I highly doubt this. I could see you getting that mpg mixed but not all city. My tranny slips every once in a while and I get 15-16 in the summer.

With a mixture of highway and city 17-18 is a believable number.

i have the same 2000 4.0 OHV 5speed manual 4x4 with off-road package. shift on the fly under 50mph. front differental is leaking I am dreeding fixing the leak. It appears that project requires dropping the entire front suspension to get at the diff housing bolts and to replace the pinion seal. I get around 19mpg in 2wd mode. I have not checked MPG in 4wd mode

I get 16-17 city on 32"s and 3:73s. it's not impossible! 20-21 on the highway. 10 mpg is crazy even with a 4.0. Find a manual hub swap and re do your hub bearing assemblies. That will help. Fan clutch is also a big culprit for sluggishness and poor mpg. But the main thing is most likely that all your front running gear is turning every mile you drive. All the joints and bearings take unnecessary wear that way. Good luck!
