    Any chance you could disclose the MPG your pulling with those 33's and the lift and such?

    Your pics just about just made me change my mind on leaving my VX stock.

    Numba1goalie....

    I can only give you an approximation.....

    I put the wheels and rims on at 12800 miles ( yea..on a 1999!)...

    ..and I have still only JUST gone over 13000.

    I did a 160 mile run on Sunday...mostly freeway.

    I think I got about 12 MPG....but have not filled up yet.

    I'm still on "British" gas price comparison...even after being here 15 years!

    I really dont care....my other ride gets 8 mpg!

    Thankfully , I only do about 5000 a year between two vehicles....
    ...Oh the JOY of working from home!

    Hope this helps...

    Well it helps. But I was wishing and praying you were pulling like 17-18MPG. but oh well. I am still liking it and I think I might do the same thing as far as lift and tires.

    Any sign of wear on your CV boots or CV?

    Numba1goalie ....

    Within the first 30 miles after the lift...drivers side CV boot ruptured!

    My "DD" & the input I got said that this happens cause the boots get "used' to a given angle..

    I've replaced it , and so far , so good...but a front drop (1.5 inches) is not out of the question.

    I'm on a steep learning curve here!
