I fondly remember one offroad trip where it had been raining all summer and all fall and the leaves dropped on the mud and the entire trip was throttle steering then counter steering then trail braking. It was very Initial D/Formula D but at very low speeds.

The issue is more related to chassis dynamics more than weight distribution IMHO. The springs and shocks are rated for load carry and towing and are working hard to reduce weight transfer. To be honest I thought the light in the can pickup died with long bed single cabs as we have way more...

I feel that so much of "Overlanding:jazz hands" is a case of the meetoos. We saw the same thing in the 70's where suddenly any car with some holes in the muffler was a drag racer, the 80's saw the proliferation of body in white with teal, yellow and raspberry detail... everything was street...

All the electronics are doing is supplying a "constatnt" 12v signal to an electromagnet which will hold the slider open. You can do the same thing with your own switch and relay. Might not have the fancy integration but it'll work from the cab. Elockers are similarly the same deal, a switch...

Not the worst necropost I've been part of. So just thinking about nearly every live axle and mcpherson strut suspension I've ever touched or supplied parts for, we run into some logic traps. Modern gas charged shock dampers utilize some pretty advanced seals so that the nitrogen overpressure...

This is what I am trying to avoid in a way. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTd32YjxD/?k=1

Well then... guess I've been school. But back to our previously scheduled broadcast. A gladiator with a cap and racks would solve the "problem" in much the same way as a wrangler unlimited with rack would. I've already stressed that the memorial day excursion is a far end of the envelope...

So I had seen that thread and it of couse got me thinking, thinking all sorts of naughty thoughts which I can sum up in a single picture and the brief description " ever heard of the t-rex?" But... it's a whole other discussion, not for this thread. Anyway who wants to discuss this can PM.

Tell the wife and kids...

Oh no I'm well aware, just pointing out how the newer iterations have what we both want/like. With the auto box, I can hand off driving duties. The logistics tail and costs would murderize budgets fast. This past weekend was a bit of a unicorn all in all, when I wheel I dont always bring the...

I have been trying to swing that for a day. My ideal would be to talk the dealer into a weekend journey with as close to my ideal as possible, take a saturday doing the go out east highway & secondary roads and a sunday with an early beach journey. It wouldn't let me know its back up the...

I was hoping to use this trip as a logic experiment on the reality of full length roof rack as nearly everything save the coolers can go up. I mean they could... but I'll leave that to the troops to figure out.

At that rate it'll be 50 on the pair, they have no idea about yard work lord knows I've tried.

Oh no, I've been here since before the JT premiered, I'll keep lurking. I'm like corgi hairs... always there. I'm in no rush and a camp trailer keeps gnawing at me. As of right now I have ple ty of time to make decisions.

It's obviously just wait the ~15 years until the dogs have passed and the boys moved out... so simple, I'll just park it in the garage and wait.

They would be highly offended to hear your point of view. For the high speed low drag trips, I'll flop the 2nd row and throw the boys into the harnesses on the jump seat and stuff the goods into the middle space.

Sorry, dry toilet is all you got. For everthing else there is the atlantic ocean. The back story is I spent too many days at the beach where other people failed to bring any food or water, just assuming services would be right there. They are "right there" by way of a 4 mile drive back to the...

To alleviate a lot of the burning questions: 1. Wife and I have discussed crates, the dogs are not the more crate friendly, the shitty part of buddys life was spent in one and lyn is a corgi ie sits on the lap of god. They can and will crate it. 2. Gladiator with a cap is a solid plan, my...
