    Real life experience Fox 2.0 coil over lift

    What vehicle and what kind of use will they be put under? Do you hop on trails once in a while, every day, rock crawl, desert running, etc? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Build Up in Oil Filter?

    Sounds logical. I wouldn’t worry about it unless you see it again during the next oil change or if your engine idles or revs abnormally.

    15 / 91 Rigs & Coffee - 02/10/2018

    I’m not sure how many people would be able to go and weather/trail permitting... but I’d be up for running up Bedford to the peak of Mt Santiago after the meet Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Build Up in Oil Filter?

    It’s not metallic = no major damage to worry about. Other fluids don’t mix well with oil so you’d notice if it was coolant or another substance. How many miles are on the jeep? It could certainly be buildup. Are you sure the last oil used was the correct weight? I would run it on the new oil...

    48 Hrs Free - Ideas heading out from LAX

    Depends on your timeline to be honest. The shining star would be Death Valley but that would take you a solid 1/2 day to get out there assuming you didn’t land during rush hour traffic, and 1/2 day to come back. Wouldn’t be the worst idea, it would just limit your trip to only that site. There...

    Socal Meet up in Orange County?

    There are turnout sections but they definitely won't fit multiple vehicles. If 1 person had to wait for the group to pass then no biggie, but if another group of 3 or more is there that day... could cause a time consuming cluster of backing up and going around. There are also OHV riders out...

    BFG All Terrain KO2s

    Typically the people who throw the negativity hammer down on tires without mentioning the positives as well as negatives are the ones who had a bad experience either with the tires or with the place they bought them from. I recently switched from Coopers to KO2's and while I'd mention my...

    Socal Meet up in Orange County?

    I just ran Cleghorn to Silverwood and then up to Arrowhead on Sunday and it was a blast. Plenty of easy/medium/hard paths that you can test your rig on. I wanted to take 3N16 all the way to Pine Flats and Big Bear but the day grew short and I didn't want to risk a breakdown going solo in the...

    FX4 Ranger Build

    I don't want to say don't trust the guy, but do some research and make sure he knows what he's doing. Suspension is tricky and takes a fair amount of mathematical knowledge to properly build. The big name companies like TC, Fabtech, Camburg, etc.. all use jigs to ensure proper fitment and...

    FX4 Ranger Build

    I agree with Raul. A strut won't do much in terms of ride height. That's determined by your torsion bars. Other than cranking those down to increase the height, your only other option would be to upgrade to coilovers which can be a little costly. Love the truck [emoji1360] I used to have an...

    Big Bear 7-21 to 7-23

    Skyline Dr or skyline trail is always a fun time. It's basically a fire road and cruises along the top of snow summit giving you great views of the range to the south. It starts right at Bear Mtn. resort and pops out by the Alpine slides on the western side of Big Bear. Sent from my iPhone...

    Suspension help

    There's ways you can "increase ride height" and ways you can "correct it". Please please only correct it. For this you can replace or add to the leaf packs in the rear along with replacing the shocks with ones valved for the added weight. If you were to just increase it with things such as...

    Tire Recommendations for F150

    I'd like to find alternatives to help other brands but I can't seem to find any that perform on par with KO2's or have the same level of reliability Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Tire Recommendations for F150

    I'm about to pick up the ko2 315/70/17's e-rated this weekend for my 2010 super cab with the bilstein 5100 adjustables for a nice level. I'll make sure to post pictures with full wheel lock. I currently have Cooper ATP's standard load and to be honest, unimpressed. I'm on my 3rd bad tire...

    SoCal Overlanders Roll Call :)

    For the most part, all of the motor trails in the CNF are. Just expect to get some pin striping down the sides of your rig in the tighter sections. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
