I have an 07 wrangler Sahara with 146k on the odometer. Love it. Have no desire to get a new vehicle. Smiles per gallon not miles per gallon. I’ve got 35s 3” lift and I couldn’t be more happy. Not the best highway rig but when you hit the trails and go camping, it’s so perfect. Fits on any trails. Never let’s me down. Even when broken you can always limp her home.

Yeah their great…love mine too. 35’s are the perfect size. I try to take mine out and camp as much as I can. Yeah not great for mileage but who cares? I drive mine to work everyday…I’ll never get rid of it. Enjoy your rig bro…

I’ve got an 07 2dr JK, 3.8 ltr with 240,000. Rebuilt the front end after developing death wobble at about 180,000, changed out the radiator, then last month replaced the rear main seal. All just regular wear and tear stuff. It’s been a really good jeep. Still driving it, still like it.

I just bought a single owner 2007 4 Door JK Hard Top from an older genetleman. It has 61,000 miles on it and it is the 6 speed manual. Clutch is as smooth as butter. And when I tell you the interior and exterior are flawless, I mean it has no sun fading, no ripped seats, no scratches. Nothing. Its all bone stock too, no lift or bumpers. He sold it to me for $13,000 and I am still p**ping my pants over this needle in a haystack especially for the price. Best thing is that I did not have to go into debt to get a nice Jeep.

I have 2011 identical version, except hardtop. Silver, unlimited, roof rack. I only get 11-12 mpg as well and I have stock front and rear bumpers. 33 inch tires, and 2.5 inch lift. Engine just died a month ago with a little over 150,000 miles on her. She's in the shop now getting a new/rebuilt Jasper engine. I hope she'll be like new after that and give me many many more years of trouble-free service. Thanks for the video. You did a great job keeping yours running and looking great all these years.

@@thomas_tx2a New rebuilt Jasper engine plus labor was just under $10,000. Part of this cost was a new wiring harness and labor for that as well. As of 2 weeks ago, and again today started getting a "hot oil" message and warning chime. Supposedly this means hot transmission oil (not engine oil). Not sure what is wrong yet.

I have an 08 Jeep Rubicon JKU 3.8 liter with the 4 speed auto, factory Dana 44's with 4.10 gears. 35x12.50x17 tires with 3.5" lift. I get 15.5 mpg manually calculated at each fill up. I'm not relying on the dash mileage display, I calculated myself so I know it's legit, MPH also confirmed by GPS and I've got front and rear bumpers, heavy duty hinged tire carrier, winch, etc so it's got some added weight and still gets 15.5 mpg at 65-70 mph. You're better off with the JScan app for tire calibration and trans shift points along with everything else. Shows you your trans, t-case, diff temps, etc. Also allows you to toggle on high idle (1650 RPM) for winching, toggling on electric fan at will, TPMS adjustments, headlight, driving light adjustments and so much more. Best part is it's only $24 for the license fee and it's all yours, works on the fly on your phone. The 3.8 liter isn't a powerhouse by any means, however it's a very reliable conventional OHV pushrod engine. When taken care of they can hit the 300,000 mile mark. Mine is decent with the auto trans, factory 4.10 gearing with the 35's, however I think 4.88's would be ideal with the 3.8, auto and 35's.

At 9:11 you mentioned that you were given a 4.10 gear ratio upgrade. I just bought my first car ever, a 2007 Sahara 2dr with 101k miles. She was very well taken care of, and I've been doing loads of research while I wait for the dealership to finish fixing some small issues we found when combing over the Jeep. The Jeep I just got has this 4.10 gear ratio upgrade, as I've found on the build sheet. She's running 99% stock. What does that gear ratio upgrade do for me that the base one can't?

Great sounds like a nice rig with low miles. About re-gearing, If you do a lot of highway driving on small to mid sized tires, it may be practical to regear to a taller setup to increase your top speed and fuel economy. If you are planning on doing a lot of off-roading or are only upgrading to a larger set of tires, like 35's, you should probably install shorter gears. But if you are running stock tires I think the 4.10's should be fine.

Hey sorry about the late reply. I have 162,000 miles on my 07. Here's a good vid for ya. Also look on the diff cover sometimes there is a tag that will tell you ratio. Or it may be stamped in the diff cover. Otherwise u will have to pop of the diff cover and look on the ring gear and divide teeth. Hey that's a great year. Great base to build on. One upgrade at a time bro. Good luck and I hope this helps. Thx for the comment and visiting the channel... kzitem.info/news/bejne/uKl3rZ-Kj4V1raA

I just stuck with the rubicon express 3 1/2 inch lift…that’s enough for a daily driver… I adjusted the shift points with the 35’s…this made a big difference in mileage… I used the super chips module that plugs into your OBD port…you can adjust the tranny for running larger tires…And it will compensate for whatever gear ratio you have. Other than that… regular fox shocks, nothing special really…it’s a good solid DD, daily driver…hope this helps…

07 with 14k for 11K... I'd buy the fing thing. Valve cover gaskets are 30 bux. A/c needs work or recharge? as long as you're not in the Serengeti, Fix that later...Lockers won't lock? The factory rubi lockers are pretty reliable, wiring, bad switch? I hardly ever use my lockers, Sway bar disconnects. It comes down to what you are going to use your jeep for. Hardcore Rubicon trail runs, or more tame stuff. Overall good price.
