New off roading bread
First for jeeps are for women
Second for Subaru
>>26639347Just saw this cringe on a woman's Jeep
>>26639304AlsoPrev>>26598470>>26598470
>>26639347>solid axle vehicles are for womenStrange cope.
Fuck bankruptcy a bitch
>>26639348Those are also for women (lesbians).
>>26639304Very comfy
So what's your guys opinions on a 3rd Gen Dodge Ram?
>>26639870the first gen is the only gen that I would use for offroading, purely because of the 12v and the solid axles. after that it's clear that the design is detached from something that can be taken offroading without much issue
>>26639946I dont plan on heavy off roading like rocks and shit. Just something to get around on some light trails and to go camping and fish with.And yes i made that thread
>>26639974then the 2nd or 3rd gens are just fine for that
>>26639413jeepfags always go over the top with the cringe for some reason
Only thing i really got left from my jeep.
>>26640068time to get a new rigcontinuing to post pics of the old jeep you don't have is like stalking your ex GFs social media page
>>26640068bitch slap that shit away then wipe the area clean with alcohol
>>26639347I have heard jeeps are pretty good for driving on grass and rocks but not so nice to drive on streets and roads. WWD if you have to drive on streets and roads???
>>26640462Why u so mad?>>26640445Sure why not
Saw a guy taking his brand new rivean on the hells revenge trail in moab with rubber band tires. Couldn't be me even if it is a fairly easy trail
>>26641754God these things are trash and that guy is probably already 20k upside down on that loan
>>26641754Please tell me you roasted that faggot.
>>26641017>WWD if you have to drive on streets and roads???Cars are pretty good for that I hear.
So this is the road to my property.We got a fair amount of rain and it turned into this (like always).It dried out and was navigable in the car today but it's raining again so truck only access again for a couple days.
>>26641754I guarantee he won't be leaving moab tonight
>>26641754Guy in my town had one of these for one winter and sold it. He pulled trailers with it too. Theres an ICE truck in his driveway now.
There is a 1967 Jeep for sale near me. $3000. It is well used, in fair condition but runs and has a very cool beater look to it. Also has the hardtop. Broken Odometer and speedometer. Is the price a good deal? I didn't drive it but the guy says it's all fine.
>>26641404jeep ducking was made by some lady to promote her instagram page then some fag decided that they'd also put ducks on other jeeps they saw.as far as im aware you dont really see this kind of shit with other vehicles. maybe only at the track when theres a group of them.
>>26642681Yeah I've only seen it with jeeps. You should see the XJ groups they legit want to shoot someone over it. And will delete posts about ducks. I think its harmless.
>>26642598Honestly depends on how solid it is.That we'll worn look can just be considered "patina" or it might be "cancer".Take a flat blade screwdriver to the frame.If it just scratches the rust like it was covered in dirt, that's fine.It the frame flakes off in chunks or the screwdriver goes through, just walk away
>>26642691I want to buy some ducks and find a group of XJ's out on the trails now...
>>26642700Lol. One guy had stickers made saying keep your duck beaters off my jeep and most of the group agreed with him. I think it funnier to do in parking lots and see if u can film a freak out.
>>26642693Good advice. The plus is the tires are pretty new. I just want something for rural slow driving
>>26642598Got pics?
>>26642297If you can afford it, pour some rocks on it then pack that shit down. Should keep it from blowing out like that on you.
>>26642691us XJers have just gotten rather jaded after seeing us and TJs really being the holdout for "serious" offroading with our jeeps that the duck thing is just peak jeep larping to us. people get really proud of getting "ducked" and it just seems so weird to me
>>26642774I was looking at a XJ myself cause i know they pretty good. Just they get so triggered over the littlest shit. I'm just gonna get a Ram most likely. Since i find my self needing a truck more then having to climb rocks.
>>26642797>I was looking at a XJ myself cause i know they pretty goodthey're quickly turning into a dying breed. I'm very passionate about mine, it's my pride and joy, but I'd be damned if it weren't such a pain in my ass to keep on the road.>. I'm just gonna get a Ram most likelygo for it, even for basic offroading a Ram is overkill so I'd expect you to have a good amount of fun> i find my self needing a truck more then having to climb rocks.I don't care for rock climbing as much as others do but I'm in the same boat where I'm looking to save up some cash to get a used 4x4 truck to daily and have the jeep as my weekend toy
>>26642691>I think its harmlessit is, but i'd feel violated if it ever happened to me.
