    Anyone here explore with an L405?

    I know a few members hit the dirt with a D5, but curious if anyone has taken an L405 RR off the beaten trail?

    Regular cab short bed 1/2 tons

    WIth Chevy recently announcing they're bringing theirs back, and Ford still offering theirs - for a billy goat of a rig, what's the consensus on say, a 2017/2018 Silverado/F150 - leveled/lifted 2", on 35s. Since currently the only adventuring I do is day and or weekend type trips, and it's just...

    F150 - Gas vs Diesel

    So the 3.0L Powerstroke has been out for a few years now, what's the current conesus? Looking to downsize from my 2019 F250 ( go figure, it doesn't fit on a lot of trails here in the southeast of the United States ). Engine options are the diesel, the 5.0L v8 ( easy pick ) and then the 2.7L...

    My '89 Dodge Raider aka Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero

    so on Friday, I picked up this Raider for a song ( $2,000 ). Rare V6 5spd. I'll say this, I've lurked this forum for a long time wanting to get into something off road capable, and I've owned Starions in the past, so the previous weekend I helped a friend pick up a 5spd Raider with a G54B (2.6L...

    Bronco Sport

    Thoughts on it? Seems like the Badlands trim still have a lot going for it - there's videos of them doing Moab and Hells Gate without much trouble.

    Thoughts on the new Tahoe Z71/Yukon AT4?

    The 2021 Tahoe Z71's are already out at the dealership, and the Yukon AT4's are coming out shortly. Omitting the departure angle, whats everyone thoughts on it? I think its interesting they did away with solid axles, but also give it an air suspension + magnetic ride to where it can lift itself...

    Modern diesel truck in Latin/South America and diesel question

    US-based diesels are now designed to burn ultra-low sulphur. From what I've read is, if you're towing a 5th wheel, doing into Mexico etc you can be fine with their low sulphur diesel, but without the load you'll have issues. Or, the fix is to just delete all the emissions equipment. Can anyone...

    Thoughts on the 2017+ Tahoe?

    Been eyeing this generation as a 80% daily/kid hauler, 20% mild overland ( being in GA there isn't as much as out west ) I havent found much information one way or another, but it seems they come with some nice goodies from the factory. Feedback is appreciated!

    Are any of the newer LR's capable?

    Curious - are any of the newer Land Rovers ( e.g. the Discovery of the Range Rover Sport ) capable at some overlanding? I know they're more designed with more road manners than off road in mind, but they still seem pretty capable. Heck, Matt Farah took a Velar off-roading at the Pioneer Trail...

    Unimog 419?

    New to overlanding in general, but Unimog's have always fascinated me since Jurassic Park. There's a Unimog 419 local to me ( has a slew of ;hydraulic tools, chain saw, jack hammer, drill ) It seems a bit... squat for what most 'mog builds I've seen, but curiousity has me.

    There's an AEV Prospector XL conversion Ram 2500 chassis for sale in N. Georgia!

    GMT900 ( 07-13 Tahoe/Suburban )?

    I've been looking at various chassis ( from the new Cherokee Trailhawk and Grand Cherokee ) to F-150's, F-250's and Excursions, to Tacos, 4Runners and such. I've seen in general GMT800s built up, but why is it that I rarely see a GMT900 for overlanding, much less even off roading? Am I missing...

    Verdict on the WK2

    How are the feelings on the WK2? Nothing too serious as I live in suburbia, but still would be gunning for a mild overland build. I've also considered the Cherokee Trailhawk, but it won't be till 2017 that they offer HID's ( sorry, I like to see the road a bit farther down ). This would also be...

    locker LC vs a non-locker LC

    So, I'm a lurker. I've been hunting for an LC and I was wondering just HOW beneficial lockers really are - from what I understand, unless you're doing some serious rock crawling, you don't HAVE to have them. I ask because I found a very nice LC for a great price, loaded - just no lockers...

    Guy drives his Landcruiser (FJ80) around the world

    Considering a Disco/RR

    I've been eyeing the Disco's http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/2247705586.html http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/2226085548.html ^^ One for example. I was just curious to what to really keep an eye out for. I know they're known for blowing head gaskets around 150k. I've heard about...
