase. That's a mighty fine looking Mirage. I'm certain you will enjoy it. I love mine.

    I am going to present myself with an Ultra Gauge for Christmas, but it is essentially the same as a Scangauge.

    That was me. I remember the username MetroMPG

    Also what are we running for real-time fuel monitoring? I see a $100 fuel scan gauge, a $250 all in scan gauge...

    Help haha
    I use OBDLink LX Bluetooth. Cheaper and pretty flexible.

    But a blast to drive.

    I didn't know Wranglers still got four speed transmissions. I thought four speeds went out in the 1980s.

    1000 pounds of armor?? What for?

    6MT with 3.21 gears and 35” tires means it can’t hold highway in 5th. 2nd gear reds at 140kmh...

    What for you ask? Humping rocks.

    Was this on teamswift?? I have to say as spectacular as it sounds, I don't remember that story!

    There are a bunch of old teamswift members here, and geometroforum people of course.
