What's with all modern trucks having 20 inch wheels? I saw a Silverado with a z71 offroad trim today with 20 inch wheels and I thought how that would deal hitting a rock.

>there are still people that think traction control, badges, AWD, and muh modern engineering are viable replacements for oversize tires, wheel travel, low range, and lockers in for general 4x4ing

Really, this is something so minor it should not even be considered an obstacle, and it was beyond what a new Jeep can do in a controlled and repeatable manner.

Why the ever living hell would you consider a 3.0 Ranger? It gets similar gas mileage to Taynger's 4.0 and like 25% less power.
This is with her driving insane amounts of km. With the 4.3, at least you get that torque and potential for a 4x4 transfer case addition.
Also, you can always resell it for monies.

Hey. I'll be dropping by Peterborough (and so Boundary) on Saturday and Monday. Hop on Discord.

My experience with my brothers unmodified 2007 FX4 Level II automatic with the towing package which goes though gas slightly quicker than my S10 is what made me want the 3.0. Now I realize that 15MPG isn't that bad. Song related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJBtqAM85zg

This truck is in better condition than every single S10 I've seen on Kijiji so while I'm sure I could sell it for more than the 4K I payed for it, being able to turn every bolt without fear and not having to deal with shitloads of rust like my old Impala is nice. I'm also gonna wait until I can afford a mint double cab ZR2 S10. I'll be at Mosport all weekend and I'm gonna be working on spraying rubber undercoating in my driveway for the next little bit and cleaning up some other rust so I won't be putting mud on her for a bit.

Say whatnow?

I see what you guys meant by making sure to remove the filler plug first, as its fucking impossible to get any leverage on the breaker bar when you're on the floor, under the truck and lying at an angle. My Ryobi impact once again proves itself to be a damned good investment

>>17230187
Protip: give the plugs a good whack with a heavy flat hammer first and use a hex (impact driver) socket with a long handle for leverage.
If you dont have a long handle use a piece of hollow pipe.

Also your mom is gay.

Damn right she is, what a fag

It came out right away with the impact, no trouble. Cleaned the seating area, used some fresh oil to lube the thread of the bolts and looks good so far

The rear does seem less noisy now, and there was a very faint rattle when I went WOT in 1st, which is now completely gone

Would it be a bad idea to buy a 4wd (think landcruiser/pathfinder) for a first car?
I've never been off-roading, let alone driven a car bigger than a Camry, but im oddly drawn to those big 4wds

If you're not going to offroad it, you will be absolutely obliterating gas. Especially with British MPG relative to other cars.
Apparently 25MPG is "bad" there whilst stock Land Cruisers get like 18MPG.

>got a pretty good deal on a new 2 me Suburban

Like I ever actually used 4WD in previous vehicles anyway. Still has a selector button for 4LO though. See how this stuff works out.

>>17231200
If I'm upgrading something I'll look at Off-Road Warehouse, Low-Range Offroad, Wheeler's Offroad, or I'll check the manufacturer's website if it's armor, shocks, etc.

For replacement/oem parts, I'll use RockAuto or any of those online parts houses

Not him but I've got one on mine that was made locally. It's floppy as shit and a pain to use with the barn doors in the location he used for hinge. I ended up moving my spare to the roof basket for now, and I'll probably beef this one up a little bit and sell it. Might make my own or I might adapt an ARB to make a rear winch bumper and improve departure angle.

>Why in God's name would the idiot put the tire hinge there?
Because he's a fucking retard. I drew up a 3D model of what I wanted for him, the finished product doesn't look anything like it.
He claimed it was so it wouldn't block the tail light, but now it blocks the door. I don't know why he didn't just make it a few inches shorter. I gave him all the measurements for everything including bolt pattern for the wheel and frame shape, dimensions, and bumper bolt locations. Yet he still made the backing plate for the spare and the frame mount plates too small and used too thin a gauge of steel for pretty much everything.

>Specifically the DB2 conversion...
Well the 6.5 I bought was already DB2. I need to buy 96+ accessory brackets for it and find the right TCM. Local scrapyard is parting HMMWVs so hopefully they'll sell a TCM separately.