>>26642723No, I don't. Sorry. It's green with a white top.
>>26642774>us and TJs really being the holdout for "serious" offroadingTacos, rangers, 4runners, etc would all like a word with you
>>26642975>Tacoslol>rangerslmao>4runnersrofl
>>26642937>harmlessMaybe harmless, but the weird subculture around Jeeps was one of the reasons I didn't go that route. Seeing all these mall crawlers with the dashboards covered in ducks... Only a matter of time before someone comes up with something stupid like that for the Broncos, too, I suppose.
>>26643082How many Bajas 1000s were won by Jeeps of any sort?
>>26643197>Bajas 1000swho are you trying to convince when you bring up offroad races when this general is about offroading by the layman? I swear to god that's all you idiots have to say when people point out the reality of average offroading
>>26643452>this general is about offroading by the layman?Laymen use whatever they have and most of the time it isn't an XJ or TJ, hell it may not even be a 4WD vehicle. I just brought up the race because you laughed off the pickups, baja always seems to rile up the devout jeepfags.
>>26643535>you laughed off the pickupsyeah because every taco I see is souped up for overland larping and the new ford rangers are definitely not getting taken offroad, I've seen only a handful of new 4runners with dirt on them
>>26643566My mistake, I was referring to the older models since we were on the topic of pre fiat jeeps
>>26643194>he doesn’t know I’m sorry to be the one to tell you about bucks and ‘getting bucked’It’s horrid, I hope I never have it happen
>>26643582buck status: broken
>>26643587Lol yeah that’s what it made me think about when I learned.. but it’s even worse than that. Luckily I haven’t heard of it in the south, or ducks for jeeps for that matter. Probably something that happens in Colorado or California
>>26643594is waving at other owners when you pass by each other not enough for these goobers?
>>26643602I dunno.. I’m in a bronco but I still do the Jeep wave at jeeps. They’ve all reciprocated so far lol
>>26639347WHAT DID YOU FUCKING SAY ABOUT MY FUCKING CAR CUH WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY WRANGLERS ARE FUCKING AWESOME WRANGLER BROTHSER RISE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>26643615I only wave to other XJs and TJs now because even kitted out wranglers don't even wave
>>26643594holy fucking kek, i actually thought you were just shitposting
>>26643615>>26643594Glad the Tacoma doesn't have any of this shit. It's just a truck that blends into the crowd so I get left alone.
>>26642691Imma start ducking XJs now
>>26643194Comfy pic, fren
>>26643766its inevitable now
>>26643963I hope not. I do notice that the "built" taco guys do wave at me so I'll wave back but I don't initiate. It's always the raise the fingers from the wheel wave.

I love my 2003 Toyota 4Runner 4WD with the V8 motor. I am lucky in that I do not have to use it as my daily driver. It is my outdoor recreational vehicle.
>>26642745It's not my driveway, it's a county maintained road.This happens constantly. County has 2 of pic related. They don't store them in an equipment yard. They just drive around all day down all the dirt roads. By the time they hit all the roads they just start at the beginning again.
>>26643452>offroading by the laymanNTA but I grew up in Southern california and know multiple amateurs that ran the baja.It's not just about the Trophy Trucks.Rednecks in the southeast make those crazy mudbog trucks.Here we make desert runners.
>>26643766Tacoma drivers just stare each other in the eyes and JO together climaxing to discussions of reliability and retained value
>>26643566Why are you focused on new vehicles?There's 10 "vintage" rangers on the road for every new one.I live in a town of 800 people and there's (5) 1965/66 F100's. (3 of which get driven).
>>26643594Oh god no why I thought it was a shitpost too>>26643930Thanks fren, that looks comfy as fuck too
>>26640068>>26643594gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay also if you have a gram fb or any other social media account you are a jewish puppet
>>26644298>he says on a mainstream social media site
>>26643594>>26643594God i hope this shit never comes to for Toyotas.

>>26644877>>26644892I'm so jelly my man. I had to give mine to a friend since my back could no longer take those leaf springs. Saddest day in my life.Also those woods, you're very lucky anon.
>>26644877>>26644892Looks like an absolutely gorgeous drive my guy
>>26644946>>26644903Unfortunately not mine. We took it on its first trip out after replacing nearly everything underneath it.Yeah the rear leaf springs especially are super rough, hopefully breaks in a bit softer over time.
