15w oil will flow very slowly when cold.
I know someone who blew up their D30 pinion with 4.88s and too much skinny pedal on 35s.
Junkyards are filled with them.
Yep. I was up on Kenosha Pass on Sunday and it looks pretty snowy up there.
That I-beam is going to collect mud like no one's business: top and bottom.
Have you priced out material yet? Do that and then give this guy a call:

Wow. You guys took your time. When I did it, we left Montrose at noon, camped near Buckeye Lake and then we're in Moab at noon the next day.
I did Formula SAE in college. Great fun. After competition we took it up to Wyoming for Frontier Days where they closed down the downtown streets for an autocross. So awesome. Blasting down the...

That's the direction most people run it.

I'm planning on going. Going to do the COBDR up to the border and then decide what to do. Staying away from populated areas sounds like the best plan. Wyoming could turn into a complete...
Let's see, their first opportunity to drive (the Baja bugs) 2 of the 3 are complaining and saying how they'd rather fly.
It's not looking good.
I actually liked the old US Top Gear after they...
Probably did the sniffer test while on the dyno rollers.
$5000 range with a 3rd row and not with 200,000+ miles. I doubt you'll find a Toyota or Honda with those limitations.
Expedition or Suburban would satisfy that though.
before I started playing in the dirt, I spent several years playing in parking lots and road courses driving FWD cars faster than most people dared. FWD cars are known to understeer more than RWD...
While moving forward, if the front has better traction than the rear, the rear may try to pass the front.
You've experienced it. When going around a corner in the snow- FWD you pull the hand...
while I wasn't 4wheeling in the 80s, I know people that did. They'd show up at a trailhead with their big 31" tires to a trail, run it, or as far as they could and turned if they couldn't.

The tire guy is an idiot.
Air down offroad. I've seen stuck vehicles free themselves just by airing down.
I had a regular bow saw. The teeth looked aggressive but it took a ton of work to cut through something. Brad used it.
The Katana Boy is like a hot knife through butter. Massive difference.
The Katana Boy bow saw is another good tool. Doesn't need gas or bar oil and doesn't need to be tuned for the elevation (the user might though). Takes up next to no space and doesn't leak.

its a little out of date. I think that area has had some decent snow since then.
Welcome back Chad. We need to get our Explorers out wheeling together.
iPhone pictures don't play well with Microsoft operating systems. If you take a picture in landscape on your phone, regardless of which way you hold it, and then email it to yourself and save it on a...
My case to stay away from AZ in July. I lived there. It's hot.
But out I bet if you were at the Grand Canyon in July, you might not have been using the AC at night. It cools off in the desert at...
