Duh, sorry I must not have had enough coffee when I first read your post! -TJ

I assume you're using a co2 detector when sleeping in your rig with it running? If not, please do. ;) Anyway, when I tent camp out of the WJ or X I have a 2,500Wh power supply and a basic heated blanket. I can run it on low (which is plenty so far) for at least 3 nights off the power...

I suppose it all depends on what sort of trips/trails you want to do. The Subi is pretty capable stock, and will handle most groomed "soft" roads with ease. As others have said, if you're going to do anything, it'd be tires first. Something that won't slice or puncture easily on sharp rocks...

Tires (which you're already doing) and armor (the extent will depend on what type of trails you plan). The rest is just extra (coming from a guy with a Hemi-swapped, long-arm WJ and a solid axle-swapped D'max ;) :) ). -TJ

The holiday stalled-out assembly, the pistons rods are all together but waiting on the proper ring compressor for the somewhat unusual bore (well, for us former LS-junkies): We also threw the stock 6.1 cam in a cam-doctor, if you recall the internets says it should be 221/225 at 0.571/0.551 on...

Yeah, I was more thinking if I could fit it in the little cubby just inside the door of my FWC. I need to go grab a measurement... -TJ

Funny I clicked into this thread to comment something like "great platform" and thought to check if I had earlier, and sure enough I had! The funny thing is since then I moved back to a full size for Overlanding myself: Going back to a Full Size for my Overlanding Anyway, I'm sure the new...

Do you know how tall it is? They sort of left it off their dimension pics: -TJ

Thanks for the response Dave! FWIW the pic above was on White Rim trail at Moab. I imagine you've run it, just as a gauge I didn't find anything on it challenging nor did the truck. I'll research the trails on this trip more but it sounds like we should be good. As far as camping spots, I...

Hey @Dave Purvis I'm interested in joining you for the trip, but want to make sure my rig is suitable: It's a 2011 Silverado 2500HD (Duramax/Allison) with a solid front axle conversion (WFO radius-arm kit with a '05+ Super Duty Dana 60 and Fox coil overs), 37x13.5" M/Ts, 4.56s, ARBs front and...

It should be decently spicy... as mentioned I'm running the stock 6.1 SRT8 heads, cam (which is small for the 426 cubic inches this thing is, but should be a torque monster, it's 221/225, 0.571/0.551 on around a 117 which is actually bigger than Comp's first couple aftermarket cams for the...

That's completely wrong. Look up "fullsizeinvasion" on IG. I run a '11 Silverado 2500 with a Fourwheel Camper on the back, it's solid front axle swapped and has 37"s, 4.56s, and ARBs front and rear. I do some pretty "hardcore" trails with a camper on the back... -TJ

I prob should explain the longblock you see *in* the Jeep in the engine mount pics is a bad 5.7 junkyard motor for mock-up. There are no additional inspection holes in the 5.7, so when the project is all done I might just refresh it to sell... or a future project? I sure would like to find a...

426 GenIII finally starting to come together, everything is done at the machine shop and back in our hands: Bore is 4.065" using street/high performance gap we come to: 0.0183 for top and 0.0224 for bottom so we'll go 0.02/0.024 top/bottom: Obviously the assembly was...

I lived in NZ for a few years, more or less and I really miss it. Doing a multi-week Overland trip through NZ someday is on my "bucket list." -TJ

Pretty cool seeing a brand new Lexus get built to go out and use. I look forward to seeing it in action... -TJ

Right on, I'll send you my contact info. -TJ

I have to do Baja sometime, it looks great! -TJ

Awesome, I'll definitely take you up on that sometime. I'm trying to put something together for Mon-Wed before TDay, maybe Gold Butte. Have you explored out there? And yes, I'll be in Vegas for Thanksgiving. -TJ
