Default What should be tire pressure for my 99 DII?

Hi all,

I wasn't sure how to read the manual when it comes to tire pressure for my DII. I thought you guys could help me out!

My tires are Wrangler, size 165/55 16. I hope this helps and look forward to hearing back. I have them both at 35 now and hope that is atleast somewhere in the right range.

Thanks,
Kari

What does the air pressure sticker say on the inside of the drivers door jam?

What kind of tires you have is not relavent, like Mike said, check the sticker on the drivers door jam.

Thanks for your help - I will check the sticker on the door.

Also, I think my MPG is really crappy. I get around 300 miles TOTAL from a full tank. I put in about $70 worth of fuel each time I fill up since I use premium.

Two questions: 1. Is my MPG so bad because I am doing all city driving or do I need to get some things fixed on the DII?
and 2. Do I HAVE to use premium? Some friends who have lexus' told me that the Lexus is supposed to take premium and they always use regular and it's run just fine.Do people use regular and it still runs alright?

I don't have a ton of money to fix things up right now and have been living with this MPG since I got the car about 8 months ago but it'd be great if it ran better!

Thanks again,
Kari

Default Would anyone want a used brushguard off a 99 DII?

Also, someone backed up into my DII a few weeks ago and the brushguard has just a tiny dent in it. Do you guys know if anyone ever buys something like a used factory brushguard?

It's totally fine other than that but I think I am going to have to get it removed to fix my hood and my insurance would pay for a new one so......

If you are getting nearly 300 Mile Per Tank while driving in town then be happy.
Yes, you must run high octane gas, regular will drop your mileage by about 2MPG.
Run your tires about 5#'s higher then the door jam indicates, you may squeeze 1/2 more MPG by doing this.
