    Baja Designs vs KC Highlites?

    I have a pair of each BD LP6 and LP9. Both sets have amber combo lenses. Saying they're bright is an understatement.

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    And when one expressed their thoughts/experiences and wasn't what the original poster want, it was rebutted. Maybe you don't know what comprehend means.

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    Where the #@*? did I even imply that? "Driving in the sand" does not necessarily mean running a supercharged big block sandrail, and comparing it to a 1994 F250 with a 7.3L IDI

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    No where in that initial post did it mention playing in the sand. It was all about driving in the sand, which in my interpretation due to this being an Overlanding Forum, meant traversing sand with a vehicle that suits this website.

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    Didn't this thread start by asking about Driving on sand? Now in post #58 it is about winning on sand. This is a forum for Overlanding, not sandrailing. I hope you can see where the confusion might arise from.

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    5252 is not the RPM. It is a constant in the calculation. Whatever engine, let's say an F1 race engine makes 260lb-ft at 16000rpm. HP = 260tq * 16000rpm / 5252(no unit)= 792HP Torque is THE metric and horsepower is a derivative of it. Without torque there is no horsepower. This is simple...

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    5252 is not a randomly chosen number, it is a constant derived from the vertical linear force to radial. One horsepower is defined as lifting 550 pounds one foot in one second. ((550pounds / 2) x 60seconds) / Pi = 5252. Since the rotational count is RPM, (rotations per minute), and most people...

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    Rapid tire acceleration from a stop in sand typically leads to digging a hole, regardless of the fuel source. Indy, Nascar, and F1 have very strict rules regarding engines and/or fuel. Diesels won Lemans 24 hours over and over, even when being penalized with adding weight and reduced fuel...

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    Most of these overlanders are loaded to max axle capacity, so the difference in engine weight won't be a factor. A 10000 pound gas engined truck weighs the same as a 10000 pound diesel truck. You probably haven't driven a diesel pick up recently. Acceleration and speed are not an issue.

    Gas vs Diesel Shootout in the Dunes & Sand

    If you can't get the wheel speed up on the diesel with 1200 ft-pounds, you need to learn how to press the go pedal harder and shift up manually to a taller gear.

    When you unplug, it should have minor arc-ing at the plug if it is working.

    Where to Locate Light Switches

    I mounted my switches below the headlight switch on the flat surface of the lower dash panel. Relays all tucked behind. Can search for my wiring diagram somewhere here.

    Suspension Edumication...

    I had a full Icon suspension on my previous truck and it was great. Current truck has a bunch of Icon on it too, but went with Fox for the shocks because of price, and the rebuilds are easy and cheap once you have the tools. Parts are also more readily available. I've tried going the cheaper...
