    Opinions Solicited......Another Head Scratching Mid Size Truck Choice Thread

    that is correct M is for metric ie a 220M would have a ring gear= to 8.66" rear ring. bigger is generally better but smaller could be made of better material so who knows lol.

    Opinions Solicited......Another Head Scratching Mid Size Truck Choice Thread

    I always thought a new tacoma would be nice until I spent a couple hundred miles in one. I am average American size ie 5'10ish 180lb. too cramped for my tastes. I want to like the rangers as I am a ford first guy. Just am not loving the look and they have been out long enough to be getting...

    So is a '9000' class winch 'enough' for a 6500# Suburban

    ditto on the line length. on my jeep I have actually dropped down from 80' to 50' (when I first started wheeling I had 100') as I have used winches a lot over the last 10 years or so and for my type of stuff I found I was never needing any more than that.

    JKU / JLU as a family travel vehicle

    I have had 4 jku's and I would not want to be dealing with a child seat. Before you commit try getting a child seat in and out. rear door openings are just not great for that. other than that they are great as a family rig. I just test drove a couple of Gladiators at Dave Smith on Friday and...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    I bet distributors have a contract that prevents them from doing that as it basically takes money out of James Baroud's pocket. maybe offer them at cost to customers as is no warranty. let the customer decide if it is worth taking a chance on one...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    I live in the mountains all our wheeling is in the trees and rocks. I don’t think the 6” extra length or 1.5’ Turing radius would make a difference for me Nor would the narrower by an inch gladiator. I would not want to take either one on the dusy ershim ?. The gladiator would be easier to...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    Test drove Gladiators in Sport S, Overland and Rubicon and gotta say all were super nice. If blind folded I would not be able to tell the difference. I drive a 4 door lifted rubicon and the Gladiator did not seem big at all in fact seemed really nimble. This was at Dave Smith and if you have...

    Moab...In a big truck...

    you will have a some paint stripping. I know the AEV crew did Kane Creek in Prospectors. I have seen full size trucks on Fins and hells revenge altho not longbows. Saw a truck load of guys from Mexico in a full size RAM beating the crap out a new ram on Poison Spider and going up the waterfall...

    Its obvious how load range affects tire load capacity, but how do higher and lower load ranges effect offroad performance

    I run e rated tires on a 4 door Wrangler and air down to 10-15 psi off road And get good traction. Lowering psi does lower load capacity and toyo has a formula for showing how load capacity drops with lower psi. an e rated tire most likely won’t give ultimate off road traction like a lower...

    Falken Wildpeak AT/3W - anyone running them? Opinions?

    My e rated have 2 ply but I can vouch they are strong. We have lots of sharp broken granite and sharp downed tree branches in Montana and no issues. I just did Moab with a buddy who has them and I saw some sharp rocks pushing hard on his side walls but nary a mark

    Need new tires

    Falken at3w are awesome tires. Have recently had ko2, toyo at2 and r/t, st maxx and for the money cannot beat the falkens. Better winter tires than all mentioned and way quieter than the st maxx or toy R/T
