I brought ours out of the tail light hole. Trimmed a little groove in the plastic lip on the light housing where it seals to the body so that’s it doesn’t pinch it when I bolted it back in.

Looks like an amazing trip!

Welcome! There’s a plethora of information available here on many subjects. And if you don’t find it, find the related section and ask. Someone will have an answer, it’s the only forum I have ever used that is truly helpful and kind to everyone. Great group of people

We did the western portion early this year. To be honest, it was disappointing. When you get north of i40 there was a no trespassing sign on a cattle guard on the gpx file. I have it pinned on gaia if you need it. After turning around, we ended up taking highway to the black kettle grassland...

We decided on off road model, the pro wasn’t worth it for us. I do REALLY miss heated seats, and automatic headlights. But, those were the only 2 options that we really wanted when we bought ours back in 2018. I bought the cheapest version I could to get the rear locker, as I knew I would change...

Will do. Sorry took awhile to reply, work got crazy. But I appreciate that!

Yeah. I’m wondering that myself to be honest. We are planning as if it will. And have a contingency plan if it’s not. Lol

That is basically what I was expecting. But it’s great to hear that others agree on it. we are planning to be in Estes park on the 11th, then meander through during that week. No true dead set plans. So we are negotiable on paths we take.

The wife and I are planning to go to Rocky Mountain National Park, camp in the Forest surrounding the park the week of October 10th. Depending how much time we spend here, then head toward the ouray area on a big loop coming home. My real question is, is this a feasible plan in October? This...

It’s all a matter of what works for you. But, if mileage is a big concern, you may take a good look at just upgrading tires alone. The more that you modify, the worse it gets. Then if you pull a trailer ever, it tanks it. I got single digits pulling our camper to New Mexico a year or two ago.

This is what my dash shows for an average. I don’t track it, so not sure how accurate it is. But I know i put fuel in often on trips. Lol

Mine now downshifts to 4th on nearly any hill on the highway, trans temp runs higher than it used too. I added a cooler. Tires are heavy, and the 4R feels it. I am looking at regearing differentials at some point to be honest. Gas mileage took a hit. I don’t really figure mine, as it’s our...

I have been in the area multiple times. Never have I been disappointed with the area. But I have never driven on the Forest roads near holly mountain area. I Did a trip with a couple other members north of there a few months ago. It was a great time. I’m just debating if I want to head down so...

I i am on 285/70/17 falken m/t‘s on stock trd rims. They clear by 1/4” on the sway bar/control arm. But they clear. Mine are not quiet... but they’ve gotten me everywhere so far. Lol

I did the bilstein 6112 fronts, 5100 rears on our 4Runner. It’s been on there about 25,000 miles and so far so good. Ride is firmer than stock, but not rough. It got rid of the factory body roll/nose dive while braking. I also increased spring rates to compensate for bumper and such. Put 700lb...

I am tempted to try to make this as well. Do you have a defined route that you’re running? Or is it more of an exploratory trip?

May be unpopular. But not wrong... stock just simply works. Especially until you see if there’s something you need to change for the areas you are exploring

i started using it because I could import the gpx routes I downloaded into it and download offline maps. If that’s what you’re referring to as tracks, yes you can. And it works very well in my experience. I typically download way more than I need for any given area, but if you stick to basic...

Welcome!

Welcome! I’m not really close to Amarillo, but I bet you’re not the only one out there. I have been surprised how many OB’ers are out there after joining up.
