...and when someone decides to use a Cat to "improve" the trail. :rolleyes: A good many trails have bypasses on the truly difficult elements. So you could see a picture of a legitimately difficult spot on a 5 or 6 because you don't have to do the hard part.

My skids are basically my off-road curb feelers. :cwl: I'm a 2-door Wildtrak, basically stock with the original 35s (34s). My only real mods are skids on everything so my important bits are as protected as I can make them. I don't get too upset at pinstriping as this is AZ and it's inevitable...

I pretty much keep it a 5 and below simply because I don't want body damage.

California has the most diverse selection of trails in the 35 states I've been in. Pretty much something for everyone. From beaches, to mountains to deserts. Plus there's a solid number of trails that could lead to death if you go unprepared. That said, I prefer Arizona. Also a highly diverse...

Not nearly enough. Too much work not enough play. That's the major downside to owning a business.

It's an illusion or how the truck is sitting unless it's modded. Stock Wildtrak the rear is just a tad higher than the front.

There are a few spots to add difficulty if one wishes. The very top of the staircase demands choosing the correct left line unless you have a lot of wheel travel and clearance. Descending that obstacle is less about crawling down and more about sliding.

I run 15psi on deep sand washes. I found that the increase in traction throttle on made it more stable.

I have not noted that. Though I generally end up with a few minutes of warmup waiting on wife and/or kids.

What is this "cold" of which you speak. :LOL: Sorry, Tucson joke. Do you mean cold outside, if so, how cold? Or is this the vehicle not warmed up yet?

Well said. To add a bit more. If you place the 4x4s near a truss panel point you'll load the panel point and the force vectoring of the truss will function as designed.

Not all roof trusses are equal. There are actually quite a number of criteria that go into the design and manufacturing. Theoretically a Fink truss of that type could be a tension only lower chord, meaning it is not intended for storage loads, unless the lower chord were designed with an assumed...

Somebody had to say it. :ROFLMAO:

I was just looking at this pic on CC again. That's gotta be a website header or wallpaper or something. The rig looks great as always.

If you simply mat it from idle and expect immediate acceleration you'll be disappointed. That's true of all turbo engines, it's also true of most N/A engines other than the high power, high performance ones. It's always been the case that you can either build RPMs sitting still in neutral or...
