    To Snorkel or not to Snorkel

    ive personally watched at least 5 friends hydrolock engines in the southeast, and have had my jeep deep enough for water to be within a few inches of the intake, so I for one will definitely be snorkeling it soon. Yes, it may be costly, and could I avoid deep water crossing? yes, but im not the...

    Anybody use magnetic body armor for trails?

    I had a buddy of mine who had the smittybilt ones on his jeep, the worked pretty well. but since they didn't cover the entire area, when he took them off, he had "new" outlines of them against an otherwise mildly scuffed paintjob. It took some buffing to make it blend in. with that being said...

    Front bumper addition = upgrade suspension?

    I cant speak specifically for your Tacoma suspension. but, in general the TRD line of Toyotas is a well built line of vehicles, they already come with upgraded suspension and 230lbs added to the front should be an issue, and account for the weight of the factory bumper coming off makes it even...

    What do you consider a "trail?"

    Im with the general consensus, anything that isn't paved I would consider a trail. including dirt roads and forest roads.

    ISO Dana 44 Front Axle

    Man, my best advice is to find one fast and scoop it up. I know youre looking obviously, but theyre disappearing fast. I just fought the battle of trying to buy one from mopar and about 30 other sites. They discontinued the rubicon 44 axle for the JKs and the closest you can find to them is...

    Full coverage rig insurance?

    There are actually quite a few companies that will insure your vehicle for the cost of the truck plus all the add ons included. I know for sure Esurance will. but with that being said, theyre taking a risk and it wont be cheap on your end. however.. im not sure that they would cover theft of...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    most states allow carry of a handgun in your vehicle as long as its locked in a compartment and some require that it be unloaded. I carry mine almost everywhere I go in the jeep in a lockbox under the seat. if im anywhere in the southeast out camping I usually have my .22 with me for fun.

    Heavy duty recovery options.

    second to what desert runner said. minimum 10k winch should suit you fine as long as the mounting point is solid. a 12k wouldn't hurt at all and isn't much more of a price difference. snatch blocks = lighter load to pull, I recommend atleast one, but 2 is always better if you have the options...
