beautiful.

welcome - Do you have a solid idea of what your needs are? The car is a blank-slate right now. When you list your needs it can build a list of what to do. For instance: Need: I need to GET there. How: Tires, Lift, Gas, Maintenance, Maps, Communication Need: I need to SLEEP there. How...

Cool air. Engineers are tasked to make car engines run well, make power, efficient, and quiet. All within the constraints of laws and available space.

I am that guy. yes. :)

I'm not too far from 50 now. (ugh)....When I get back to the states i'll holler and see if we can link up. Mean time - will keep enjoying the picture show! :)

Dude you're set. Go have fun! :) Camp near me though cuz cannot get enough coverage of bush-first-aid from a Pro. I hurt myself. a lot. :)

Remember, higher octance gas is harder to burn. (shrug) - the fuel itself is mislabelled as 'premium' as if the gasoline itself is somehow better. Seems lately octane is gold because adding some to a gallon of gas can change the price by $.50. Unreal. As a weird thing/story - for my RX8...

have you thought about tires? And recovery gear perhaps? Off the top of my head I'd build a check list kinda like this: Don't Get stuck Stuff: Tires. Don't only shop for "knobby-looking tires" as some tires that LOOK like mud terrains don't clear mud at all and turn into mud-donuts. those...

I really really like seeing groups of trucks from different makes doing things like this. thanks for posting!

Skinny dedicated snow tires are the best option for snow-covered streets or roads. Invest in dedicated winter performance or studdless ice and snow. Tires will make more of a difference than 4WD in terms of safe operation of any vehicle in snow. As a general rule, nobody's "car" goes well in...

For the tires - I can't come up with a universal too-low figure. That's depending on tire make, wheel design maybe too? What kind of tires/wheels are we talking? On those duratracs I think 15psi is okay. Softer side-wall tires might need more pressure. That was merely a Flag on a...

Uh....yeah. I'd suppose tire pressure is of paramount importance to sand driving. Probably 85% tire pressure, 15% momentum and another 10% driving skill. :) As an example - sand dune driving on 315/70/17 Dura's, I went down to 19psi and couldn't make it up a huge dune. I went down to 16 and...

Man...I am sitting here in my robin-egg-blue office on a rainy german tuesday and I think I should be out wheelin' and adventuring. Thanks for this thread. It's good stuff. Getting a little eager to get back stateside!

First, thatswhatSHEsaid, second, get-with it! I'm waiting here!! third, that's ALSO whatSHEsaid. :)

Looks terrific! I'm sorry if I missed this part - but how are you going to manage additional weight?

beautiful!

spot on, John. didnt mean that to rhyme. Just need to get those some alternative power and it'd be good to hook! :D

I like it except I wonder if the butt can endure what the machine can do...for days on end. It's the wear and tear of being in the elements and stuff and junk. Try 8 hours on the freeway in a convertible with the top down. It can be exhausting. Also - think about storage. And think about...

another random stupid question - what about a smaller but efficient top-mount IC ala Subaru? Would mean hood modifications.
