If your not going the speed limit pull off and let traffic pass , siteseeing is fine from the side of the road . If you’ve ever driven a Comercial vehicle sometimes keeping the speed limit loaded means not slowing down and if you do you’ll be doing 35 all the way up a pass once you loose momentum.
I use to try and take pics of the rig but... the hills always look less steep , the rocks smaller The flex doesn’t look as good and the snow looks no where as deep . Now I focus more on enjoying being outdoors rather than the photo op
A small bump in flow on the exhaust can sometimes help but usually people go way to big and to free flowing and while it may sound faster all it’s done is moved the hp up in the rpm range and killed off some TQ on the low end .... the exact opposite of what you want off-road
Grey poupon ??? Sorry now a days it better be a non gmo organic free trade mustard spread
Omg I had a 77 celica and miss that thing like crazy Such a cool unique car But when I sold it I made 3500$ soooo ya .
Can’t wait to see some videos from this trip . I always had dreams of doing the ultimate adventures trip here in the US but unfortunately time and money got the best of my cj5”gladiator” project and it was sadly parted out and sold off . Such a awesome build and can’t wait to see what the future...

Funny how sometimes trail fixes hang around longer than you think . Back in the day I had a first gen Toyota pu ( god I miss that thing ) and up playing in the snow had the starter fall off and fixed it with two rathchet straps and because I was young and dumb left it that way for 3 months while...
Ok ok ok let’s just all just find some common ground we can all agree on ..... bacon we all love bacon ........... wait you Canadians eat different BACON!!!!! See we can’t agree on anything
HOW DARE YOU LIFT A LAND ROVER !!!!! Ruined just ruined now if you blow a tire in the middle of the Swiss alps how the hell are you gonna get a replacement ??? My brothers cousins sister wife’s uncle did that same road in a Peugeot without a problem .... must be that ego complex of big tires...
You would laugh at a discussion over on expedition portal onif you can overland a stock vehicle , would you believe there’s bashing on how a modified vehicle will leave you stranded , the back and forth has been quite entertaining. If you could believe it some of the same people are over there...
Well the other side of that coin is your rig is not sold in The USA So if you traveled here you would have a hard time finding parts .
But I think your still missing the point that living in North America the need to ship a vehicle Or travel to another country is a lot smaller than being in...
Well I was never saying Europe was small simply stating not everybody has to cross multiple international borders to travel .
But I think a big takeaway from all this discussion is I think if you decide to modify your vehicle it should match your mechanical ability Actually anybody who is...
And also living in North America is a lot different than living in most the other parts of the world I could drive for nearly 3 days straight on highway to get from East to west coast heck in my state alone it could take me at least a week just to travel across it on gravel if I took the short...
Vehicles from the factory are built to save cost to maximize profits , unless your getting special models the only drive of the manufacturer is to build a rig strong enough to live through the warranty . The manufactured vehicle in stock form has a lot of flaws built into it so to say to keep...
Tire size is highly subjective to vehicle size . A new zr2 Colorado has 265/65r17 and looks mean and tough with them on
My 06 crew cab short bed GMC Sierra has 265/70r17s it’s a bigger tire but under my rig looks tiny and that is extra strange because it’s only 1” wider and 15” longer . Run a...
