Mysahara, my Unlimited Sport originally came with the 225/75R16 tires. I was getting between 18-19 mpg on those. When I first switched to the Coopers my fuel economy dropped down to 15-16, but after I picked up a Superchips Flashcal it went back up to 17-18 mpg. The shift points were completely...

Thanks!

Finally got the opportunity to test out the new Toyos at our local OHV park: Link to the article: http://overland.kinja.com/testing-the-toyo-r-t-pizza-cutters-in-lt255-80r17-1795649578#_ga=2.30324987.599627421.1497323724-785757604.1410898546 Video if you don't feel like reading:

Have you guys considered a 255/80R17? They fit on a stock wheel and are slightly taller than stock. I did a review on the Toyo Open Country R/T's recently: http://overland.kinja.com/testing-the-toyo-r-t-pizza-cutters-in-lt255-80r17-1795649578

Thanks guys! If you're ready for some more awesome, check out the trip report for our annual Spring Meet: http://overland.kinja.com/soft-roaders-spring-meet-2017-with-auto-science-1795501802

A couple of updates: Went with an even skinnier tire. Same size as before LT255/80R17 but in a Toyo Open Country R/T. http://overland.kinja.com/who-likes-pizza-cutters-tires-that-is-1795321516 Last weekend Toyo used my Jeep in the Truck and Jeep Expo in Dallas:

Here's a little bit of Big Bend.

I enjoyed your trip report! Very detailed and great photography. After doing Old Ore back in December, I was wondering how a stock Subaru would do on that road. I was halfway hoping that you guys were going to take the Subaru through Black Gap.

Wow, you guys are awesome. I need to stop beating around the bush and find a reasonably priced 2008 with the 113 engine. The guys in the local Jeep club will be so confused.

Thanks! I will definitely look into that. That would ease my thoughts of water entry into that area.

Finally ordered an antenna mount for my CB radio. It's a license plate mount from Cool Tech LLC. Well, I didn't have my unibit to drill the hole so I ended up with an oblong hole that I had to cover up with electrical tape... With the antenna off this is the only sign that I have...

Took a trip up to Central OK for the tail end of Spring Break: http://overland.kinja.com/a-jeep-and-a-subaru-in-central-oklahoma-1793408106

I'll have to pull up the work instructions and see if the specs are up for it yet, they should be hopefully.

I haven't seen a certification course for the 4x4^2 specifically, so for now I think any of the techs can work on it.

We'll probably never see one of these built for overland duty (someone please prove me wrong!), but I was able to get a few shots of the new 4x4^2 when it came in this week. http://overland.kinja.com/how-about-taking-one-of-these-on-an-overland-trip-1792963518

I haven't done anything to the Jeep other than take people on trips to the local OHV Park. I'll have a CB setup coming soon though, it mounts inside the license plate holder. Until then enjoy some pictures and a couple of videos from our last meet...

Hey Chris! Thanks!

Took a trip down to Big Bend for the Christmas holiday: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/166840-Big-Bend-National-Park-and-Old-Ore-Road

Thank you everyone for the replies! I don't visit the forum as much as I used to. I do plan on going back and staying for longer, next time possibly bringing a travel trailer and renting an RV site for the wife and kid's comfort. I was hoping for clear skies too so I could get a glimpse of...

For our Holiday between Christmas and New Years we decided to go check out Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas. The only problem was that we had three days to do it. After reading about trips to Big Bend from all the Overland friends it was something that I wanted to see firsthand no...
