Since the fuel tank is on the inside, you can get a Marks Overdrive unit, reduces revs by 23% or something like that in 4th gear, that will help fuel economy no end. It fits on the back of the transfer case, cost about 1600 bux for the unit and fit it during a bearbox/ t-case rebuild, it'll pay for itself.

Matt what I did to save money on fuel was buy a $500 4cyl and drive it when you dont need the cruiser.
The other advantage of not using the cruiser all the time is there is a lot less maintenace.
Bide your time and do diesel conversion

what reliability issues re 1hz? mate of mine is running a seriously turboed one and it has heaps of k's on it, with only minor stuff like a set of glowplugs being changed. outdrags v8 commo's too...
as for the 2f, put it on gas,and a block under the throttle pedal, and leave it at that... the stock carby is good offroad on petrol, gas is great offroad./

the fuel pump 'problems' with 1HZs are present in turbo and non turbo installations and result from a lack of required maintenance. those other problems are only caused by over fuelling causing excessive combustion temperatures. a well set up 1HZ with a turbo is both reliable and powerful.