>>26644967Damn, where is this? Worth riding on those leafs to get that view
>>26639413>I did a thing one time>Did you know I did a thing one time?>look at how may things I did.
>>26643594holy fuck
>>26641017I daily a TJ on 35s. It's fine.
>>26643594>or ducks for jeeps for that matter. Probably something that happens in Colorado or CaliforniaI've seen it around Outer Banks NC. Seems to be around most of the Official Jeep Badge of Honor locations.
>>26645489These are so fucking gay.I want to make up some parody badges "Went to the Toilet", "Brushed Teeth", "Wiped Ass" BADGE OF HONOR.
>>26645708Would be funny /osg/ thing. Brand them /org/ and say dumb shit.Not sure it the design is copyrighted by Jeep so it would have to be done on the down low. People hawk the official Jeep branded ones on ebay for like $70 a pop. Otherwise they're locked behind a point system and phone app.
>>26645685What's the ME/NH one?
>>26645743Looks like Jericho Mountain 4x4 trail.
>>26645753Nice thanks. Thought it might be Ragged Mountain Terrain Park or something >Winch requiredWell that settles it
>>26645489i hate this so much
>>26644221Haven't met any that did that. Mostly just cougars saying they like my truck.
>>26645489I've been on all the colorado ones in my truck and they are nothing to get worried about. Most of those are on the alpine loop depending on how you start it. Hurricane pass is worse than those. A stock tacoma/wranger/bronco can do all of them with ease.
>>26645489>>26645843If they were on the beer fridge in the garage peppered in-between the rockauto magnets it would be cool.Or even some checklist with smaller medallions on the glovebox.But (am I seeing this right?) blanketing the entire window with participation trophies reminds me of this guy
>>26646182>>26646188>A stock tacoma/wranger/bronco can do all of them with ease.They're just the Jeep Brand approved trails on the Jeep/Stellantis website with an app. It's a corpo marketing tool. Jeep found a way to monetize their customers and collect data even when out camping. If you think about it, its just like a video game and thats was probably they're target. There's a reason you never see them on serous rigs. It's for the people that need every experience in life web enabled.https://www.jeep.com/badge-of-honor.html
>>26645685I see a lot of ducks in Wrangler windows here in MT It just about every where.
>>26646732Koreans are aiiight
It was comfy today bois.
No trail time sadly. Be out again soon. Rainy/foggy and low hanging clouds is a different kind of comfy.
>>26645685>obx Go on
>>26646969busrider here, were public transport electric bike and subway rider most specificallyYou need to up your stickers game. I want you to put plenty of stickers of remote places in deserts, stickers that pretty much say you've ran the dakar, and shit like that. So people will be intimidated by your extreme offroading.Btw nice pic.
>>26647180Wut
>>26647180>>26647188it would also be a good idea to go to a muddy area and run over it like crazy, and if people ask where you've been, you'd tell them in the mexican desert, you should make up a story about the desert, mud, and narcos but without shootouts cause they'd notice there's no bullet holes in your car, try to work something out
>>26647203Explain
>>26647208the thing is to look as extreme offroader as possible
>>26647211What do you mean
>>26647212you want people to think you've been in the most extreme terrain possible, on a regular basis, that you've participated in off road circuits and races, that you're pretty much a veteran when it comes to off roading, I guess you could throw in a story about have you have hundreds of heads of cattle and you use your vehicle to herd them across your many acres. Also being good friend of dakar pilots, and having an helicopter fren
>>26647219What are you referring to?
>>26647220yes
>>26647221So you're here to larp?
>>26647223I'm not LARPing at all, I'm merely shitposting my ideas and imagination
>>26647227So you're trolling without an offroad vehicle?
>>26647230correct, I have my father's car, but in the city I live, it makes way more sense to pay 0.35€ to catch an electric bike and cross the whole city in a few minutesI would like to go on trips to the mountains, not for the driving but for hiking, I love nature and mountainsbut I'll tell you more I scratched my father's car once trying to get out of the parking and I haven't taken it ever since, I'm scared, the parking is very fuckyI would like to ride for weekends into the wilderness.
>>26647232I don't get it
>>26647243now I'm just telling you about my life in general
>>26647246Why are you trolling outside of b?
