Interesting... I've never heard that one before. no problem doing that, cars are meant to be run wet!

Good to see you're on the hunt! As far as the exhaust manifolds go, they seem to be a weak point. A decent upgrade to those is to get the Doug Thorley headers as a replacement, they have a good sound as well as a good reputation but I don't think they bolt up directly to the stock exhaust, some...

Sorry I missed it! @Narbob looks like you'll be in the market for some KM3's...

Pictures man, Pictures!

LC 100 series is a good choice, you've done a lot of your homework and talked yourself into a good vehicle! There is a change in engine spec in 2006, it has the VVTi engine with quite a bit more horsepower (2005: 235HP, 2006: 275HP), as well as more torque. It also went from a 4 speed AT to the...

Yeah true. I have been meaning to do some pics when I'm out, just don't make the time for it. I'll do some early October and post up.

@systemdelete you bring up a really good and important point, weight must be a consideration when going mobile. I'm always looking to improve the items in my BOB and this is a great post to fine-tune some of those things, add some, consolidate, etc. That said, to pack for a known trip for a...

I like that little trailer. I remember it when it didn't look so gnarly and I liked it back then too! Nice work and keep those kids fishin'! it's all good. Dan.

Nice rig and nice build, good choice to start with. Now that you've added weight and tire diameter, does that 3B have enough power for you?

Finally a Jeep with some room to put stuff! :smirk:

Hello @GunninIt, welcome to the forum and group. So. Cal is a big place, can you put a finer point on it? I live down Torrance / so.bay area, there's a couple meetups pretty close to me in either direction, we're trying to establish some regularity, hope you can make either one. One's near...

Nice pic! What did Bob put on the top of his JK? :sunglasses: Green goes well with that... :laughing:

Great meeting up with you guys this morning, pretty good turnout, had around 10 trucks, talked about some fun stuff, hopefully able to get some trips or runs organized. You guys put the word out and we'll have a good core group for runs and support. Thanks @Fitz for putting this together...

If you run things like fridges or compressors, regardless of the draw rating, on only one battery, I would recommend a jump pack like a NoCo or other decent brand as a backup in case your starter battery got drawn down too far to start. Even if you do have a 2-battery system, a jump pack is a...

Welcome aboard, hope you can find value here and contribute to the general community, it's a good place to be. Dan.

@SIntents16 no worries, I was mostly busting @Michael 's chops a bit, he and I go back a ways and I think it's great that the camera got turned around on him for a minute. I watched this, then I started watching some of your other stuff (rabbit hole!), and it looks like you guys are having some...

Sorry if I missed it, but you should probably list the price that you want for it. Dan.

I bought the original Shower Port and have been pretty satisfied with it. There have been some improvements in the latest design, and I've heard you can even get them at Costco and Sportsman's Warehouse now. The downside to the WP is that it doesn't hold a lot of water, and the idea is that the...

Not much of a "walk-around", you only made it half-way, but cool to hear your take on some of your gear-up philosophies and the consistency of your message, it doesn't matter what you drive, and you don't have to spend $1M to have a good overland rig. ...and it's good to see that you're just...

X2! I did plasti-dip on my hood and it lasted for a year. Took almost 2 hours to get it off with a pressure washer. Definitely not recommended. Looks good for a minute but crappy only a short time later. Scuff up the wheels with some scotchbrite pads, spray them with wheel paint. It can...
