I'm seriously not trying to be combative, but the curves you provided (thanks for those) seem like the answer is "yes" and prove my point. Let's just look at 1500 RPM as a good example, since the torque converter in these things flash to at least that (and if you're in a manual you're prob not...

I moved to Vegas about 2 years ago... but truth be told don't get to spend a ton of time there yet because of work. I'm looking forward to meeting more Vegas-based folks and exploring more myself. I'm down Southwest. FWIW as a first place to explore out of Vegas look into the Gold Butte...

I often hear a similar thing when people compare 4.0L I6s and 4.7L V8s in WJs. In the case of WJs I have all the dyno graphs and have done the "write-up" a zillion times, and while it's true the V8 peaks a bit higher, at the same RPM as the I6s torque peak the V8 is making more torque... I'm...

It seems like a *nice* 2nd Gen Xterra is more inline price-wise with a *decent* 3rd Gen 4Runner, at least around here. I think the 2G X is still a good, relatively compact size. For fun with numbers, a 2nd Gen X is ~179" long, ~73" wide, and ~75" tall (all of which are only 1-3" more than a...

Some great points. I keep several gloves in my truck. From latex gloves for clean-up and some cooking situations, to warm ones for cold weather, to a few types of work gloves for chainsaw work or working on the truck (or heck, even just filling up on the big rig side of a truck stop) but NONE...

No dispute, they're all great. I have an Xterra but @orange01z28 needs a 2 door JL. ;) -TJ

Overpack? Yes. -TJ

Very sorry for your loss. I think we've all been through it, and it's very, very hard. -TJ

Awesome! I love seeing a GMT400 getting used for Overlanding. -TJ

More exhaust progress: -TJ

No worries on the hijack, I love kicking around build ideas. ;) As for building the D30/44A honestly I think if you're not going too wild it's not bad. Sticking with your 33"s, doing trusses (and sleeves/gussets up front) and good axle shafts and of course lockers there's no reason that combo...

That's how it was when the 4.7 was still in it, which wasn't too bad. I honestly didn't get noticeable fumes in the cab, but still figured it'd be worth doing the longer exhaust w/ the 426cui Hemi. Haha, obviously there are times I think "why didn't I just do tons 'n forties?" I told myself...

Finish welding starts tomorrow: -TJ

Exhaust work continues. And I'm happy to report the exhaust guy is actually getting the exhaust pretty far back and out vs. just dumping under the rig at the end of the belly skid, as I expected (he asked me about the change, of course). Hopefully between this and the cats fumes on the trail...

I definitely listen to music while camping/Overlanding. That said, if I'm with new folks I always ask if they are okay with music before putting it on. My music taste is ALL over the place, but some of my current go-tos for camping are: Waylon Jennings Luckenbach Texas...

Out of those options I picked Driver Training, though I don't consider that an "upgrade to a rig" so the thread/poll aren't particularly accurate. I also wouldn't consider a first aid kit an "upgrade to a rig" but would consider it a requirement. As for actual rig mods the first, and most...

Howdy all, I stumbled into this thread doing my usual sweep of "New Posts" and it got me thinking. First, I wonder how the OP is doing, and how their journey into Overlanding has gone. Second despite some other challenges in life, I have my health and am very grateful for that. Now, I don't...

I just looked it up on onX and they rate it a 6... not that I give that much weight. But I suppose it was a bit tougher than I'm giving it credit for. A Jeep group had just come down while we were at the bottom waiting and they used spotting and I def heard some skid/slider contact. They...

Awesome, and thanks for the info! It definitely wasn't a challenge for the rig, we also took a totally stock (other than sliders) Tacoma TRD Off Road (not Pro) through and a 3rd Gen 4Runner that's basically stock height on +1" A/Ts but is locked front/rear (I think he just locked up the rear)...
