Would love more POV footage and would really like to know what driving modes you were using when. 4WD hi / low, rear locker / both locked, I’m guessing off-road engaged most of the time to keep the rpm up?

@LPM84. Жыл бұрын

I've had one minor cab strike (Small ding) on the passenger side cab when i hit some sand in an open flat area that had a significant washboard effect at the end. It shook the truck enough to open the gas cap cover, and fairly efficiently rearrange everything that was somewhat secure in the cab. Speeds were 30-35 mph. I had the frame checked for good measure and it was fine. I Had no added weight in the bed other than the spare tire, as well as 2 additional passengers in the cab. Was out a little Sahara off-road park in Oklahoma.

Chris, any thoughts of getting a baffled oil pan with those steep angles? Or maybe a dry sump if possible? I'd be worried of oil starvation.

Don't see that one in my future. While fun, trips like this will be few and far between. Mostly mountain trails and backwoods camping for me.

@jason.hartson Жыл бұрын

Man, that looks like a really fun couple of days of playing in the sand. Makes me wonder if all these new front facing "trail cams" should have the camera mounted on the roof line instead of the front bumper to really get that bird's eye view.

Not a bad idea!
