Did the other thread die days ago and nobody even noticed? Once that guy with the Cherokee stopped posting, this general has been dead.

>>28647540
"that guy" was a massive faggot that made up half the content in the thread and ran everyone else off. let it heal

>>28647540
i miss the jeep content. his only fault was replying to the no truck having fag that shitted up the thread without contributing anything.

>>28647550
He never said anything weird or gay itt. People always pointed to years old threads on different boards that I didn't give a shit about.
>>28647560
The trolls were unbearable. He actually posted cool OC of wrenching, trails, camping, custom night vision light bars, diesel swaps. I just don't understand all the haters. Especially when we're all middle-aged now.

>>28647613
I'm sure theyre holding a public funeral where you can go suck his cock one last time

Trip back on dogfucker. No one misses you

>>28647560
half the time he was samefagging trying to generate drama, even impersonated other tripfags

good riddance

Anyone hit trails in Indiana?

>>28650016
There aren't any

>>28647613
He said faggy/furry shit constantly.
His builds were trash. They were barely functional meth fueled abominations. He heavily cropped his pics to hide his fuckups and garbage fabrication- sometimes he'd accidentally let evidence slip through and then ignore questions or critiques of it.
He literally drove around in a truck with no interior or instrument cluster with trash on the floor and said it was his favorite truck.

Dude was a scumbag tweaker AIDS riddled faggot. Im glad hes back in jail.

>>28650122
wait is this bigc or s10fag? the former i always found it odd how much he'd fly off his handle if your opinion differed even slightly from his, it just became impossible to talk to him outside of just riling him up for lulz. and if it wasn't that, he'd somehow make everything about him lol.

>>28650135
Im neither of those dipshits.
Bigc was just a troll, s10fag was a fucking moron. I honestly tried to help him many times but he was such a worthless waste of oxygen that I gave up and joined the choir.
And everything I said about the dogfucker stands.

>>28650155
oh i wasn't asking if you were one of them, i was asking if you were talking about them.
there's only so much you can do to help someone, if they constantly ignore your advice all you can really do is shrug and go about the rest of your day

>>28650160
I actually try to share my knowledge and help people on this forum but everytime s10 entered the thread I turned into pic related.

>>28650165
No one really gives a fuck about your save a tard program. Tards are for laughs, retard.

Are leaf springs under tension with the car jacked up? I would assume not, but I have to unbolt it from the front shackle and want to make sure I'm not dealing with an angry slab of potential energy

>>28650621
If the frame is supported and the axle is hanging from the leaf packs then theyre under "reverse tension".
I would suggest supporting the frame and then moving the jack to the axle. You'll know when its at relatively neutral tension by how the hangers behave.

>>28650626
Noted, thanks anon
I've never owned a vehicle with leafs until now

>>28650034

explain this map to me, are the red parts places you can offroad in?

>>28651111
Yes, mostly. Some of the red is military, Indian reservations, and wildlife refuge/research areas. The rest is BLM and state and national parks. You're pretty free to do what you like in the BLM areas

>>28651109
Yeah man, it's hard to get into offroading when you live east of the Rockies.

>>28650631
Just to add-
When you unbolt the shackle you can adjust the diff height until theres no tension on the bolt to pop it out without having to take a sledge hammer to it.

>>28651154
I ride my quad to the gas station.
During deer season I've seen a dozen SxSs at the gas station (no cars or trucks).
We dont need BLM land because everyone knows someone with property. I have my own 15 acre dirt bike track in my backyard.

Why are kia/hyundai drivers so low IQ?

>>28652962
It's a rental, red tags. I would want to know what their tow bill comes to. Black bear is a fun pass, it's unfortunately being ruined by retards.

>>28652962
Because they bought a fucking kia/hyundai?

How the hell do I pick a tire size when there's a range of like a dozen that will fit?
Stock is 205/75r15, but currently have 31x10.5r15s
Was thinking of just going in the middle and grabbing 235/75s

>>28653683
I just check the forum for whatever vehicle it is and see what other people did. For my 4x4, I put the biggest tires that people said would fit without any trimming or lift needed.

>>28650155
Take a seat and tell us how the namefags hurt you. It sounds very personal. Did they cum on your face after you helped jerk them off?

>>28653726
Part of the problem is I don't know how big of a lift is on it, and it's a very underpowered car

>>28653683
Cut out cardboard tyre mock ups, remove shock, bolt up template and move suspension around to see if it rubs, if yes apply 3lb sledge and osculating tool.