>>26647250just trying to have a little fun buddy, c'mon now
>>26647252How so
>>26647255bro do you understand a single thing? I just saw your car, saw some stickers and started to fantasize about an extremely off road veteran version of it, and I thought it was funny, but you seem to be feeling as if I were trolling you, I merely wanted to have fun you fuck
>>26647259You're a veteran now? What branch
>>26647260kek, way too risky in most areas>>26647262no, but I would like him/you to LARP as one for the fuck of it
>>26647263Why larp as a vet if im a vet?
>>26647264then it isn't as fun 2bh, Idk to have some kind of badges?
>>26647266>>26647264>>26647263>>26647262>>26647259>>26647255>>26647252>>26647250>>26647246>>26647243>>26647232>>26647230>>26647227>>26647223>>26647221>>26647220>>26647219>>26647212>>26647211>>26647208>>26647203>>26647188>>26647180This is one retard arguing with himself, btw
>>26647268I've witnessed this some times on 4chins, this is not the case btw, believe me or not, I couldn't care less
>>26647266What's a veteran badge?
>>26647277the dakar stickers, the mud, etc
>>26647280That's a military badge?
Alright, lets break up this gay circle jerk and get back on topic.Bronze idler arm bushings... Oh yeah. Look at those grease grooves. Yeah these bitches are going in soon.
>>26647288in an abstract kind of way, yes, like the sticks in WWII planes
>>26647289What's that mean?
>>26647293It means my steering is gonna be TIGHT like your mom on prom night homie.
>>26647292I wasn't in ww2
>>26647295What's that mean?
all offroading here is banned until further noticefeels bad
>>26645489so do you need any proof you did the trail to get these? If not these are even more gay than if you did.
>>26647638There's an app. You gotta check in at the trail or prove you were there.
>>26647453Why?
>>26647685Forest fires
>>26647696Explain
>>26647453Same. Damn spring mud is calling the forbidden call. Fucking trail cams set up by 4wheeler cucks to catch truggs
>>26647289>that handmy nigga you are the bitches
My 97 LX450
>>26647271He's schizophrenic, thinks everyone is attacking him or out to get him.Delusions and false self importance.
>>26648347Based
>>26648347Looks like it's done well.That tow receiver hanging below the bumper line seems out of place though.It looks like it's bolted on/adjustable (?)
>>26647823Hot exhaust on dry brush.I've seen grass that's so dry it will instantly ignite.>>26647696
>>26648469Yeah it’s a little weird, it’s bolted on lower so you can still open the swing arms.
>>26648372What anon? Like what's he drive
Yeah hunny sorry to hear about your tooth I'm sure if you just pick up a Saturday shift you'll be able to fix it uh huh ok yeah we got to go the waterfall overlook road closes at 7 love you bye
took the explorer on the sand for the first time. did well
>>26648676Atleast you can unbolt it when you get hungup.hung up. (I've had it happen).
>>26647147>beep, beepWhere you here for the Jeep takeover?
>>26649546Last weekend? I rode my bike down to check shit out. Was not disappointed in the amount of heeps I saw. I think there's a bunch going down today as well for a beach day. I think they'll be up in the corolla area.
>>26648691Silver Xterra with the 23 dollar bumper
>>26650238Ohhh! The kid who thinks this is his instablog? I remember him flipping out on people for posting non offroad pics and proceeded (even itt) to post on road pics like this is his fb or some shit.Very odd fellow
>>26649546What a beauty
been looking to do a little off-roading and camping. completely inexperienced. what are some good vehicle choices that aren't $50k+? i'll also have to use it as a daily driver. I was looking at subaru crosstrek and tacoma single cab, but they don't make any 4x4 access cabs if that's necessary. would get a topper for the tacoma to camp in.
>>26651851Gx470Those other cars are uncomfy as fuck
>>26651879you dont even have to go that old, gx460's can be had for ~20-25k in excellent shape.
>>26651909Yeah but I bet they beep when you don't put your seatbelt on and don't have cig lighters. Smaller aftermarket too.
>>26651851>subaru crosstrekwhat do you count as off roading
>>26651981This>>26646971
Still new to off roading. First time taking my 23’ TRD OR into the mountains.
>>26651981pretty minimal
what all do I need to manual swap an 85 c6 bronco, can I keep my tcase?
So the new guy at my work got a hacked jobbed 85 XJ. Chopped up dash harness gauges some times work. No heat and back fires out the carb. And the super fun part its a 5 speed turned into a auto with a failing transmission. So I'm going to hep him rewire that dash when he gets the money.
