  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Mojave Road trip - March 2017

    Not sure how deep it will have to get for your rig, but its also a function of the time it spends in the water. Most people I have talked to say that the water is usually just shy of 2.5" (Just at the top of most tires), however when I arrived it turned out to be closer to 3.5" (Reaching the...

    What is the difference between a tow strap, snatch strap, and kinetic , and when would you use each?

    So a kinetic rope is used for a "kinetic" recovery AKA a recovery where you use a little bit of momentum from the tow vehicle to "pop" the stuck vehicle out of whatever it's stuck in. They are incredibly effective at retrieving people if used correctly. A snatch strap is similar to a kinetic...

    Need advice - tire repair

    Also see if you have a smaller tires shop in town who might be willing to do it with the right plugs, after a terrible experience with big brand tires I found a little local place who have been absolutely great! Everyone there is a car nut and treats my rig with respect and are willing to do...

    Mammoth MLK Weekend 1/13-1/16

    I highly recommend checking out the hotsprings 15 min out of Mammoth, there is a couple of them, just make sure you snow chains if not also snow tires (mud terrains are terrible in the snow) Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

    Recovery Groups

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to recover any of these because they were indeed abandoned, I came back the next day and still no avail. In the past I have helped out a high centered Jeep (brand new, full factory options, driver was brand new to driving, boy was he embarrassed about being towed by...

    Lockers

    Also on the note of a winch though, keep in mind a winch is only as good as your anchor Point, so if you are planning on heading to a desert or planes without trees or rocks it would probably be wise to invest in a land anchor Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

    Recovery Groups

    Hi all, I am sure that all of us have at some point or another helped out someone on the trail or even on the street whether its with helping out a novice driver up a hard trail or recovering a properly stuck rig. I was wondering how many people know of, or are apart of, off-road recovery...

    OB Approved CO2 vs. Air Compressors

    While I am not 100% sure, if I remember correctly from my chem classes, CO2 will leak out significantly faster then average air (AKA mostly nitrogen). While the time for vehicles probably varies greately, I know that bike tires will go flat after 2-3 days when running pure c02

    Lockers

    Along the same idea of vehicle specifics, installing lockers into a stock discovery 1 or 2 is risky business, if you bind up one tire and give it all the torque of the engine in low range it can, and will, snap an axle shaft. So in addition to adding in a locker all the axle shafts should be...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Ran through a mud pit that I normally go through, but I guess the constant barrage my diff has gotten the last few days has removed some of the dielectric grease around the rim, so after splashing through decently quick a few times I started running on 3 or 5 cylinders out of 8, got out cleaned...

    Lockers

    The same as everyone has already stated above, I have yet to run into a situation where I absolutely need lockers, driving semi-intelligently , good lines, and careful use of a small amount of momentum have gotten me through a lot. Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app

    What tires do you like? (Merged Thread)

    I just took my rig up to Mammoth during the snow storm, and I was incredibly impressed with my Cooper AT3'S, I had grip in situations where I never would have imagined... On iced up hills I just threw it in low range and locked the center diff and it just crawled right up, I also headed over to...

    Mojave Road trip - March 2017

    Looks like 30-45 rigs are planning on attending!!! Some scale for fun (I enjoy looking at different perspectives) 5-8 groups of 6 (Max without a permit) 4-5 groups of 9 If all 45 rigs were bumper touching bumper, we would span about an 1/8th of a mile long If all rigs were at an average...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Replaced the fuel filter, the broken windshield fluid reservoir and pumps, new blades, new sunvisor clips, I'll post pics when I get home. While I have all of the experience and expertise here, I have a quick question. So I replaced the filter (the old one was really bad) and the truck is...

    I am looking forwards to this! While range Rover have certainly gotten more plush since their beginning, they haven't lost their off-road prowess quite yet! Sent from my Nexus 6P using OB Talk mobile app