I am getting a tt lsd for my 4x2. What am I in for?

i always forget to take pics while i'm out so you can have pics of my bending and painting the skid plates during my oil change

>>28654729
My man!
Whenever I pull something I clean and paint the support components.
>swapping out the transmission?
>scrape all the grease off the cross member thats sitting in the driveway and give it a fresh coat of paint!
I dont understand why this isnt SOP..
You had a leaking transmission.
The cross member is gross because of it.
Both are out of the car.
Wait- youre putting in a new transmission and bolting up the nasty, oil covered cross member ?!
Now your arms are covered in grease after installing a new component, thats also covered in greasy handprints now...

I just dont get it.

>>28654729
>i always forget to take pics while i'm out
Same, I am always enjoying wheeling and don't want to stop and get out just to take a picture.

>>28654854
Yeah

>>28654854
it do be like that

My Michelin Defenders LTXs got chewed up pretty bad by going up a trail full of picrel mountain shale.
What're some good tires that:
Stay quiet on the highway
Throw gravel away from my crying, sobbing, sniveling wheel wells
Don't get chewed up to hell and back in picrel

>>28663318
would've just drilled some holes in a trash can lid and bolted them on if nothing else, Yota really does enjoy assraping their customers.

have to get an intermediate steering shaft soon and my choices are chinesium pot metal amazog brand for $77 or OEM Toyota for $380

:(

>>28663332
Don't get me started on the $6 seal (not for sale by Totota) that they want you to spend $2k (or fuck it whole new transfer case, 5k!) to repair.
Got a 4 pk of the seals for $20

>>28663373
I genuinely think they do this in some cases to make repair cost-prohibitive and thus the user is more likely to just buy a new vehicle. It's why I tend to avoid stealerships, especially now. Some stuff I just can't do myself and it needs 2 people and a lift though, so hard to find a decent private shop too. All they want to do is oil changes and tire rotations, ask them for anything more complex and they start making excuses OR they fuck it up and you're worse off for having hired them.

I can't wait to start offroading, bros...
there are so many trails near me and I actually have a proper offroader now, I'm just fixing it up because it was horribly neglected

>>28663425
based, once you start it'll become addicting and you'll wanna froad every weekend. i love it but sadly my local trails have been infested with drunk hicks in RAM1500s lately, they're actually a danger to other people and i might have to do something about them.

How do I find a good TJ and not get burned?

>>28663987
Look for a collector's TJ, ideally one owned by a boomer that remains unmodified and was basically just a summer toy for them. They are rare but they are out there. Anything else is going to be someone's daily driver which was then bought up by offroaders who modified and beat on it, and it will show.

There's no "middle of the road" TJs left unfortunately, it's all beaten high mileage modified stuff or pristine low mileage stuff that will cost you more money.

Ideally look for something from Texas, Arizona, Nevada, or New Mexico as TJs do have rust issues and these are the cleanest territories.

>>28664018
>There's no "middle of the road" TJs left unfortunately
There are.
That in-between stage where someone bought it from a boomer, modded it but only drove it to work on fridays. Not exactly common but dont walk away from one with a lift that you've only seen pictures of. There's a chance it just has some bolt-ons and never made it off asphalt.

>>28664026
I can't see anyone doing that with a TJ, they're too old and coveted for a normie to turn them into a pavement princess. If you were looking for a JK or JL I'd agree, definitely tons of those with a little lift and KO2s that have never left paved roads.

Are XJs still popular or has the meme value died down enough that it's worth looking for one to offroad?

>>28665155
They'll always cost more than other 4x4s of the same year/class because it's the only one with a solid front axle.

>>28665166
oh shit you just kicked the hornet's nest.
sedan-suspension anon bouta chime in real quick

>>28665166
hmmm interesting. I know they're unibody too, kind of a unique pairing considering most stuff is SFA and BOF or IFS and unibody.

How do I get my friends in our mid to late twenties to go off roading more? We all have 4x4's!! Pickup trucks and SUVs. Hardly any are modified really, other than a loud exhaust and smoked out interiors cause of cigs. Most have street tires and wornout suspension. I cant think of a good excuse to go off roading other than shooting or camping twice a year. I wish tires and gas were cheaper. FUCK we are all broke and mentally exhuasted at the end of the week!

Don’t know if this really applies to /org/ but I thought you fellas might like this pic from a tractor pull event. This shit was electric. And yes that’s a hole in the headlight for an intake. His stack literally blew off out of the bed when he got to the end of the pull.

>>28666430
>this shit was electric

I'm 99% sure that's a diesel

The Honda Ridgeline is the greatest truck ever made.

There is no need to be upset.

What tools/parts do you guys bring with you when offroading?
not just basic wrenches and ratchets, but shit like shovels, jacks, traction boards, cv axles, etc

>>28666671

Tool bag with impact wrench, spare battery, deep sockets, vise grips, pliers, adjustable wrench, mini sledge, pry bar, screwdrivers, hex keys, ratchet with regular sockets (3/8 drive), bottle jack, various pieces of 2x4 and 2x6 for platforming the jack or using to bash stuff free, smol shovel, big shovel, ComeAlong, chain, MaxTrax, NOCO booster pack, air compressor, flat tire repair kit, spare tire, tow straps, fire extinguisher, breaker bar, folding saw, hatchet.

