Nice! Crown king is a cool place

Time for an update: I daily drove the Hummer for about 2 weeks. My wife’s car was hit in the parking lot when she was grocery shopping. So it went to the body shop…and we opted out of rental car coverage because it’s an unnecessary expense when you have a lot of NFT’s. As a proud owner of 2...

Hey Jimmy, Can you use the factory v8 shroud still after moving it forward 3/4-1in?

They are. I tried spicer, Moog, and I think Mevotech. It was years ago so I’m going off memory.

All the comparisons in these posts are based off of a K5 with 38in tires. Like mentioned. Many “easy” trails have crazy lines too so choose your path. Woody is a local and runs ih8mud (land cruiser forum) and has a portal rear steer buggy and cut some of these trails. He mentions a full body...

Luck would have it that someone started talking in a thread about sand hollow maps on another forum. I didn’t realize cartotracks now has a sand hollow map (under sand mountain) but cartotracks is not a free map though. It’s $20 a year with updates each time it gets updated. You can probably...

I’m sure many people have, even if it isn’t in an H2 and in a Chevy 2500-3500

Looks like American Iron off-road is starting to work on old school Dana 44 ball joint eliminators. I am not a fan of balljoints to begin with. I much prefer kingpins but I have always felt the old school dana 44 balljoint options were never great and I would wear through them regularly...

I’ll also chime in that there has been major trail changes from monsoon season. It’s been said that the changes have never been this great. Some have gotten harder, some easier. I’m not sure where that puts trail ratings. Triple 7s was rated a 7 and I just saw that it’s now an 8. So I’m...

I can chime in on trails. It’s been a couple years but I’m hoping the mapping system and trail markers have improved. The trails are great and I think a step above Moab but holy crap they could be tough to find and tough to stick to as there can be a ton of turnoffs to other trails. The...

I’m still stuck in the Stone Age with a 301 pc hard case from Harbor freight. Trail tools get loaned out, lost, borrowed forever, etc. so that’s why I went HF. Admittedly I can’t think of many occasions of breaking them either. I then have an ammo can of specialty tools. Dana 44 hub socket...

Also remember the further the tube sticks out the more leverage there is to bend the legs. I’d do the tube sticking out but keep it minimal

If I’m spending more money I expect less problems. Maybe I’m off base here…

I disagree on the clickbait and will agree to disagree on that. Matt’s off-road recovery is a perfect example of clickbait. “I almost died!!!” Watch the video and he told a 2 minute story of how he thought was going to die in some situation that happened years ago. It wasn’t anything involving...

If I didn’t follow them for years I would probably agree. Their tests have always been real world experiences.

I have been a fan of this channel for a long time. They don’t seem biased, they do factual tests, and will list pros and cons for what they are. I get that there will be a learning curve with EV….but that is not the job of the consumer to be a test mule. It seems like the auto makers are pushing...

I’ll get pics later from Idaho Tuff Truck Challenge but I wanted to give an update on my front sway bar. I finished my Currie anti rock sway bar back a few months ago but took it back off almost immediately, I didn’t want to be messing with it on the trips far away from home. When I did some...

I threw a straight piece of tube on the tie rod and it isn’t bent. Give me a year max and we will know if this tie rod is good or not.

Goodyear bought Cooper. Pricing for tires is flat out stupid right now. Record price increases across the board in the past 2 years. I see that trend slowly down. The price increases were so often and so fast it was tough to compare apples to apples. One brand is usually a month behind or...

I use the valentine V1 and it has saved me multiple times. I don’t use it in the Hummer or F550. Just the work car