I'm starting to get some of the parts cleaned up and painted. Haven't really bought much for it lately other than a Glowshift tripple pod pillar and gauges.
I got the engine on a stand and tore it down a little bit more but no major progress.

Rusted cylinder walls obviously didn't seize it because it still turns over by hand fairly easily. I coated everything in oil to keep it from getting any worse. I'm considering boring it out to a 6.6 and buying the lower compression pistons...

>>17232970
Its not all about river crossings.
Engines love clean and cool air, snorkels give you cleaner and cooler air than a standard intake.
My aifilter gets nowhere near as dirty after installing a snorkel.
Also the day you want it for a river crossing you will be glad, I avoid them in general but rivers can rise ya know.
At the very least install diff breathers yourself, cheap and easy.

Ask a guy who just dunked his Land Cruiser in a River anything.

First question:
Would a snorkel have helped?
Yes. Yes it would've.

File: end of the line.jpg (73KB, 960x720px) Image search: [Google]

73KB, 960x720px

So would've:
waterproofing the fuse box, relocating the horn, sealing the doors, relocating the security box, a bunch of other shit

Spent one hour fixing a cylinder misfire and potential air intake issues with clamps and sensors. The main thing about the snorkel is it removes the need for the giant pot that is the "air filter" cleaner. This localises the cold air intake to the top of the vehicle and away from the residual heat rising from the exhaust manifold. You can accomplish a similar thing with a moved cold air intake, large amounts of heat padding, or a different cold air intake. But none of these options are under $200 and all take more than 2 hours to fuck around with. The snorkel I bought was $69.99 and installation is only as difficult as the hole measurement.

Mud moved and dug myself a ft. deeper than it looked. Water flooded in and released a bunch of mud gremlins within the span of 5 seconds.

I'm not too upset. It just expedeited issues that would've needed fixing down the line, anyway. Things like a front axle rebuild, total carpet cleaning, electronics rewiring and relocation, and waterproofing the entire engine bay.

Guys

Any SUV can tow a 950KG/2000lbs Miata right?

>>17233880
No.

What are your specs of the tow rig, country/state, trailer setup, and the wiring harness?

I'm in the United Kingdom. I'm going to be pulling a Miata that's propped onto a towing dolly to race tracks around the country.

It's just a £300 dolly that's rated for up to 2000kg. Looks a bit like pic related.

I'm just looking for a cheap reliable vehicle that I can use to tow it. Doesn't have to be an SUV, but I like the utility of one.

>>17233949
just make sure its rated to tow at least 1.5 tonnes, which most can. Even wagons can tow that much, so maybe look into those, or a ute

>>17234022
Yeah alright I'm looking into them, cheers.

I'm looking for a compact SUV that I could take off road. The Chevy Niva looks great but it doesn't seem to be available in Burgerland. Is the Jeep Renegade a good car?
Ideally I'm looking for something that has has decent mileage for long road trips, but I can still take off-road. Boxy aesthetic is plus.

If you don't want to drill all the way through the wall, then you will have to fab some sort of mount that can be attached, or buy one of the various pre-made mounts. The rail type mounts are common for mounting on truck bed walls.

Well your info is wrong. The XJ only had I4s and V6s up until 1987, when they added the 4.0L I6. The 4.2 was never installed from the factory.

Yes!
It was 115 in the valley and 68 on the summit!
I had the top to myself. Only saw one other hiker that day.
The highlight was that a military jet saw me on the summit. I waved my arms and made a down motion for a fly by.
He came right at me and tilted the plane vertical and flew level with me just off the summit. He then straightened the plan horizontal and accelerated. The wash knocked me off balance and almost knocked me down.
He came so close that I could make out details in the cockpit. It F'n rocked!
The views into both Death Valley and Panamint Valley are outstanding.

Would it be worth it to have mismatched tires until I buy my coopers or should I just not bother and sell the KOs to put the money towards my next set of tires?

>>17240546

You should keep them as spares because if you do any amount of time offroad you're going to destroy some tires.

So I found a 4runner SR5 with lockers, manual transmission, 4x4 for a price im willing to pay.

