    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I’ve heard nothing but good so far and at that price I’ll take a chance. Be nice to run 35s with only 2” of lift

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Ordered new shoes , sometimes it pays to bounce around a couple different sites till you get a cheaper price .

    Who's more annoying?

    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.

    Running trails solo as an overlander

    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

    Air intake and exhaust. Is it worth it?

    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

    Converting from rock crawler to overlander

    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...

    Converting from rock crawler to overlander

    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...

    Converting from rock crawler to overlander

    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...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    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...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    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...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    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...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    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...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    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...
