Sounds like a fun build! Totally agree with you on the other continents getting the cool diesels. I've always been a diesel fan. Sounds like you have a good plan for parts. Are you anticipating issues with needing custom parts outside of driveshafts, or do you expect this transplant to be...

Honestly man, you need to check your information and do some more research. A lot of what you're saying is either incorrect mixing of terms, or oversimplification of opinion statements as truth. Its obvious you're trying to be helpful, but your post is more misleading and and confusing for...

I lifted my second gen Tacoma with OME coils in the front, wheelers aal in the rear and Billsteins all around. Stock UCAs. It was improved over stock, but not the best. My caster was maxed out on the stock UCAs. Steering twitchy. Wished it was a little higher. And ride was a bit stiff. I just...

As much as I love diesel swaps, that 6.9 is massive. And I don’t know the numbers but isn’t that adding a ton of weight to an already heavy rig? I don’t remember specifics but aren’t there a couple of 4 and 6 cylinder Cummins engines used in tractors that are popular for jeep swaps? Sent...

Great info thanks man. Eventually getting traction boards regardless, didn’t really want to spend the money before this trip unless practically useful though. Sounds like they’re a good practical choice for PINS though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I might be available Thursday night. This week has the strong potential to go majorly sideways at work, but if not, Thursday would be possible. Wish I could make more of a commitment! If nobody else is available we can touch base Wednesday or Thursday, and I can give you a better idea of my...

Thanks for the info you’ve dropped here and other places Chris! My wife and I did most of the route this weekend. It was a great trip. Your gpx files were super helpful too, since I’m not at all familiar with the hill country, and was trying to be careful to not accidentally trespass anywhere...

Also, Tommys, what was the condition of the sand on PINS, and how far south did you go? Did yall air down at all, and did you hit any soft spots? We're prob going down there sometime in September. I've never driven on sand before, not sure if investing in some maxtrax would be necessary or...

Looks like a nice trip tommys! Second file is the gpx I used for the trip. Good waypoints and accurate. I did not do this entire thing. First file is my own track recording. No waypoints and not super clear but that’s what I did. I’m still learning how to use Gaia. Actually, hold on. I can’t...

Randomly did the hill country tour route this weekend. Very mild, low key dirt roads. Gorgeous scenery, and the Llano river island camping spot was great. Got to flex out my new dobinsons suspension too. It performed great. Also, yes I definitely still have street tires on my rig...

@Hybrid_Offroad thanks man! Happy with the direction its going in. Agreed on adulting. 100% Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely call the park and talk to them if you’re going to be in the park itself. This time of year is Glaciers peak season, and they tend to be pretty full. My wife and I did a “last minute” trip to glacier where we planned our backcountry route over a month in advance, and we were told we...

Your post made me think a little bit. So i'm not going to change my response, but add to it, because I believe you are correct. If someone asks me "do you carry a gun" or "what do you do for self defense", then yall saw my answer. That's a short answer, but that's where I am. If someone...

I conceal almost the time. Everywhere except 30.06 (legally banned cc) areas and government buildings. All day every day at work too. I’ve considered moving to open carry when out and about camping. Mainly haven’t because of the cost of a new holster and belt setup. It would be much more...

This is one of the reasons I carry appendix IWB. It’s universally accessible, with similar garment clearing motions. If I’m getting in the car for long periods of time I’ll stick it between my seat and console. Otherwise it just stays in my belt. I know this carry style doesn’t work for...

Totally agree man, not at all criticizing extra lighting. I do recognize there are instances where it’s necessary. I guess I’m more just noticing a trend, which your statement represents. Often people gear up WAY past what they need. Your feedback is a good reminder that fancy gear isn’t...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I might have already installed my suspension. It started with a wild hair Saturday before last. I watched a couple of videos and thought “huh. I could do that in a couple of afternoons”. Ended up having tons of fun using ratchet straps as spring compressors, spring compressors as...

Another RTT owner with a 4runner. Currently opens on the passenger side. This allows access into the vehicle from inside the annex, on the side that DOESNT have our daughters car seat installed. Her car seat is installed drivers side. Honestly I’ve played with it opening both directions and...

Welcome Justin! I’m also in San Antonio. Check out the regional meet up section, we’re starting to try to get a local monthly meet up going. What vehicles are you looking at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
