My view from the office today while crossing the Oregon/Washington border. .

Fuel can This looks like the one for me! I wonder if it would be able to mount vertically under my bed cover. I will have to take some measurements after I get back from this Alaska trip. I am bringing a new/refurbished helo up to Kodiak right now. A great way to see the country since we are...

Nice truck! Do you have a build thread by chance?

ARB website link... As you can see in the link they allegedly have a locker option for the Colorado... however when you click on it there is nothing for sale there. lol OME (Old Man Emu) suspensions are also available for sale there at the ARB site! They come in a plethora of configurations for...

I can't lie. I paused the attached vid at least 10 times as the camera panned around this built Z71. I especially like how they integrated some of the power features with the OEM dash buttons... which takes them to another level. I already had some things of this sort in mind for future...

Thanks for popping that vid link in! I had heard that before somewhere. Generally speaking that as soon as you start throwing sand with your tires... you are digging.

Beach Driving Update: In case anyone was wondering where I have disappeared to... I have become a slave to the new house for a while. Lots of projects going on and money going elsewhere besides the truck. Planting out an acre of grass/throwing down straw/setting up a sprinkler network today for...

ICON stage 5 suspension upgrade as well as wheels and tires... Best Z71 video I have seen so far! This dude's truck is essentially the twin of mine but with slightly different mods. That ICON suspension upgrade looks simple and sweet. I especially like the rims and tires.

Moving into my new home now in Elizabeth City, NC. Time to get my own garage back! As well as garden/fruit. On an acre and less than half the taxes of Virginia. Plus the house is $100k less (even less taxes)... and sits on a full acre! I will be about a 45min drive to Virginia Beach, Kitty...

Here is a great video of a guy in Australia with his son taking a trip for a few days. He looks to be driving a pretty close to stock Nissan Nivara. He has some decent tires of about stock size, minor protection, OPEN diffs, and a winch. Makes it through some pretty narly stuff on his own. I...

I would totally stay away from it as well. It totally is a pita! Locktite and lock washers should do to trick.

I will have to read up on those new techniques for building tires you are talking about. I want just enough sidewall strength as to not have issues blowing tires... but as much flex as possible for added grip on rocks and floating/increasing traction in things like deep sand. Do you happen to...

Torture test hill climb of both a ZR2 and a modified Taco. All I have to say is... I am DEFINATELY getting a locker or torsion up front. Also, I am glad I have the excessive cooling on the transmission now and a much lower 47:1 crawl ratio. The Taco had to shut down due to overheating going up...

I like the look of his Ranger as well! That pic in the garage above looks amazing! Makes me want one. lol

No problem. The only other things I can think of that it could be is possibly the computer/software controlling the air mixtures as they come through the dash... or the actual valves that control the air flow mixtures. Who knows though... there are a lot of components to those systems. There...

Are those hydro NFT grow pipes in the background of the vid? A little off topic I know. lol If it is... he just gained some more cool points in my book. I am thinking of putting some into my aquaponics system to grow strawberries and lettuce.

I bet it does make a little difference in looks. I read through all of the reviews and saw some post an increase in fuel economy as well. Kind of makes sense looking at the hood and roof angles. (I think my skids compensated a little after taking the air dam off) I also like the thought of...

Rough Country... has 3 pages of things for our trucks I just went to their website and saw that their 1" is $45 and their 2" is $55. Not Bad! It says that the 1" will leave about .5" of rake and make room to fit "265/70/17 on factory wheels". That is basically jumping from the 30.6" tall...

I just went to their website and saw that their 1" is $45 and their 2" is $55. Not Bad! It says that the 1" will leave about .5" of rake. So then I went out to the parking lot (At work during lunch break now) and used my hand to see what the difference is in upper wheel space front vs rear. It...
