They are remarkably capable stock. Main limiting factor will be tires. So good set of ATs or mud tires would do wonders. (y)

If you want more useable power, I suggest you look into a 2.0 or 2.3 engine swap. (y) The J20A engine is one of the biggest reasons I went with a Gen2 tracker/vitara Considerably more power and much more reasonable on the highway. Even with the 31's mine has no problem keeping up on the...

Still breaking things in on this build (less than 1k miles since new), but its certainly proving its utility. Such a fun little thing, smiles for miles, turning heads, and the doggos love trail rides. :cool:

Small adventure today. Put on another 50 miles or so on the hill for a dayhike. Such a wild combination of cute, ugly, and business 😁

I have a neighbor down the hill with two Teslas. They sit in the garage from October to April (North Idaho winters) His daily driver is a mid 90's 460ci F250 :ROFLMAO:

This is what we disagree upon. Again, done right, there is zero exterior maintenance (as in.. doesnt needs maintained) (y)

Thanks, Ill check them out. Its been 30+ years since this guy has had Mickey Thompsons :unsure:

Tire size has essentially nothing to do with this. The load rating (4080lbs) of the size Im running everything to do with it. Ive yet to see any reasonable poor reviews of the at3. Have any links?

Avid backpacker here. We recently changed out our tried and true thermarest for Zenbivy pads, HIGHLY recommended. (y) https://zenbivy.com/pages/which-mattress-is-right-for-you

I guess we will disagree. Built correctly, with a monoshell design, zero maintenance needed. Built in 2012 it has spent its entire life outdoors, without a cover, in North Idaho, with 75k+ road miles, and its BUILT OUT OF WOOD ;) Zero, and I mean ZERO maintenance needed to the exterior in...

Honestly with the flawless performance of the Toyos, at this point Id be hard pressed to consider anything other than a Nitto/Toyo. Stable with zero tread squirm out of the box, passable wet and snow traction, and tough as nails.

Tire time for this heavy setup. We run the 295/70R18 with a load index of 129 (4080lbs) Have near 50k on the Toyo AT2's doing a 5-tiure rotation, and have been FLAWLESS tires. I was 100% for stepping into the newer Toyo AT3, but.... Identical specs with the single exception being a slight...

Thanks, they did turn out decent. Far from perfect cosmetically, but perfect was never the goal. Not one body panel on this thing without a few dings/dents, and Im perfectly okay with that. Make them too nice and you are afraid to run them. In other news, we just broke 200 miles on the fresh...

Quite the before & after Oh so close.....

The rig now has about 200 miles on it. Not many kinks to work out (yet) :oops: But I do feel that the factory coils, with 250k+ miles and a winch bumper made for a front suspension that needed sorted. I sourced some Jeep Liberty coils, and from reading others with experiences with them...

Final bumper fab finished. Sand blasted and shot with urethane primer. Then shot with Raptor Liner (more on that later)

Back at it. Fender fabrication.....

I know you two are having fun.... but all you need to do is a simple google search to find forum threads with regards to 37's They fit on new Superduty trucks, F250/350 with nothing more than a leveling kit. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1681808-2022-f350-37s-with-a-2-5-leveling-kit.html...

Thanks for the vids. Its an interesting concept to wrap my noodle around. I understand the whole tank tread thought, though I still dont beleive it.. :ROFLMAO:

To be fair, NONE of this even has bearing on the original question…. does a deflated tire have a smaller diameter, in order to fit in the stock spare location. The answer to that is yes…. and no. Without weight on it, a tires diameter varies very little. However, deflate it enough and it...
