    New here and New to Overlanding

    I bought an R1T back in December. FWIW, I've had winches on my last 2 vehicles that never got used. I've found MaxTrax and a shovel to be way more useful. Over time I keep getting rid of gear and equipment that I don't use (see Hi-Lift). So while it would be nice if Rivian released an...

    Rivian R1T (pickup) vs. R1S (SUV) for "overlanding"

    I also think it's safe to say that Rivian with the R1T/S, Rivian is targeting more of the Land Rover market, not the F150 market (although there's certainly some cross-over in price points these days - pickups have gotten expensive). The R1T/S is a halo vehicle and they'll offer vehicles at...

    06 100-series to 20 JLUR?

    My Landcruiser gets about 11-12 mpg. My assumption based on the EPA estimates is that a stock Rubicon does significantly better than that.

    06 100-series to 20 JLUR?

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm curious to see the MPG rating on the diesel engine when it gets released. I like my 100-series and I've had some great adventures with it. At the time I bought it (used) I think it was the best option on the market. But if I didn't own it already, and was...

    06 100-series to 20 JLUR?

    I'm considering selling my '06 LX470 and buying a new JLUR. I've got about 153k miles on the cruiser. It seems like a stock Rubicon is about as or more capable that my built LX470 (slee front/rear + lift + 33s, winch, comms, etc). I don't do any serious wheeling, but I like being able to run...

    Biggest AGM battery in 2000 lx470

    The biggest battery with no modification is the Northstar Group 27F AGM. Batteries Plus sells it under their X2 Power brand. It's a 91AH battery. To get anything bigger, you've got to go to a Group 31, which requires a new battery tray and probably only nets you about an extra 10% capacity...

    2017 4runner v 2017 Landcruiser

    It would be a 15.8% difference if you were talking about a circle. Given that a differential is roughly a sphere, you're looking at a 55% increase in volume going from a 8.2" to a 9.5" Edit: Actually it's not even a 15.8% difference if you were talking about a circle, either. It's a 34%...

    New HAM

    The Extra question pool was just refreshed this past summer. I'm not sure how many of those questions remain, but hopefully there have been some improvements.

    GX470 vs. LR3 (overland rig)

    :wings: :wings: :wings: :wings: :wings: hold on... let me catch my breath... :wings: :wings: :wings: :wings: :wings: ok.... whew... Your cost estimate is off by an order of magnitude. What you've listed there will bring you up to $30k+ easily.
