Thanks everyone! I am coming from a JKU Rubicon. I needed more utility and towing capacity for my family outings. The Alpha Adventure, or is it Off-road edition (not quite sure if the Alpha is and an adventure package or offroad package, seems silly to name the i5 one thing and the v8 another, but oh well still learning). Looking at the window sticker/build sheet, it seems to be a good base to start with.
It has 35" AT tires on it with 20" rims :huh: (not my first choice, but the tires are brand new so they are staying.) The previous owner threw in some chrome 17s (see Picture)
, so the idea is to buy some good 35" MTs (I was thinking of some Mickey Thompson Baja Blaw TTCs). Then I could have a EDD set and a set for when i hit the trails.
One thing, I am well aware that no one buys a Hummer for the fuel mileage, the build sheet states 17 city/ 22 Hwy.... I averaged 14.5 mpg on my 350 mile trip back. I did go through 2 mountain passes, but that is not even in the same ballpark? Could something be wrong?
Anyway, thanks for all the warm welcomes. I'm sure I will be picking some of your brains in the days to come.
Grant
