I just recently found out about this and have been using it to plan trips and look for new places to wheel. Since this is CA state park information I'd like to assume it's the most accurate on open/legal areas to offroad. I have both OnX Offroad and TrailsOffroad apps, and use them in conjunction with this to find new trails and areas to explore around where i live.

Not sure if other states have something like this but figured i'd share in case it helps more people go wheeling. As i find more stuff I'll update this post

My wagon is 9’ tall and looks small in every pic. Parked next to my house for the first time and it finally looks big!

Wanting a manual rig. Recently got to drive my friends 5spd trooper and I quite enjoyed it. Haven’t driven stick in years and it sparked some nostalgia and the mechanical feel was awesome. The fomo is real but I wonder if I just have rose colored glasses on. I do daily drive my rig and have gotten sick of driving manual in the past. Also never offroaded with a manual. Anyone else regret having a manual rig or is it the best thing ever and will never get old?

Whether I manual swap or get a manual rig Both will be equally a hassle and a lot of money. It will be difficult to source a donor car/trans/parts, and dealing with marketplace/building a rig to how I want it again sounds rough. Mine is already to my liking(except auto)

Is it worth all the hassle to just have a stick rig? Worried l will spend thousands just to eventually be annoyed and jaded again

Think I finally got some of the kinks works out and back to her old self. Old-school tech but still works great.

As of this date 12/10/2024 there is zero 4x4 evs for sale. I don't want awd.I want a true 4x4

I’m just starting to get into four-wheel driving now and plan on buying my first off-roader soon. I’m looking at mods for making it more capable and I’ve been looking into suspension upgrades and lifts.

This may sound like a really dumb question, but aside from price, is there any way to tell the quality of a new suspension system? As a rule will any aftermarket kit be better than what comes on the car stock?

Currently have a set of 42x13.5r17 Goodyear Mt/r tires. They're fine tires in the spring summer and fall but not great in snow. I'll be moving soon to a very snowy part of my state. I'll be on a private (unplowed) road and would like a tire that is great in the snow. Any recommendations? Would be open to 20 inch tires as well but ideally I'd like to keep my Hutchinson double beadlock wheels.

Needs a slight alignment but wondering if anything looks unusual or missing?

was thinking about putting the spare inside the cabin,and someone pointed out it:

"it might affect the weight distribution in your FJ40, It could impact handling, especially if you're carrying other heavy loads. "

i use 265/75/16 tires with the original 16 inch steel rims

can this really be aproblem (especially offroad)?

​

ps" it would not come loose it would be bolted to a robust support and also a Lashing strap just to be sure, similar to this:

Hi guys,

Looking at potentially buying a Mitsubishi Pajero from a private seller here in Portugal, but wanted to ask a few questions around the reliability. The car has done 330k km with a recent battery replacement and new shock absorber. Just a note, I am originally from the UK but now live in Portugal and second hand cars here are really expensive due to certain road tax laws importing them in.

The car looks really well maintained but am I taking a big risk for how many km's it has on the clock? Is there any specific questions I could be asking the seller. It passed its most recent IPO (same as an MOT in the UK) so that's a plus, but any advice would be much appreciated.

I have attached some pictures for reference.

that blue thing in there…it’s a towel i was prudently using for dampening. and then imprudence joined the party

Hey guys, my tires (Toyo Open Country IIs) are getting a little dry rotted. What are your guys recommendations for a budget AT tire that’ll be okay with the occasional trip in the sierra snow? I currently have them on 17s from a 4Runner but I have my stock 16s as well.

I also know I could go up in size to the pizza cutters so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Coworker at my shop has a beautiful 1st gen 5 speed pathfinder. He left it at the shop overnight and I’ve been admiring it all day. I’ve convinced myself to ask if he wants to sell when he comes in later this this week. Anyone owned one of these? Curious how they are. I mostly hit forest roads so I’m not looking to modify and I already have a 2006 Land Cruiser but this thing is really speaking to me. Are they reliable, decent driving for a 30 year old suv?