As far as parts I bring spare fluids, some assorted chunks of flexible lines and rigid lines, hose clamps, stove wire, zip ties, o-rings, assorted nuts, bolts, and washers, JB weld (fuel safe one), some lubes, duct tape, MagicWrap (in case a line starts leaking), assorted fuses, paracord,

I don't bring any spare parts like CV axles, if one ever did break you can always disconnect and remove it and limp home in 3WD drive.

Might be forgetting some stuff but that's my usual handtool and parts loadout that fits into two .50cal ammo containers and a regular sized HUSKY tool bag.

>>28666328
Naw.
Just a twig from the last trip offroad.
I mean, you dont think someone would be retarded enough to route a brake line 2 feet through the air between the frame and hub on a long travel vehicle that was built to plow through desert scrub, right?
I mean, that would juat be fucking stupid.
>I posted the pic btw.

>>28666688
That's a lot of stuff

>>28666786
It is but it all fits nicely into the vehicle and surprisingly doesn't take up much space. The big shovel and MaxTrax goes on the roof, everything else basically takes up the equivalent physical space of 1 human inside the vehicle.
My vehicle has over 200,000km on it, trail repairs are just part and parcel.

Iirc the 2200 is a rebadged Courier and the 2600 is a Mazda thats generally based off the Courier (because Mazda cant into trucks).
Design isnt an issue if youre looking at buying one, its all about maintenance and abuse its seen over the decades as an individual.

Congratulations on your newest great-grandchild :-)

Should I put offroad tires on these rims or will I need new wheels entirely?

>>28677064
They look like +35 offset so much fatter meats will rub without spacers (or negative offset aftermarket wheels). This can be slightly mitigated by going narrower when increasing radius. Or take a sledge to the wheelwells

>>28677176
ganghaps I will need a lift. This is a crosstrek (I haven't bought yet but plan to)

>>28677412
Can look into no lift lifts too. Just apply multitool and sledge

Finally managed to finish my rear seat delete.
I already had removed the backrest and the cushion last year only keeping the metal frame of the bench part. But that was far from being perfect.
I had this metal grating laying around the rest was a few hours with angle grinder, stick welder and rattle cans.
>inb4 why didn't you just use wood?
I wanted something that allows me to use smol ratchet straps just how I need it depending on what I gotta haul on the bench. Also wood connected with screws tends to become a squeaky nuisance

>>28666688

Do you run all terrain, rugged terrain, or mud terrain tires? Have you tried different kinds?

>>28686496
This guy was having same intermittent lean bank 1 and 2 and after replacing basically everything he found vac leak around air intake control valve shaft so I guess Ill check this.
MAF seems fine. Vac lines don't seem dry rotted but are all 20y old. O2 sensors probably need replacing when I do headers.

Sometimes I hear tires while driving on the highway and I don't want those. And I don't care about chunky treads for aesthetics. And pic related with just some snow on it can be easily handled by normal all terrains or even highway-biased all terrrains. It's more the roads with big rocks in them and ruts, and of course, actual mud, that makes me wonder about MT.

>>28689005
I guess it's a hybrid of AT and MT.
That does look like some serious mud. I've somehow never really ended up in a super muddy place. Like I did do an iced over road with lots of ruts and some mud, and noticed the all terrains don't grip nearly as well in real mud.

>>28689024
that is NOT gonna work on the highway.

Do you guys deflate your tires on rough roads? If so, what do you use to re-inflate the tires?

>>28692216
Deflating tires is only for more surface area for traction when climbing over boulders or traversing sand.
Having low pressure on "rough" roads while traveling at nominal speed is more likely to cause tire damage.

>>28692216
Yeah the Baja Boss' are ATs with an MT sidewall cutter. Absolutely eats deep snow.
That mud isn't too deep, gone through double that. Buried the tyres completely in water a few times without issue.

I know a guy who's last name was Montero and he bought one new. Always thought that was so cool as a kid

Bought a 97 Tacoma last week, haven’t had a 4x4 in 5 years since my 4Runner was written off. It needs some de-shitboxing. Previous owner made some ugly bumpers for it, pretty sure he welded the front to the frame. Rear brakes are looped off, fronts are pretty fucked. Truck is straight piped. It has nice wheels on it, but they’re 18”s off of a Chevy with wide 33”s on them and they rub at full lock.

I bought 235/85r15 pizza cutters, the Toyo spec chart said 32” tall, but rolling them up I think I probably could’ve gone a lot bigger.

I’ll post a pic of my new shitbox when it’s light out.