>>26652790Jesus just blow that one up if you're not putting a stick back in. Tragic
>>26652843He wants it auto. Who ever did it before has the 4x4 and everything working.Just the 5 speed center console was pull out and the PRND floor shifter center piece is there just sitting on top. of the old shifter hole. Ill get a pic of it Monday when i see him again.
>>26641754arent these under a no-drive recall?
>>26652860One can hope
>>26652396It's not worth the effort. Sell it and buy a manual truck.
Installed the new center diff actuator and now it's unlocked again so that's good. No idea why it's still not working. I know the actuator and the locker both work but not together some how. Need to figure out how to hold the gears in place so I can run the actuator with the cover off and see what's going on inside.
Beep
>>26655737BoopThinking of selling the JL for a Prado with open diffs and no KDSSThoughts?
>>26656517Ok
>>26656517Do it
>>26656688Why?
>>26647696maybe if you fags did some fire abatement instead of doing nothing but zoom around in a jeep with tattoos and blue hair
>>26656754>have tattoos>have blue jeepFeels good man
>>26656707They're way better than a JL
Are Ironman 4x4 foam cell lift kits worth the extra shekels?Would be going on a 3rd gen taco if that matters
>>26657275https://youtu.be/G12zF12UnB0
Thinking about getting a dual sport that I can put on the back of my jeep to do some single track riding when I'm camping.The new Honda XR150l, or a used XT250 seem like the top contenders.Anyone else do this?
>>26641754>>26641783What are the actual problems with Rivian?
>>26643566>new ford rangers are definitely not getting taken offroadFunny because I’ll be doing exactly that
>>26657547Value is it's main problem. Every single person who bought one is upsidedown on their loans unless they put like 25k down. So you drive it for a bit and realize it's a price of trash Nigsan with insane parts costs and less times. Then you lose your mid management job and when you goto the dealer to unload it they laugh and say I'll give 20k for it. No one wants them and less people want them used with problems. So now you're standing on the George Washington bridge ready to paint yourself on a barge because Stacy is threatening divorce over the 02 Corolla you had to stick her in after leaving the keys to the Rivian in the deposit box at the bank.
>>26657625What sort of problems do they have?
>>26657659its ridiculously heavy and underbuilt, has had multiple serious recalls on the chassis
If 4WD a meme? I was thinking of getting a 2wd crew cab truck, as a DD and to take on dirt roads to go fishing. I live in CO where it snows a lot - do I need 4wd if I am not going to be doing serious off-roading.. just mild dirt roads and snow??
>>26657659Retardely overpriced wheels
>>26658370need to know too. i wanna get a base tacoma
>>26658442yes! trucks like TRD pro seem a bit overbuilt. Probs great for offroading but too much if you're not going to be doing rock crawling,
>>26658370if you live somewhere where it snows, you will easily get stuck with a RWD truck
>>26658835I've gotten "stuck" in a 2wd on the asphalt shoulder in 2" of snow.Open diff on 2wd really sucks.
>>26658849Done it in just the dirt on the side of the road too. You really need the best tyres on the back.
>>26658370>>26658442I've had my truck start enabling TC backing up a dirt hill due to wheel spin. This sucks in a stick as it'll keep pulling power until it dies. Either have to turn TC off and just spin to win or get a run at it.
>>26658849yep, even 4wd with a rear locker isn't enough sometimes>>26658858yeah it's hard to remember to turn TC off
>>26658857Hell I've gotten stuck in my perfectly flat front yard in my mustang with a posi because street tires and clay after a light rain.
>>26659002Kek yeah did that in my tbird. Unbelievable how bad that car was in the winter for something made in Detroit
Looks like used Taco prices wont be coming down with how ugly the new one is.
>>26659095>new one has a turbo 4cyl hybridexpect used tacos to skyrocket in price
Man I'm glad I'm too tall for the Taco meme. Thing has always been trash and now they're everywhere, proving my point.
>>26659099it's toyota. the prius drivetrain is crazy reliable for a hybrid - used in taxis everywhere.the new tacoma will be more reliable than it's american counterparts and get decent MPGit's too bad it's ugly
>>26659204most people who drive offroad dont want that needless complication, extra weight etc...
