As both a Scot and a Marine he is disreputable....thus we got along swimmingly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely nothing wrong with the smaller size, and you are correct, it shouldn't hurt all that much offroad given the overall nature of the truck.

The same one that is in my sig line. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/nas-lr3-build-with-an-overseas-twist.143540/ Searching some key words finds that, also references in several other places too. Like this...

Just like Jkatka-unbolt seat, remove. Use seat bolts to put in bolt plates, use ARB kit to strap it down. It's all in the build thread, with pics.

Optimal placement of the fridge, in my experience, is in the center (30) section of the 2nd row 35/30/35 seats-thus it really doesn't impact cargo area loss. It could have minor impact if you were to use your truck as a van and fold all the seats flat. It does offer a barrier between rear...

I didn't see the benefit of the fridge either-and more importantly neither did the wife-till I decided we 'needed' one for VOT. Years later, our primary application is as you describe. DD, gravel roads exploring, and camping...and I'd say it is one of the favorite aspects of the truck. More...

The phrase I apply, from a different facet of my life, is that you never need it till you need it badly. Mind you, when you need it badly something ad hoc may work-but lets face it, half the reason we add this stuff on is b/c of the desire to achieve some type of perfection in terms of...

All good; and to your point my language is likely morphed by my profession, versus would be a normal usage for most. If I were going to the Dakar...I'd spend the $ on something I trusted.

With vice, as used, I meant it in the preposition application meaning in the place of (sand ladders). While versus would also be appropriate, to be pedantic, I meant vice as used. (I hate grammar...) In my experience the waffle boards work, but are heavy as all get out and tend to atrophy over...

You may be able to retrofit the CDL into the 03 TC; that's a great question for a search on Discoweb (search, not a post...Dweb is a long term bastion of tremendous knowledge, every question you'd have has been asked/answered there for a decade). LR3s do lack the character of the earlier...

In this case you are really better off with bridging ladders vice traction matting of any form. Much depends on the size of the gap you need to cross of course. Ironically, however, in this case if you used Maxtrax vice Alum sand ladders, the MT will go back to shape (without a hammer) after...

$1500...the gateway to $15000 plus a lot of time for a suboptimal platform (no locking CDL, may not even have the nipple on the TC if memory serves me for this year). Late in the engine life of the platform that started decades before, the 02's engine may well go at some point...etc. Don't...

The military is also looking at maxtrax...so there's that.

You could get 3 custom made for that price....

Interesting. I have both a D1 (lifted 3" with 33's) and an LR3 and can easily get the LR3 to lift a wheel whereas the (actual) solid axle + droop of the D1 tends to keep her planted far more often. That was also the observed experience from VOT when my partner wheeled his EAS LR3 and I used my...

A 2nd vote for Traxide. Incredible folks, depth of knowledge and great customer support.

Hmm, the pic may have sheen on the black rubber diamond plate mat if that's what you are describing (so not silver, just shiny). My 3rd row seats remain in place-folded flat and then the frame for the shelf bolted down on top of that 'custom' cargo area covering mat. r- Ray

Absent a fridge I'd just get a microstart and skip the dual battery. R- Ray Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my sig line the 'Saqr' is hyperlinked to a 50pg long build thread for my truck that's on here. Has a ton of pics, including where I have the GMRS (UHF) mounted, where my VHF is mounted, where my CB used to be mounted till I got rid of it, and a number of other things. I'm belt &...