Heres the catch, talked to the guy and he said the body has around 230 on the frame, but they just swapped out the engine. Confirmed this with the service records and saw good reviews for the place that did it. 150k on the new engine.

Also had transmission work done.

Should I do it /o/, am I good? (I plan on dailying it)

Put em on the rear and you'll notice a pretty big difference. Those are the only ones with "traction", anyway. Once these "wear out", then buy a set of coopers or the duratracs.

>>17240599
I carry a spare, patch kit, and tyre pump every time I overland. Carrying two is just unecessary.

Also, it's not being a dick if you know the people you are calling. Especially if one or another owes you some favours from doing a few other "road side assistance" measures in the past.

Oh I also got these used KC lights someone ripped off their Jeep for $200. 2x 100W and 2x 55W. They're a bit bigger than I want them to be but considering new KC 100Ws are $250 alone, paying 150USD for 4 lights that are 1 year old really isn't bad

Guys, I'm thinking about going to pismo beach this next weekend.

The thing is, I'm in the process of repairing everything on my truck and it wont have any front drivetrain in it in time.
And the truck weighs like 5500lbs too.
I'll have enough power to keep it going though if it wants to.

How fucked will I be with just 34 in M/Ts and a locker?

Jeep really only puts effort into three lines: Grand Cherokee, Cherokee (less so recently) and Wrangler. Everything else is suspect from an R&D perspective in my book. Trailhawk Editions of some lesser Jeep are decently capable but built on fairly crappy base vehicles to start with.

An old 4.0 Cherokee XJ is pretty bulletproof, though, and can be modded to hell. But it's pre '08. Is this a financing thing?

Sold and serviced used cars or 4 years, for what it's worth.

Anyway, if you want an off-road car the bank will finance (forgive me if my assumption is wrong) your best bet is Toyota (take your pick from FJ, 4runner, Taco, Cruiser, Tundra), Jeep Wrangler, Ford Ranger (hard to find and kinda pricey), Silverado/Sierra, and maaaaaaaybe an Ecoboost F150 or Trailhawk Cherokee/Renegade. In kinda that order (knock down Cruiser and Tundra a few spots for me due to my preference for smaller 4x4s). Those are my picks anyway. I'm kinda high, so I probably left out a glaringly obvious choice or two. Someone will be along soon, no doubt, to correct me most vociferously.

Canada is fucking dildoes for pricing. I was looking for some PIAA 520 fogs, most places want $250-350+ for a pair. Fucking outrageous.

Or maybe just stay in America forever, sure beats this liberal shithole.

>>17245984
I bought a land cruiser and dunked it in the river. Now I pay the price. We both figuratively and literally.

I still need an open bed for work, though. Separate from the cabin and do deliveries to off-road sites so this is my work vehicle.

Also, the cab warms up in 60 seconds in the winter. Same with a/c in the summer. They have their benefits and drawbacks.

The lot I worked at got maybe 1 Ranger every few months, compared to the dozens of Tacos, Wranglers and everything else I mentioned. Maybe it was a regional thing, maybe people just don't get rid of 'em, but they went fast despite being nearly the same price as a full size F150. Anecdotal evidence, I suppose, but we got lots of requests for them, and little to no inventory.

>>17247719
Petrol or diesel? Petrol will rape your a wallet my man. Also the IFS on the 100 series is less than desirable for offroading.

>>17248029
Gas. We didnt get landcruisers here in the states are far as i know.

>>17246961
If you're going to sleep in it, SUV is the better choice by a large margin.
If you NEED an open bed, then buy a pickup and deal with a cap whenever you need to sleep in it. For extended trips you might want to look into a slide in camper.

>>17248041
Typo. We didnt get diesel landcruisers as far as i know.

>>17247719
Buy a newer Tahoe for half the price. No point in getting a LC if you're going to get the pigfat one with IFS. It's basically just an offbrand Tahoe with less power that's more expensive to fix.

>>17248052
Thanks for the input. Was just looking for something different i guess. Ive owned 3 different 80s and 90s chevy C/K models. All have been good to me. Guess ill just stick to what i know.