>>26659230lol you've never met a toyota fanboi
>>26659204hybrids will never be the choice for an offroader, the wrangler 4xe can't even manage half an hour of pure electric driving when doing mild off roading
>>26659280some people drive 2+ hours to a trail headlots of people daily drive their tacomasi already have this, otherwise i would consider it.>>26659230how much extra weight
>>26659307I daily my tacoma since I don't have the space for two rigs and I want something I can just drive out and sleep in the back anywhere on the shortest of notice.>>26659230True however some of those "overlanders" add way more weight to their rigs with random shit than some hybrid system would. I'll admit I have sliders and a canopy on my truck but other than that I keep shit to a minimum so I can travel as light as I can.
>>26658835I looked around forever for a green taco. Finally gave up and got grey. I like green vehicles.
>>26659409>Keep weight down Shoulda got a veeeeeaaaaaate
>>26659409Speak for yourself. The GFC on my rig only weighs 250 lbs base which is a lot less than many of the more conventional fiberglass toppers It didn’t sag noticeably after the camper was installed on the truck but I did pay the extra $75 for the triple HD rear coil upgrade when I got the lift kit from Clayton.
>>26660489>look what he needs to mimic a fraction of my powerjk, i didn't go for a rooftop unit because i like to setup for a few days drive for firewood or whatever. this stainless steel/ glass topper is ~300lb
>>26660489Wish I was rich bros
>>26660535How much was your camper? Was the wait time long? Did they seal up by the corners where they leak?
>>26660570dont worry, no one with any money whatsoever drives nigged out fiat chryslers
>>26660628if by "camper", you mean canopy/topper -they're made in south africa and they're always out of stock, i managed to get one within 3 months for $2200. it seals up great and has a filtered positive air pressure vent that even keeps the dust out. RSI Smartcap is the nameif you mean the tent, it's a Bereg hot tent out of russia, so i don't think you can't really get them anymore. i paid about the same as the topper for it. insane i know, but i sold my travel trailer during covid for crazy money and put it towards this setup
>>26643594
>>26660635what do you drive?
>>26660635>be poor>have fiatFeels good man
>>26660635>>26661505you guys know that Fiat-Chrysler doesn't exist anymore, right?it's Stellantis now
>>26661541HELL YEAH BROTHER
>>26661566...is that a footrest?
>>26661571Lol
>$67,000 doomsday teardrop camper>it can handle whatever campers might encounter, from bears to wildfires to social unrest>The ELE trailer's apocalypse-proofing countermeasures include an air filter, water purification, gun storage, optional bullet-proofing, and of course the bear spray cannons that can cause "a 25- by 10-foot-wide cloud of bear spray potent enough to repel even the largest bears or most desperate bandits.>Its not a parodyIs this what overlanding has become? Seriously, I wouldn't want to be associated with the word at this point.
>>26661541It's surprising how many people don't know this.
>>26661604i don't ever use the word overlanding. i just say "camping" like it used to be called.
>>26661626same, or I'm going 4x4ing and I'll be camping while I do it.
>>26661615You mean how many don't actually care
Imagine needing traction control. D44 LSD is all you need. >inb4 aluminumD44This is a jasper rear end. Less than 100k on it. Also if you're not running general grabbers you're running either a shit or an overpriced meme tire.
>>26661500Lexus lx570, the patricians choice.
>>26661694I sold my ZJ and regret it so much bros.
>>26661726That's the LX470
>>26661729Get another one while they're still cheap
>>26661626NTA, same, I avoid the word overlanding like a plague. I say, I just camp in my truck.
>>26661626I say overlanding but only because I view it as>extended trips into one or more states>staying for multiple nights out of your car>using what you have on you >knowing your limits and requirements
>>26661726im the based range rover>>26661541yeah well they had to go all the way to france to find a company worse than fiat to team up with
>>26661835i say camping for all the same reasons
My 99 Cherokee xj's oil pressure gauge suddenly dropped to 10psi on my way home. I let it cool, same reading, even before turning the key from on to start it sits at that 10psi first tick. I took the pressure sensor off and the thing looks brand new. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll pick up a new one and a manual pressure gauge.Anything else I should check? It's got 270k on it, so I might have to bite the bullet and do the rod bearings and oil pump job. But this really doesn't seem like a failed pump from the sound of the engine and strange behavior of the gauge.
>>26662479Drain oil and look for shiny shit.
>>26662479I'm pretty sure oil pressure sensors fail and just spike to maximum pressure, since mine is dead and is sitting at 80 psi, unless the opposite is true as welldefinitely drain a bit of oil and see if there's any glitter just in case, if there's no glitter replace the sensor
>>26662479Does the engine sound or feel any different? The oil pressure sensors crap out/get plugged up all the time.
