That Jeep looks like it has a $40,000 suspension setup just so it can drive to the same scenic overlook as a rented Nissan Rogue. You didn’t buy a truck—you bought a collection of aftermarket parts held together by monthly payments and optimism. The tires are so wide they have their...

There is literally a thing to disable it. The majority of us have it.

Today we did Engineer pass and Ophir pass. Engineer was sketchy as your still had snow above 12,500 and turning wasn’t the greatest. I freakin hate snow, but I was here so I did it. Much prefer Moab and other rocky places.

This guy hahaha. He loves him some road trips.

That!

This is the method of engagement Honda used for DECADES on their original vtec engines wirh no failures. Solenoid at the end of the head, RPM activates the solenoid and it feeds oil pressure to the pin which locks the high lift lobes. It’s not the type of engagement that’s an issue, it’s got to...

2016, ran to 140k, zero issues (rolled it down the interstate). 2017 ran to 140ish as well, zero issues. Traded in. 2018 ran to 120-130, zero issues. Traded in. 2021, 40k, zero issues. Will replace when it wears out because I’m not buying a new spy on me vehicle once that happens in the next...

The driveshaft should turn freely unless you’ve done a FAD delete or have an auto locker.

I’d look into a 2.5 at most. Honestly until you’re ready to slap the 37’s on it I wouldn’t lift it. 3” lift on 37’s is a lot, 3” lift on 35’s looks like you forgot left day. Split your fenders and run it as is, if/when you decide to slap on some 37’s look into a quality 2.5 like Metalcloak...

Definitely heard turd floated many times myself hahaha.

If you go watch the baddest tacomas out there, they spent 25000 bucks to get a tire under it that a stock rubicon fits…. Then they go break on gatekeeper at the rubicon and have to ride shotgun with someone else to actually see the trail (that someone else did a solid axle swap). I’ve owned...

Local colloquialism 🤦🏻‍♂️. My bad. Bottom fell out means it rained its ass off, so the stuff I’d planned to do today went nowhere lol. The sunrider is cool as shit (and seals very well hahahaha)

Any reason why you wouldn’t want to spend the same or less for a stinger head unit? Mine came with the 7” and at some point that’s most likely what I’ll replace it with. Mopar car play units are horrible about freezing/locking up with long periods of use. My 18 and 19 grand Cherokee and...

I put my new Sunrider on, the. The bottom fell out and I’ve been stuck in the house bored ever since.

Not bad at all. Stiffer than worn out rocksports, softer than new falcons. I haven’t driven them much yet, but about 10 miles of beat up caliche road to get to the highway and 15-20 miles to the gas station on west Texas ranch road and I was happy with them. I head back home next Wednesday and...