>>17248063
Reliability is similar between the two, both the Tahoe and LC are above average. But when something does break, the Tahoe is one of the cheapest vehicles to fix while the LC is relatively expensive. In the US, you can not beat the parts availability and cost of the GM full size trucks and SUVs. They're reliable, stupid easy to work on, and cheap to buy.

>>17227497
How capable are the 350tbi motors in these suburbans? Are they decent for going offroading or is the 454 a better option?

>>17248361
96+ Vortec is better regardless of small block or big block. The TBI 350s aren't terrible but you may find yourself wanting more power. If you'd rather have power than economy then hold out for a 454.

>>17248442
Which one is more reliable? Or are they about even. Vortec vs tbi. Not engine size.

what state is it from? any rust? if not, those miles for that price is a good deal.
dont listen to the other people who replied to your post they have no idea what theyre talking about. does it have the rear locker?

also check the steering rack, that is probably the most common thing that needs replacing on old 100s. though, even if you need to replace it at that price point i wouldnt be too concerned.

>>17248077
thats about half true. the lc's reliability is much greater than the tahoe, thats not even up for debate. thats not to say that tahoes/burbs are unreliable of course. you are right though chebby parts will be much cheaper.

>>17248484
>what state is it from?
TX. Ive read all 98,99s came with factory rear lockers. Not sure if thats true or not. But this does have them.

>>17248484
>dont listen to the other people who replied to your post
Butthurt Toyota fanboy detected. Refer to the OP.

>the lc's reliability is much greater than the tahoe
No, it's not. LCs are often better cared for than Tahoes, yes. But if you take the time to find a Tahoe that's been cared for like the average LC, it will last just as long if not longer than the LC. There are variables that consumer reports do not take into account, now stop overrating Toyotas. All your misplaced hype is doing is needlessly jacking up prices for the next time you want to buy one.

It's okay to like what you like, it's okay to pay double what something is really worth just because you like it. That's fine. But don't tell people looking for advice to ignore anyone that doesn't share your fanboyism.

>high resale value
I see this phrase tossed around quite a bit, but most of the time the people using it don't have a complete understanding of what it actually means and how it impacts a buying decision throughout the life of a vehicle.
The only people that should be angry about high resale value of Toyotas is the Toyota fanboys. 90s Suburbans have appreciated over the past five years while LCs are still depreciating. "Holding value" is a good thing early on in a vehicle's life. It's a huge advantage if you're buying new. If you're buying a model 15-25 years old, you've reached the tail end of that and "holding value" becomes a disadvantage.

Buy burb for $2k five years ago, it's worth about $3k now.
Buy LC for $10k five years ago, it's worth about $8k now.

If you're buying now to keep, it's cheaper to get into a GM.
If you're buying now to sell later, the GM will lose less value since it's done depreciating.
If you already own one, GM has lost less value over the past few years.

>>17249090
Blue XJ guy doesn't fall for obvious bait from faggots. And "owning" your faggotry doesn't make you less of a fag, you flat bill wearing nigger wannabe.

ill admit to being a fanboy but to say a tahoe compares in reliability to a landcruiser is pure delusion 2bhmyman. im not even mad and they do have a lot of things going for them, even reliability, but it does not compare to an lc.

not true at all. 80 series are skyrocketing in value im quite glad i bought mine when i did. so are any older models like 40s or 60s.

LCs are pretty goat, I was looking for one but couldn't even touch a '98 for less than $10k few years ago. If that's their asking price and you get it for $6500 or less, it's a sweet deal.

I would own a LC had I found one when I was shopping for an SUV but now I own a GX which has treated me really Well.

No, they're not. You've got a few retards asking double market value which is already double what they should be worth, but 99.9% of buyers aren't paying those prices yet.
>>17249331
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Most fanbases would say "this guy is a fucking moron, that thing has been for sale forever and isn't selling any time soon"
But when Toyota fanboys see prices like that on Toyotas, they say prices are skyrocketing.
It's just a different mindset. People that buy Toyotas are extremely submissive to ideas they perceive as being presented by someone like minded. Mostly iPhone carrying liberals. Remember to vote for Hillary, kiddo.
