If you're going to seriously get into the hobby, I wouldn't underestimate the performance of lockers. You can have all the lift and tires you want, get into an odd whole or ledge where your traction is limited, you'll just sit there lightly stuck going, "If I had lockers this would be a Sunday...

I figure a post worded this way may get a bit more genuine feedback as it seems like it's become a bit a bragging statement lately to shout out, "I don't rub with my 37" tires on stock suspension." Yes you can fit a big tire in a Gladiator and drive in a straight line, we've heard plenty of...

Yeah it's overlanding... but truth be told, if you ask what that is, I won't have a good answer so not sure if there's any point in correcting the typo? It's an offroad paradox really.

I actually use them and have to say it's a solid quality mount. I use the Avenza map app so I still need my phone mounted for viewing. A bit surprised Avenza still hasn't integrated with CarPlay, it's supposedly been in the works for years now

I see people recommend putting in the Rubicon take-offs all the time and it makes me cringe. I just don’t see it being worth the hassle. If you want to build it up, like you said put a proper suspension lift in there. If you’re just looking for a bit more of an aggressive look than stock, put...

Curious what options you're referring to? If you're running fire roads or high speed desert trails I would actually say to leave the swaybars connected. For our low speed, big ruts, roots, & rocks trails, there's no comparison, it's simply more comfortable and requires less effort driving to...

I feel like 90% of the, "Nope, no rubbing for me" comments are when driving on a highway, which is nice to know, but still completely useless info for many of us. I have 33" tires with a 2" lift on an Overland, and yes they rub just a little bit with sway bars disconnected and at full stuff...

How come? When I was test driving, there was one with aftermarket RC shocks, the salesman asked me what I thought, I was turning and not fully paying attention to him or the conversation, and just kind of muttered, "Yeah this one isn't worth the effort, I'd rather just stick stock because I'll...

Thanks for the info, actually good to know. And that one made me laugh. “Got some sick lights off Amazon, only downside is they knock out my radio when I turn them on. “😂

I have the aux panel, and currently have 4 switches available lol. Plumbing in a permanent air up/down system is another one of my fun projects that I think I might do someday. I guess that would be one switch used. What are you using all yours for?

Interesting info, thanks for the heads up. Funny you mention wheels, it’s something I wasn’t planning on changing anytime soon, if ever… they use to be a massive looks upgrade in the 90’s and early 2000’s, but I find now that I often prefer stock over aftermarket options. Then can’t say I need...

I've got my truck pretty much where I want it for my required mods, lift/shocks/disco sway bars, winch, tires, compressor, recovery gear etc... It'll do as my name suggests, average overloading. Rock sliders and skid plates would still be on my wish list, but haven't been a necessity so far...

Looks good. Where did you mount your control box?

What would my MPG be with this mod, would I need to re-gear? Thanks,

From his comments below I would say he absolutely does not need 37" tires and re-gearing. Throw some 33" AT's on and enjoy the truck.

As long as it has a Trail Rated badge you'll be fine. Just kidding, kind of... like everyone's saying, you'll be surprised how far 4WD and good tires take you... and although that badge doesn't mean it's a monster truck, pretty sure it needs to be able to do substantially more than forest roads...

Yeah I’m seeing a couple threads I’m suspicious of that for, just created to generate site visits and interactions… there was another thread where someone was asking how to go off-roading and use their lockers and disco’s this weekend. Not that there’s anything wrong with not knowing that...

Pretty tame as in not turning left or right? I have a two inch lift with 33” tires and have minor rubbing at full stuff with wheels fully turned… granted it’s when sway bars are disconnected. That setup there is a fully certified mall crawler, especially with the underwhelming stock shocks...

Ditto what ShadowsPapa said... my best mileage of 22mpg is around 80km/hr(45-55mph), once I hit highway speeds I drop to around 20mpg, but can go as low as 16mpg if it's windy/hilly. I have 33" tires. If you have 33" or smaller, I'd be looking into it too, you should do better than 12-14mpg imo.

I'm curious to see if the performance drop is that aggressive with age, I've seen this mentioned a few times. If that's the case I will have to ditch them with our icy Canadian winters. I get people can just like a different tread design after a while, but I found in the ATV world, there were a...
