    Snorkel, water.. Why?

    Snorkels are meant for more than just water crossings, they help get the intake up and out of dust and other airborne debris. If you want to make your vehicle more water proof, then look into completely sealing off the whole intake system. Also sealing the ecu and other electronics in watertight...

    If you could change/re-do one modification

    I have had mine for about as long. Not to hate on the company, they do make pretty good products, but I had issues with it from the day the package arrived. They forgot to add the replacement bolts so I had to wait a month for them to resend them, then they sent the improper ones that were to...

    If you could change/re-do one modification

    We have all probably been in the position where you purchase or make a modification to your rig and you end up disappointed with it. If you could go and change or re-do one modification that you have done to your vehicle what would it be and why? Mine would be the Purple Cranium rear diff...

    Worst stuck

    @MarkW the leaf spring hangers definitely get in the way. I still need to get the skids for the shock mount to help but changing the hanger would be more beneficial. Interested to see how your modification goes!

    2nd Annual Family Overland Trip

    How did the border crossing go with your dog? I've heard nightmares about animals having to be quarantined for extended periods of time... I'd like to head up to Canada with our two dogs and was curious how yours went.

    Do you need bead lock wheels for overlanding?

    @Masheen365 I've heard that the bolts can become corroded, in certain states they are illegal for road use, if you take the ring off the tire needs rebalanced, and they require a little more maintenance (checking bolt torque regularly). This is all hearsay though.

    Do you need bead lock wheels for overlanding?

    I don't have bead locks on my vehicle and never had an issue when I air down. I never take the tires below 20 psi since they already have a large surface area (35x12.5 tires). I've rock crawled and have tackled various terrains without problems, knock on wood. They are useful if you want to take...

    A weekend in the High Country

    Great photos! Utv's have become a nuisance where I live as well. They seem to be the ones going off trail and creating ruts and other damage on marked trails.

    What Trail Condition Do You Fear The Most?

    I hated the random very soft sand patches when I was on the beach. Now I hate mud that has a thin crust of dried earth that breaks when weight is placed on it and instantly bogs vehicles. It suctions the vehicle down so breaking free is very difficult and tires won't clear properly.
