    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    I wouldn't disagree, but unless you are planing multi day hikes it is not worth driving through the throngs of humanity to get to those places when places between 80-100% as cool or interesting are easily visited without the people, fees, or restrictions outside of the parks. I have some...

    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    I have to agree. I have this on a bucket list as the one time I did it it was socked in by clouds. But as more of a part of a day trip to Telluride than as part of an escape to wilderness. I avoid national parks just due to the crowds these days and trails like black bear kind of get lumped into...

    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    Having a random stranger drive me on a shelf road with random passengers sounds close to my perfect circle of hell lol. I get wanting to look at the scenery. I have exactly 2 people I trust to drive me so I can look at the scenery. But outside of that I would rather drive myself for eternity...

    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    I absolutely cringe every time I see a JKU or a double cab Tacoma crashing over obstacles smacking the sliders on every rock possible. Some of these guys have absolutely no idea how to pick a line or when to use throttle and momentum and when to just putz over something while driving vehicles...

    Can anyone recommend a sub $200 Tablet for Navigation

    I don't think people who have A-B tested opinions on ios and Android have done it recently or against many devices. The notion that an old ipad, or refurbed ipad, or a new one at 2-3X the cost is a better package I think is false. Being able to download all the layers you might even remotely...

    Adventures in lifting a WK CRD

    LOL. I like your style. Adding torque and HP is not the same as re-gearing and accomplish different things. Some people just literally do not get it.

    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    The lack of focus that leads to drifting off the trail or climbing the wall I accept happens to some, although I don't really get it on a personal level. But what blows my mind is when it starts to happen the complete non-reaction these people have. No hauling in the clutch or braking, no...

    270 vs Standard Awning

    I love my 270 Batwing. I was stuck in 36 hours of non stop rain on a trip and I legit enjoyed myself and kept dry walked around and cooked. It completely transformed rain into a still enjoyable experience. I can set it up in literally less than 30 seconds. I use it for quick lunch stops all the...

    Interesting heating option for RTT.

    Proof of concept looked like renders to me I did not see anything real.

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I remember when Jeep killed the XJ and the 4 liter and I was waiting and pining for a TJ based gladiator or diesel Jeep and the Liberty was a disappointment. I was everyone in this thread until I just gave up on Jeep and moved on. Yes, there has been a resurgence of things at Jeep lately that is...

    Interesting heating option for RTT.

    Cool ideal but I'm not buying in the slightest it would be hard to make a working prototype of this without needing funding. Maybe a working consumer grade prototype but the fact they have nothing real to show is a bit of a bummer.

    Any of you running 235/85/16 tires?

    235/85R16 is the supreme awesome bestest size. LOL I honestly have no idea what all the E range complaining is about. I live in Detroit where the roads are absolute ******** and at least going from wider D range to narrow E range it's nearly negligible. Maybe if you live where the roads are glass...

    2002 Tacoma Build

    Awesome. 2002 Taco represent! Lol. I have that exact parts list (except I think 881 springs) for my 02 sitting in the bed of my truck but got sent to Mexico for work before I could install it. My work involves testing new vehicles for OEMs and I am surrounded by gigantic trucks with features I...

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    They do but the take rates are not super relevant. Most of the Tacos here are expat trucks because they were affordable when bought in the states. Tacos are expensive , Hiluxes are super expensive and almost always commercially bought. The real story is Nissan owns the truck market in Mexico...

    Ursa Minor or RTT

    I have a cvt on a truck. It's such a giant pain to pack up. It is terrible for drive sleep move on in the morning situations. I like it a lot with the annex room it's more comfortable for long stays. But I would be putting one of the poptop tent camper shell things on my truck now if they did...

    MaxTrax, are they worth it?

    Fair enough. But framing it like there is no other product that can even be used once without breaking is a bit silly.

    Is the Ranger the Hilux we've been wanting?

    Nothing infuriates me more than selecting manual mode and then the system not letting me do what I want. I don't mean for safety parameters either, just because it doesn't want to let me. Same for holding a gear. If I pick the gear leave it. Don't shift because you think that's what I really...
