you're doing it wrong!
leave daily drivers stock.
modify the project car on the side.
If you make that thing look badass with big tires its gonna kill your mpg... my brothers owned 2 cherokees, granted they were both older (00' and 99) Once he threw a 3 inch lift and 31s on the 00 he was getting about 14mpg, the 99 had a 6 inch lift long arm kit and 33s got ~12mpg lol.

It does come in handy to have an extra vehicle esp an suv to park the stang for a bit esp if you have kids. My car averages like 30+miles a week The suv stayson the road even though it gets worse gas mileage than the car.

I'm a manager for a landscaping company. I also just started my own biz on the side, which is slow right now, but I expected that for the beginning. I have very few bills right now, the mustang is paid off and pretty much done (except for tint I think). Plus V8s aren't selling in the area, so a lot of good deals can be found on them. (That answer your subtle question of "
Where the f*** do you get the money to do all this? hahah!). It helps that I'm out of school and didn't graduate with any debt.
I've never bought a car for gas mileage, haha. But I know what you're saying. I don't have kids, either, so it's just something that can handle more than the mustang.

Yes. It moves. It also has the MDS set-up, so if I'm not beating on it, it's basically a 4 cylinder. The only thing is that the body roll is unbelievable compared to mustang (obviously, haha) so I might look into some suspension stuff...

You know me quite well...lol. That was the most polite way that I could say that! Nice Jeep bro, now do yourself a favor and stick to gas/oil/brakes on the jeep and finish working on that supercharger on the Stang!!!!
