    17 Renegade Altitude Build

    The A/T's are pretty nice for the money they aren't loud on the highway either gas mileage hasn't taken a drop either which kind of surprised me.

    2018 GMC Canyon MTB/Overland/Adventure Rig

    That is good news because I notice the rear of my truck doing that as well even while pulling my camper on forestry service roads.

    New truck suggestions

    I have always gone with OME ( Old Man Emu) on all my past Toyotas not crazy expensive yet rides good and in my opinion plenty of flex. I always order it through Toytec lifts out of Colorado they ship fast and have great customer service. And what's nice is for an extra $100 you can have them...

    2017 Jeep Renegade

    We have the Teraflex lift on ours and the shop that installed it for us said so far the Teraflex kit is the nicest one they have seen so far. That being said we had some issues with swaybar endlinks clunking so we just run them disconnected all the time. I want ATP's front skid but after the...

    American Overland Adventures Colorado ZR2's

    The Duramax is awesome!! Now that mine seems to be getting broken in I get right around 33mpg's on the highway and 22 on the highway pulling our 17ft off-road camper. I get around 27-28 mpg's in town and that's after bumping up a little from the stock tire size.

    17 Renegade Altitude Build

    Finally got the ATP A pillar light brackets in last week so I installed them and added the 2" RC light pods. The ATP brackets are well made and worth the money however the company was difficult to work with on occasion. As for the lights I really like the wire harness RC sends out made it really...

    Need AT tire suggestions for 2012 BMW X5

    What he said because your options will also be very limited for a more aggressive tire in that stock size which appears to be a 255/55/18 which is right at 29inches if you can step down to 16's you will find a ton of great tires that aren't to aggressive and will cost almost half what decent...

    17 Renegade Altitude Build

    Its a great little vehicle for just running around town my wife only drives 7 miles a day round trip for work however the tiny gas tank in this thing is kind of frustrating. I wanted to get a Trailhawk but they didn't have those on sale when we bought this as a leftover 17 but it gets the job done.

    2017 Jeep Renegade

    Do you have any pictures on how it blocks out the plug and filter for oil changes by chance? When we get them I may just modify them prior to install.
