    Help with cold weather trip

    You could also pick up a Mr. Heater Buddy propane heater and a few bottles as extra insurance.

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    I love living here. Sucks coming into OB and reading through politically charged BS though. There are other forums available to vent your hatred.

    2018 Chevy Colorado Z71

    Generally speaking ATs are better than MTs in deep sand. You want to float on sand, not dig down. A lot will depend on specfic tire design but more depends on tire pressure and sand conditions. For someone like @great08 I wouldn't recommend MTs for his current driving patterns. :) If he starts...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It's almost funny how we can still suffer from wisdom we learned so long ago. lol I'm heading to Roseville around 2 and can swing by if you need a hand.

    Fake Overlanding?

    This is exactly what I wanted to say but couldn't put it into words.

    Fake Overlanding?

    Even when I did it in my Prius? :tonguewink:

    Fake Overlanding?

    I agree bro. I usually avoid threads with a negative tone like this but I feel it's important to support anyone who enjoys the outdoors responsibly no matter how expensive or cheap their gear is. The more people enjoy trails the more they will fight to protect them and keep them clean and open. :)

    2018 GMC Canyon MTB/Overland/Adventure Rig

    I moved my GMRS mic to the sunglasses holder. I used velcro for 1 trip to see if I liked it better than mounted on the dash to the left of the stereo and it was much easier to grab and replace while driving without taking my eyes off the road. I can also activate it and talk without removing it...

    2019 Silverado Trail Boss Build

    You can look at the Chassis Unlimited universal kits. Just figure out what length you need. Any good welder can put them together for you then you can paint them yourself or powder coat. A lot of the 2nd Gen Colorado/Canyon folks did that before other brands became available. Just avoid anything...

    2019 Ford Ranger, Walker Texas Ranger

    Definitely! Ohh and double check those RR sliders. For my truck they mount to the frame AND the body. You don't want that. Stick to frame mount only or you risk damaging the body. There's another Ranger build in here and he just posted pics of another brand that's worth looking into. There are...

    Makes sense. Our trucks do the same thing without a load in the bed. 50lb Sand bags really help. :)

    2019 Ford Ranger, Walker Texas Ranger

    I look forward to this build. I'd put rock sliders high, very high, on your list as well as any skid plates you don't currently have. Long wheelbase vehicles tend to have breakover issues and sliders are extreamely helpful!

    Another Subaru Build Thread

    Ok I'm confused. He said his car is wallowing and feels like it's overcompensating. That implies the suspension is very soft and bouncing in an uncontrolled manner when he hits bumps. Overly stiff springs with not enough load on them don't do that, they just make the ride harsh.
