The OP asked about the MTs, not the ATs. Different tires. MT tires generally don't as well as ATs in snow and ice, which could be important for some reading this thread.

Basically, federal rangers are not going to enforce state laws on federal land. You're still subject to state law but it's up to the state to enforce those laws (except in particular national parks where the state has ceded all law enforcement authority to the feds). State and county law...

Oh there is no way I'm paying ADM. My purchase (Bronco or Tacoma) will be late in the year at the earliest. I expect to be paying below ADM, but how much will depend on market conditions at that time.

2 months later, and Future Ford in Roseville, CA is still asking $5K ADM on Broncos. They’re on the edge of a medium-sized metro, not some area awash in tech money.

These days, yeah. Catalytic converter theft was insignificant back in the long ago days when I had my fuel siphoned.

Great shots, fun trip, and that tire glitch will buff right out.

Another thumbs up for Stanley Basin, Sawtooth Valley, and Redfish Lake. That's a much more scenic route than the Snake River Plain. Also seconding Great Basin National Park. I agree it's highly underrated. I wasn't terribly impressed with the cave, but the scenery is awesome and not what...

I think you'd also need to leave the garage door cracked so the cats can get in to deal with the mice, or else install a cat door. Otherwise the garage is a safe refuge from almost all predators other than maybe snakes.

I've had gas siphoned twice since 1981, and the windshield wipers vandalized once. All incidents were far from home while parked in somewhat remote areas for hiking trips. Both of the gas siphoning incidents almost resulting in my running out of gas while trying to make it through mountainous...

My first time driving on sand in 4WD was decades ago when an unpaved road in the desert dropped into a dry wash with deep loose sand. I didn't air down because I didn't have an air compressor to air back up again. There was a long stretch of paved highway I would have had to drive on...

The way it's going, one morning we're gonna wake up and the only off-road tires available will have 1" sidewalls. :wink:

I hear you. Where allowed I'd much rather camp remotely. One Friday night when I was a college student in LA, I noticed that the frat next door was clearly gearing up for a big party that would certainly keep me awake with noise until the early morning. As a lifelong insomniac I don't like...

Reminds me of when I'd just purchased my old Toyota T-100. The next summer I was having a blast exploring rough, narrow roads on the east side of the southern Sierra Nevada. I managed to get some pretty good pinstriping on my shiny new truck from some brushy aspen branches in a tight spot. I...

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate that you're trying to help and that you're aware of the issues with Autism Speaks. Nevertheless, there are dubious charities out there for any number of causes. Personally and as a general principle, I would not contribute to or solicit donations...

[Edit: Please see the response by the OP below] The puzzle pieces on the shirts indicate that the "charity" is Autism Speaks, an organization of parents of autistic kids that is strongly disliked by actual adult autistic people. I don't want to pick a fight here, but as an autistic person...

I edited my post to clarify what happened. The old one was an actual crack and we eventually replaced the windshield. The new impact was just a chip that didn't spread over time. Next time I'll get the chip fixed right away, which I didn't know was possible at the time.

Long ago my car had a cracked windshield, and I procrastinated for many months in getting it fixed. Finally I got the windshield replaced it fixed, and a month later a new impact gave it a new chip crack.

Uh-oh. Dueling offroad days.... 🍿🍿🍿

Thanks, guys. I'm planning out my future build. My inclination is to put lower gears in the axles to make 6th more usable, and get better crawling ability at the other end. Yes, first in high range will be rather low, but this will be a recreational vehicle not a daily driver.

If you're in California you can't do this. Nothing can be installed on the dashboard, even if it's pretty low profile.
