What kind of performance can you get without a ground plane?

Hit up the junk pile at the local 4x4 shop. They often just throw them away. If nothing else you can get on a waiting list. mid you’re too rural to have that around…. Good luck.

Nope. Hate fake stuff… and it’s extra weight. I realize the irony, me saying that with my steel fake hood-scoop hood. But I’d have a jk style hood if it was feasible. I also realize its very hard to find wheels that fit that aren’t fake bead locks… other than real bead locks. Hopefully...

EVERY time I’ve had a fast car… corvette, gto… fzr, cbr, Really anything faster than a GTI I regret it pretty quick. They’re too much. Unless you’re a complete child and drive in the triple digits all the time, you’re in arrested territory before you hit third gear. They just have no good...

i wonder what it’s like through local born eyes. I make sure my wife is aware I’m ready to move daily. Now my kid is starting “school” here….

Hmm I had usaa do that to me once. Turned out they were getting out of motorcycle insurance in Hawaii. Rather than cancel coverage they just bumped it up massively, they’ll cancel or pay for the hassle. I ended up with progressive. They came back a few years later. I’d definitely call...

I’ve been told and experienced that long wheel base seems better in sand/mud etc. other than having a bit extra reach to go from soft spot to hard spot with one axle I don’t know why it would. having had a 2500 ram Cummins recently, I can say it’s definitely not the extra weight. That...

that does look fun. Too bad it’s like a 4 hour round trip to anywhere out here. Yea I’m not from the west. Other than wheeling I find the desert/ SoCal…. Well. Let’s just say, I’m waiting for my in-laws to die so I can move the eff east of the Mississippi or back to Hawaii. I am SO sick...

Yea I am always thinking about doing that. But it has t come up as a problem yet. Oh yea… and needing to cut on my axles doesn’t fill me with glee. Jeeze just looked em up. For that price… do they install themselves? Are they Bluetooth compatible? That’s a lot of endlink.

What’s desert season? It’s a million degrees already yea? and all winter it was flooded out. Kinda lame. I picked the thing up in “winter” and everything was closed. But it was a very mild spring and I’ve been going out multiple times a week. Took my wife to grapevine canyon road to...

suspension travel? not nearly enough. But the po of mine put a heavy front bumper and winch. I have used the winch, but it’s 200lbs out front my suspension has to contend with. Waiting for a good deal on an MP concepts or something. IFS…. I helped a tundra out of the way this weekend cuz he hit...

Well some in the crowd believe when you’re doing solid axle, nothing can improve suspension performance or hinder it. I disagree. If you’re driving a rubicon on rocks…. Put 400lb tires on. No big deal. If your suspension is articulating at speed. Every pound matters a lot. I used to do some...

Well I’m The desert. I Mojave the Mojave. The thing soaks up the highway, which we have in massive abundance in the west, and the sandy trails. The rubicon may have that super low ratio… but 2:72 is still pretty low. I’ve gotten it through “the squeeze” in stock format… those with wheel...

I went from a jk to a gladiator… the amount of stuff I can carry so much more. But yea. The gladiator offers more off roading drawbacks than advantages. Only advantages being a bit of tip resistance and sometimes that extra wheel base has you out of trouble on one side while just entering...

So I just had an incredibly pedantic long, pretty much involuntary discussion/lecture, on ham being the way to go. You can pick up a baofeng hand held ham and unless you’re in the antarctic, hit repeaters. Dude demonstrated while I was out in tecate. Gmrs isn’t super different from 2 meter...

Danke schön und merci Gracias

Got mine through Carvana. I assume that once they’re in the wild, stop sales don’t take. So much easier than dealer. No haggling, but who needs it when they’re not charging $2000 paperwork fees.

So, when I turn off the traction control in my Mojave (full off, pro+ or whatever it’s called and hold down traction button) I get a service abs and brake warning lamp. Similarly when I drive in 4lo, service ESS pops up. Once I get to about 12-15 mph. (Edit, now it seems to be like 30 seconds…...

I know some hate reviving an old thread… but… was wondering if anyone knew if a badlands 12000 will fit on this bumper. I see one badlands in the pics but can’t tell the size.

What is that “if I can just get homel” mentality. How much damage has been done because of haste and this “it’ll be ok if I can just get home”.
