    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    That's where the whole inserting yourself in a situation comes up. If it's me in a convivence store and two knuckleheads come in to get the register, I'm cool as a cucumber until they leave. Not my money, not my store. I have a wife and a child to go home to everyday. NOW... if they start...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Just keep in mind this is not how it works in some states. Here in MN, if I insert myself in to a situation, I'm going to be liable. Sucks, but, that's the law. Also, as far as OC, outside of in the woods, I've done it once in my life in the city. It was a specific moment / transaction that...

    2011 Xterra low lift w35s build and adventures

    Ab Another tip when searching for the newer 3 rib version of the M205 is to look at Armadas and QX56's. Also, many of the older trucks had their front differentials replaced under warranty with the upgraded 3 rib unit. So, if you can see pictures of the unit listed and verify it is the 3 rib...

    Uberlands slow-but-hopefully-steady Excursion build.

    Can't be used as a blanket statement. Changing to the PROPER gears will put the engine in its power curve and make the entire operation of accelerating and driving down the road more efficient. having improper gearing that lugs the engine or over revs it is where bad MPG and performance comes...

    Carburetor vs. Throttle Body Injection

    Does this kit allow you to do any tuning or does it self learn? Keep in mind the 350tbi setup is early to mid 80's tech. Is there another newer option out there? My Memory of the old Chevy TBI engines were that they were reliable, but got no better mileage and had no tuning ability (OBD1)

    2011 Xterra low lift w35s build and adventures

    Keep in mind the Pro-4X Frontiers and Xterras come OEM on 32" tires and share the same chassis platform as the Titan which comes with 33's, so swapping to 33's is not really a big deal. The truck already has a Dana 44 rear and has more engine than your Jeep. Since they share the same platfom...

    2011 Xterra low lift w35s build and adventures

    the M205 is a good idea. Even if you don't plan to Titan swap the suspension, the increased strength of the Titan diff is worth it. Plus the bolt on CV axles. Side note, the 2.93 diffs are normally cheaper, since you are swapping gears, it shouldn't matter. Just make sure you get one of the...

    Dangerous situations!

    Not "overlanding" But, once in Poland with my wife, we were in a corner store and I realized a young lady kept putting herself in my line of view as I shopped. Since I already had my head on a swivel, I knew she had come in with a sketchy looking tweaker of a BF, and sure enough a quick glance...

    Tow strap vs lift strap/sling

    Most folks "Stuck" in the snow need nothing more then a gentle tug, so, I see no reason why a tow strap or lift sling isn't fine. Back when I was young and broke, I pulled myself and my wife out of a plow ridge with nothing more than a tripled up clothesline.

    LT265/65R18/E KO2 vs 265/65R18/SL Wildpeaks - sidewall strenght?

    I have no experience with either tire, but, Make sure you aren't relying solely only on the number of plies on a tire to determine sidewall strength as one tire to the next is constructed differently, so a 10 ply of one tire might not be as resistant to puncture as one with 4 or 5. I've relied...

    Is it possible or am I wishful?

    Not being a Toyota person, does the TRD stuff give any more lift over other trim levels or is it just sprung/valved differently?

    Nope! I'm broke! Can't afford any of the gear I'd like to have!! Camped for 10 years in a $29 Walmart tent, still sleep in my lord knows how old Coleman sleeping bag.

    Mobile Ham Radios and LED lights

    Also, where is your antenna mounted? I have LED headlights as well and I get no noticeable issues with my Kenwood dual band radio though, my antenna is mounted to the right rear bedrail.

    Have it done or do it myself: oil change?
