Does anyone have any experience with an EV Hummer off-road? Being over 9k lbs it's pretty heavy, which I've always been told is detrimental to off-roading, particularly in sand, mud, and going up inclines with gravel or loose rocks, but since the EV Hummer has a lot of torque and both locking...

I've had the opportunity to off-road in Jeeps in the past and their off-road abilities are amazing. I've never off-roaded a new Defender, as it's a newer vehicle, so I'm wondering if anyone has off-roaded both of these how do they compare? Is one clearly a better off-roader than the other?

I've had the opportunity to off-road in Jeeps in the oast and their off-road abilities are amazing. I've never off-roaded a new Defender, as it's a newer vehicle, so I'm wondering if anyone has off-roaded both of these how do they compare? Is one clearly a better off-roader than the other?

Say I have exactly the same vehicle for off road. In places like mud, sand, loose rocks, ect, how much of a difference does 1k lbs make? Say one car weighs 4k lbs and an identical one weighs 5k lbs, is the 4k lbs car going to have a significantly easier time off roading than the 5k lbs car? I...

Does anyone have any experience with Expedition One bullbars? Do they have a crumple zone like the ARB bullbars? ARB bullbars work very well because they have a crumple zone, so if the impact isn't devastating the crumple zone of the bullbar takes the trauma leaving the frame or chassis of the...

I'm torn on what Defender to get. I do plan on doing quite a bit of off-roading. I want to get the V8 Defender but it's about 2k lbs heavier than the P300 engine and loses that payload, payload is only a little more that 1k lbs. Additionally, the smallest wheels are 20" and there doesn't appear...

Does anyone have any experience with how the Expedition One bumper compares with the ARB bumper? I see that Expedition One is one of the very few to offer aftermarket bull bumpers for the new Defender but I hadn't heard of them before. I know ARB even has a special testing facility to test the...

I've been seriously thinking about a Defender, the 90, because of its excellent approach, breakover, and departure angles. However, has anyone experienced any issues specifically related to the Defender being unibody rather than body on frame?

I've heard that for IFS vehicles a 4" lift is the limit because the upper control arm basically touches the coil and going further would begin to affect the drivability of the vehicle, is this true? If so, it's unclear to me if at 4" I would still get full wheel travel or if even at 4" wheel...

Good afternoon, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with pretty snowy hill climbs with different types of vehicles such as a Ram Powerwagon, a Chevy Colorado ZR2, a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and a Suzuki Samurai? I'm curious to know if weight makes a difference when climbing snowy hills...

Does anyone know of a good place to have a Suzuki Samurai custom built? I've heard of a number of places that custom build Land Rovers but haven't been able to find one for custom built Suzuki Samurai.

Which setup would be preferred for rocks and deep ruts, 35" tires with a ramp travel index (RTI) of 700 or an RTI of 832 but only 33" tires?

For very rocky and rutty terrain, which one would be more important: 315/70R17 tires at the expense of a small loss of wheel uptravel, say 10mm per wheel and the need to use a limiter, or 285/70R17 tires but with slightly more wheel uptravel, the 10mm per wheel?

I'm considering buying something along the lines if a Ford F-450 or a Ram 3500. Both either come of have the option of going with a limited slip differential on the rear but also have traction control. How does this work. Does traction control not work in the rear, or will the LSD only work if...

Has anyone overlanded in Australia with a full size pickup, or ute, something like a Ram 1500/2500 or Ford F150, F250?

Has anyone ever overlanded with a full size rig in Namibia or Botswana? I'm interested in seeing how good a full size rig performs in Southern Africa.

Good evening, I'm thinking about buying me a new overlanding vehicle. A lot of people have told me that the lighter the car the better off-road because it has better traction. I'm not entirely sure as to why this is but got me wondering. Obviously the larger the car the more gear you can pack...
