Wouldn’t run an E rated tire unless it is 3 ply .

So far, 3,000 miles; at the Nebraska National Forest we toured a bit, nearly 20 miles of sandy trail, deep in sections and one section of deep mud. I did not air down and was quite impressed with their performance. We just floated along quite nicely. Today we were on a bit of snow covered roads...

I wasted money on progressive bumpstops. They are great for rock crawler vehicles or pre-runner racing suspensions as they soften the blow of bottoming out..

So, humor is not permitted? Humor about Ford versus Chevy versus Chrysler versus etc etc etc has been around since the horseless carriage has been invented.. honestly though, jeeps do have a very harsh ride, I spent a lot of money on two different spring kits and three different sets of shocks...

So, I said it “hard” and you said it “harsh” hard harsh ride =s Jeep LOL

Sorry dude, I spent almost 10 years trying to make my Jeep something it wasn’t . Finally threw in the towel and stepped up to a much better vehicle

You drive a Toyota. ARB ( aka Old Man Emu ) suspensions are designed to withstand the very harsh Australian outback, think violent washboard two tracks. Dobinson is another option from Australia. Before our current trip, as a PM item, I replaced my ome shocks with new ones. The old ones...

All I can say is, wow. You guys must live in some bad neighborhoods.. We once went away for a long weekend and neglected to close the garage door to my Cruzer’s home, shop, etc.. For three days it was wide open and not bothered.. We rarely lock up our house, our vehicles or the carriage...

Thank you !! I have always checked with local authorities pre-emptively, just in case there may be a tree laying over the track. I too abhor “convoys”. Wanna get a gate up? Keep running in your convoys. We go alone 99% of the time. When we do go out with others, no more than 3 vehicles. I...

Environmental terrorist, leftists, etc etc,, c’mon guys, you can do better than that.. this just isn’t the place for spreading wack job opinions or passing along stories that simply did not happen.

Warn is a natural choice , Come-up winches get a ton of great reviews and are used world wide. Smittys in my humble opinion, have come a long way since they were first introduced and I’ve heard they are now a tad bit bit better than the boat anchors they once were. I have a Superwinch...

Curious, how does one determine what the “edge” is you refer to? I ask because much is made of off road performance of many different tires. My son ran Goodyear MTRs on his 80 and I went wherever he did with ease. My son in law has bone stock street tires on his 4Runner Trail and went...

A few hundred miles? For the cost of those max couplers they ought to last for several hundred thousands of miles. Long ago I considered purchasing one, did my research and stuck with my pintle hook and rotating lunette ring. It is rated for 10,000 lbs and will more than likely last longer than...

For the past 25 years I've been using BFG KOs and one set of KM2s. I've had great success with these tires as I have never had a flat. They have never failed me. Last week, however, I jumped off of the proverbial cliff and bought a set of the General Grabber ATXs. I've heard and read excellent...

Back when the roto packs hit the market I thought to myself, wow!! Those guys are marketing geniuses. They want how much money for a plastic can and mounts? The profit margins are hilarious!! Not to bash a product but I also figured that most of em would one day end up in the recycling bin..

Speaking of rock sliders, you, as was I, a few years ago, between the proverbial rock & the hard place.. choosing an overlanding vehicle is not an easy task, I spent literally thousand of dollars in an attempt to make my TJ Rubicon into a long range overlanding vehicle.. I’ll step up and admit...

Anything Toyota, and not just because I have a 96 80 series with 305,000 miles on it, but because of one major thing, reliability. The only thing that is not stock on mine are the bumpers, springs and shocks. I just recently replaced the original suspension bushings and of course I used all...

My wife and I are headed out in two weeks for a western tour. First stop will be the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming for some cold weather camping, touring and hiking. Years ago we bit the proverbial bullet and purchased a Mr Buddy heater to use in our large Oztent as our 15 degree bags weren't...

Interesting; The 80 series Landcruiser has a combined, GCWR maximum capacity of 10,025 lbs without the towing package. I have upgraded mine to the "towing package" with the help of OME heavy suspension and a 5 ton capacity GI hitch bringing my maximum GCWR up to 11,525, per official Toyota...

Ya can't lock a strap, I use these and have been for years. Been using a pad lock on a pair of them for years. The pair are mounted on my trailer which lives in our carriage house. The OP is asking a valid question just as long as he isn't a poser which some here have blatantly accused him of...