>>26662600>be me>first day of a 1,200 mile cross country trip.>on the freeway with nothing but desert for 200 miles>temp gauge spikes.>pull over, let it cool down.>drive on>temp gauge spikes.>pull over, let it cool down>drive on>temp gauge spikes.>pull over.....>put hand on radiator.UmmShouldn't it be, like, really hot (?)>pop radiator cap with a rag on itShouldn't it explode like those videos where dumbasses get burned (?)I wasted half a day (+) on a bad gauge.
>>26662624possibly but don't trust people with feet fetishes to diagnose an engine could be over heating.
>>26664623>don't trust peopledone and done
>>26662624it wont be hot if there's no coolant in it
gone fishing’
>>26662612>>26662600>>26662587It was the sensor fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
>>26664528could be 2 inches, could be 5 feet!
>>26665552My sensor started leaking really bad and I replaced it, it's kind of weird how it sticks off the oil filter housing.Very easy to replace though.
>>26665715She was about 2', no rocks though.
>>26660653>i managed to get one within 3 months for $2200fuuuuuukkkI've been waiting since march for mine and they're now 2x the price.plus with all the shit going down in SA, i don't know if I'll ever get one. I already put half down at a local place to get a reservation for mine. hopefully they will offer refunds if everything goes to shit.
Is On-X Offroad worth it? It seems to mainly be marketed to soys and overlarpers.I like the idea of having trail maps and shit.
>>26668815i just use ATAK. it's free and way more customizable. throw it on a phone, tablet, or laptop, add in the map links for google earth hybrid, select the areas you want to download maps for (wait a couple of hours) and import the GPX trails for where you want to go, or create your own.https://youtu.be/WXuQERL_e8Mof course, it does take time and some technical knowledge to set up. I don't have any experience with On-X Offroad, so I don't know how it compares to some of the other paid subscription mapping services.
>>26668815i seriously hope that piece of shit isnt yours
>>26668852It looks like one of the cars I would see crack heads driving around in my area.
>>26668827Thanks brev, will check it out. Looks complicated. There's also Gaia and a free app called All In One.Might just get a physical map book...
>>26668815One of the nice things about my truck is this offroad navigation is built into the headunit. Often it will try to take an offroad trail even when you don't actually want to do that. Have to be careful when following it in the mountains. I had one time it wanted to go over a rougher pass that I've done in the day however it was 3AM and I didn't really want to run that pass at night with a passenger who was trying to sleep.
>>26669075Heard that On-X will try to send people down private roads/driveways.
>>26669108I haven't used that myself. I used to use google maps and import gpx files to it and download maps of all the areas in the region and had no problems with it.Now I just use the GPS in my truck, so far it hasn't sent me down a private road or drive. It does really like to pick forest roads that haven't seen maintenance in a few decades or more. Been quite a few times where I've had to drive up the side of the hill since the road was washed out.
>>26668815Aren't you the kid who spergs when people post non offroad pics?
Have you guys considered a bicycle?It can get you into a lot of backcountry and trails that a motor vehicle can't handle, and it has the benefit that you can pick it up and lift it over nearly any obstacle?In my opinion a hardtail mountain bike is the ultimate offroad vehicle.You even get to lose weight, it's all win.
>>26669178You're trying too hard
>>26669152>It does really like to pick forest roads that haven't seen maintenance in a few decades or more.Based. Those are the best ones.
>>26669178Dirt bike does that better.
How much weight reduction we runnin bois?
>>26669157Aren't you the guy who doesn't understand sarcasm?
>>26669472 #Just pointing out the double standard mate. Calm down. No need to cry for threads on end again.
>>26669479I'm not him though
>>26669487So you're his simp
Just picked up my new rim.>mfw rimlets in this thread
>>26669493What's a rimlet?
>>26669497Tiny rimsLike manlet or brainlet
>>26669510So 22in wheels are better?
>>26669514Only if the tires you mount on them are >48".
>>26669518So those are 48s?
>>2666952749s
>>26669532Ohh! Those are cute. Horrible offroad, but cute
>>26669546I think you mean amazing for offroad.Nothing beats 6 wheel drive and airing down the tires with the CTIS.
>>26669546those things barely ever go on road, mostly due to how shit and rundown every military range is
>>26669490Just pointing out you spent thread after thread whining about what someone else does with their things while misunderstanding jokes. Pretty silly desu
Uhhh. The military larp is so cringy
>>26669518New meats?
