It depends on where and how you want to "off-road". For general overlanding and wide trails it'll be great assuming you soften up the suspension a bit and run large diameter tires with as much sidewall as possible to cushion the ride. Our old '06 F250 rode like a dump truck offroad. :)

I decided do a couple coats of the old Exact Match paint on the grille surround then go over it with a bunch of coats of DupliColor Custom Wrap (like PlastiDip) in Arctic White. It's the same exact color as the Exact Match paint. It turned out quite well. I applied a few coats of the gloss clear...

I love the look of a modded Ranger. The rigs in Australia and NZ made me jealous.

Very nice! I love Xterras.

Took the front end apart to repaint the grille. It was chipping pretty bad and since I'm not driving much it seemed like a good time to do it. Sanding all the old paint off. I also got a P0449 code immediately after filling the gas tank. I assume it had something to do with the nozzle...

At least it was an easy fix. Had me skurd for a second.

Went snow wheeling with @Magic Mike just up the road from my house. He just upgraded from 33s to 35s on his 4Runner and the track we were on is usually ran by people with 35s so needless to say I was the one getting winched.... A few times. What's not pictured are the few uphill deeply rutted...

Thanks buddy!

Stefan details the basics of beach and desert driving and the gear "needed" to do so safely. Most of his tips apply to all off-road conditions, not just sand. If you are a subscriber you'll know this guy has a lot of experience driving in all types of conditions and trail types and knows a lot...

Love it! Thanks so much for sharing the adventure. I put this place on my list.

I was introduced to Death Valley on an OB trip last fall and I love it! Fantastic photos!

@PapaDave has me beat and his pesto smelled amazing. :tonguewink:

Did some measuring and decided to skip the 63" Chevy leaf spring retrofit. I want more flex and comfort but it's not worth the hassle. I'll do a rear shackle mount relocation instead and play with shackle angles to get the flex and ride I want. Taking video while going over obstacles like this...

Win!

Some of the fun in Mojave during the OB cleanup event. Some of the fun in Mojave. Afton water crossing. Checking articulation.

A 265/70/17 is the best option with only a very minor rub in some cases when using aggressive tires. Have fun. :) https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/biggest-tires-no-lift.2458/ Alternative sizes are 265/65/17, 255/75/17 and 255/70/17.

This may help some.

I finally went through a respectable water crossing after @TOMB showed us how it's done. :)

This is not true at all. Some pads are not compatible with some tailgate designs sure but unless you're desert running the pads are what most truck owners use to transport bikes in the bed. Pretty much nobody straps a bike down like a moto.

Thanks! Little by little. :smiley:
