I am thinking of mounting my diff breathers in the engine bay as it seems the obvious solution. Any better suggestions?

I love to hit some tough trails along my overlanding trips. In most cases, the terrain is rock and dry sand. Any tire recommendations? Would a BF all terrain be enough or is a mud terrain better?

I have always wanted a diesel 80 series but sadly we have never got those in the US. Being that they are nearing 25 years old now I would imagine that it will be fine to important them over the 25 year rule correct? If so, I might need to get myself one

Hey everyone, I am thinking of getting a 200 series land cruiser to use as an overlander. I will also take it on the relatively tougher trails which is my main concern. Does anyone know how they fare? Are the overhangs an issue? Also, is the front end strong enough to withstand some relatively...

My springs are falling out during full articulation after installing some longer shocks. Does anyone know how I can prevent this as I keep on needing to place the coil back in place?

So, when I switch my airlock on the compressor keep on pumping air but the locker never engages. Could not drive the majority of obstacles on my last trip due to this issue. Any ideas what the issue could be? I am thinking some kind of leak in the system?

I had this question pop in my head today. Do 39 inch all terrain tires exist? Because when going for such a large tire then road noise is definitely not high in your priority list

What tire pressures are you guys running when snow wheeling?

Curious to see, how many of you have rock sliders here and do you ever need to use them? I use mine regularly whether that is by accident or if it is on a trail I know I will be running out of clearance. That's why we have them right?

Something I have always had in my mind is why has no-one made a rooftop tent with heated walls yet? In my mind it makes sense because a rooftop tent is something that is permanently mounted on your truck so you can run a wire to your power source and have it connected all the time. When you...

You would think that a winch is a simple mechanism and there isn't much that can differentiate a cheap one from an expensive one other than build quality. What are the main differences that justify the difference in price? Should one go for a cheaper options or a more expensive one?

It's time to get some new shocks for my rig and I am having a look at the products offered by FOX. The prices are insane but I must say those shocks definatelly look the part! My question is wether the performance of these shocks is worth the price and if anyone on here has used them before...

It is hard to tell exactly what the issue could be but the short answer is yes it could help. An upgraded steering shock may also help but I would first start by checking all ball joints and steering components are in good condition before starting to spend money on replacement parts

squatted trucks make my eyes hurt!

hmm, I am not sure. If it doesn't it may be an issue as in case of an accident your onions might brake. Also, on hikes it it nicer to leave the home in the car sometimes just to disconnect from everything but if the ZOLEO needs it that's not possible

Yes, I am definatelly concerned. My main problem is that they will force older vehicles off the roads and the problem is that the only vehicles that do the job I want a vehicle to do are old! As far as the trailer goes I wouldn't worry. Try it out and if you find that it adds to much extra...

Personally, I am trying to find an Australian swag. Been wanting one of those for ages but they are hard to come by in the US. For now I am using a normal tent. I do agree that the RTT has a lot of cones especially on a wagon. The aerodynamic and weight up high penalty is just too much for me

Hmm, I am not really sure if this is a good idea. It is a small TV but I would imagine it would get squished when the tent is folded down. Also, the vibrations and the cold and warm weather during the summer would kill that TV pretty quickly. I would also fear water ingress through the holes...

holy heck! Those things are soo capable. The flex on that Defender is unreal

Never heard of them. I guess you are looking for suspension for a Jeep judging by the brands. Why don't you try Old man Emu? Not an American brand but the Aussies really know a think or two when it comes to 4wds so I would definitely trust them.