>>26669620I put new tires on 2 years ago, but I had been meaning to replace a rim that was bent just enough to be annoying.>>26669617What's cringy is thinking owning and old military truck is larping.
>>26669642Nah m8 he's right. That's some extra larpy shit
>>26669642Couldn't hammer it out?
>>26669658post your ride so i can ridicule it
>>26669670Oh hell no, these wheels are huge. The rims weigh roughly 90 lbs and are constructed of probably 1/4" formed steel. The bend is ever so slight, but the 300 pound tire amplifies that when rolling at 50mph.
>>26669677How cringy of you
>>26669683Damn well we're they at least cheap from the surplus lot?
>>26669743I got mine from a gov supplier, $125 for a new rim, not bad.
>>26669795Shit yeah I'd be happy with that.Do you still have the pic of the Deuce with front wheel off and held up with a tiny bottle jack?
>>26661626it used to mean you needed a passport. srs, it had an international, epic component to it. Corrupted now like everything else
>>26643615>>26643678hehe. in my 6 years driving one ive noticed a couple things- women almost never wave back even from other women - but have gotten a 2 huge, arm out the vehicle slow up/down peace signs from wild haired cool chicks passing other direction- 4door drivers dont wave much, if its totally stock dont even bother its probably leased n they only have it "for the look".. they dont gaf about doing anything with it- save waves for lifted/built 4x4s from any era, u can just tell if theres a real nygga in there. old land cruisers, D90s, ssamurais even
>>26669910Last panel you mean LJs
What are some good off-roading spots in Virginia? Just moved here from Idaho.
>>26643615other bronco's never wave back to me
>>26669979What part of VA? T.hanks, fellow Virginian
>>26669943wish they'd bring those back. perf size
>>26669979arlington national cemetary
>>26670080Cringy
>>26669995Lexus/LC wave hasn't caught on yet either.
>>26670066Tried to convince my dad to get an LJ Rubi 6 speed for a tow vehicle but he is so impatient he went out and bought a JL 2 door stick and it's already having electrical problems. Why don't boomers listen to their kids?
>>26670250Ok
>>26669591They're bad off-road because of their crazy weight and heft https://youtu.be/Q1LmvTAzLZM
>>26669840Sure do, picrel.
>>26670250All jeeps have nonstop electrical problems>t. has 2 JK's both broken with electrical problems in the garage right now
>>26661604>wedge door shut with their own shovel.>plug bears pray nozzles with pinecones.>stand outside all day, laughing, pointing at them through the windows while drinking their beer.
>>26670645What the fuck anon. It's a funny picture but are you suicidal?
>>26661604Overlanding has always been about white people going to the few remaining places on earth where there are no diverse mobs...
>>26670688It's a 20-ton jack, and at no point does one need to go under the vehicle, so it's fine.
>>26670688embarrassing post
>>26670645that looks unstable as fuck
>>26670704Well, it's your femoral artery and you can do what you want with it I suppose.
>>26670680/shrug mines 1st year 2018 n never had an issue yet. taser n lights n fridge n winch all wired up, still fine
>>26669979There really aren't many. The only ones are west of the blue ridge. Piedmont and east it's just small scattered play areas no real trails
>>26670250>LJ Rubi 6spdI, too, would be impatient trying to find such a rare jeep
>>26670645Find a woman you trust as much a Deuceanon trusts that jack
>>26670680Eh my ZJ, XJ, and wait the TJ needed a new computer cuz it sat outside for a couple years so that kind of counts as electrical issues>>26671003They pop up but you better have the money ready to go because they don't stay up for long. Plus 30k for an '06 w 125k that's not an LX470 does hurt.
>>26649546classy
>>26670250>lj rubi tow trugg
>>26671428Can flat tow them and LWB is more stable on highway. Plus it's the best OEM Jeep ever.
>>26669056DoomerTapes just released his ATAK guide, and it can help. it's mostly targeted towards milsim larpers, but it's useful. he recommends getting the official version, but there's CIVTak that's available on the play store for simpler applications. pretty much has the same functionality. the maps section is the only one you'll really need to worry about for what you want to do:https://doomertapes-guides.gitbook.io/atak-guide-1/cartography/maps
>>26669178Can't carry 4 rifles, ammo, steel targets with stands, tent, and the rest of my larping gear down 15 miles of highway and another 10 into the mountains on a bike.
