Project: Dauntless Blazer
So heres my idea for what i want to do to my blazer.
Goal: To have it look good and perform well. I would like to achieve better gas mileage, and not spend a lot of money overall
What I want:
Airaid Air intake kit 148
Go Rhino Sumatra 3000 step guard black 207
KC Hilites 2x6 all season lights 88
KC hilites Quad beam conversion 14
Hella/optilux 1400 series 20
LUND window deflectors 38
TOTAL COST: $509
What else could I do to get better gas mileage? (Im getting about 15)

you aren't doing anything wrong. . these truck like gas like a fish likes water...... swap mufflers.... if you can keep from hot-rodding your truck just to hear the exhaust, it will get you better mileage. . .
