I've got 4 good tires on my wrangler with about 25% tread left. The spare is brand new. Eventually, I'm going to replace my tires, but it seems a shame that this spare is sitting there brand new, unused. If I could go back in time, I'd do a 5-tire rotation, but I didn't do that.

I was considering buying one brand new tire, putting it on the front (or should I put them on the back?) along with the spare and rotating one of the used tires to be the spare. I'd end up with 2 new tires on the front, 2 older ones on the back.

Eventually, I'll buy 2 more new tires and put them on the back when those are worn out.

Any problem with that? I'm trying to avoid buying 4 new tires until I have to, this seemed reasonable to me, but maybe I'm not thinking of something.

Let's go!!

Been thinking about getting a 2nd set of wheels to beat the living hell out of on some trails. My budget is 10k and the only capable and semi reliable one I’ve found is 90s grand Cherokee. I’d like to be a lil different than every other budget rig.

Any suggestions?

I’m good with a wrench so I’m not scared of basic mods just need to fit within 10k total.

I got myself Led Bar 22 inch and 23.5 inch lef bar bracket for License plate, problem is the screws to hold it.. the bumper is plastic and i can't reach behind the bumper to put bolt and screw, can i use self tapping screws?

I want to take my Tacoma to a local sand pit but it’s going to rain all day the day before and the sand will probably still be wet. I have 4 wheel drive and bead locks. Would driving on wet sand with aired down tires be a bad idea?

Boyfriend’s birthday is coming up and we are huge off-roaders/campers. He pretty much introduced me to it. The thing is I have no idea what to buy him for his truck/off-road activities as I am not usually familiar with truck parts.

I think he pretty much has everything but last week a part of the tire broke and he said something about buying better tools.

He drives a 2008 4Runner with bigger tires

I need help!

I work for an environmental consulting firm in Florida that owns a small fleet of Tacomas. We take these trucks into extremely remote environments such as wetlands and jungles, frequently through sugar sand, deep water, and gator muck. Recently, I spent about 6 hours crawling through swamps deep in the Everglades. Afterwards, I spent about 3 hours under the truck pulling out vegetation from the calipers, suspension, axles, etc.

Is there any way I can better protect this truck and minimize the amount of vegetation that gets caught underneath? Would a skid plate just add more surface area to hide debris and junk?

Hey y'all, I'm about to go on my first solo off-roading excursion in Hollister Hills SVRA. I've tried to find a good map online or a good trail app that shows the trails for free but can't find any good ones. The only app that seems to offer these features is Onx Offroad for a monthly subscription. Do you guys use this app? Is it worth it? is there a better cheaper alternative? Thank you

I just got a winch it says 5000kg on it. And i know that somehow mesured with a rolling objekt but how much actual force can it apply to the cable

I have no referenc for how strong a 5000kg winch is as i have never owned a winch befor

So I did a search on here and 100% of the posts are coil spacers VS suspension lift but my question is what are the cons of going with Old Man Emu 1.5" suspension lift (coils and springs) and a 1" coil spacer together?

Will the coil spacers make the ride stiffer or have any effect at all if I get the OME lift as well?

I'm looking to get 235/75/15 tires (Geo Tracker 2 door tintop).

Hey All,

I run a commercial trailer rental company. A few people have asked to rent a winch with the trailer. I have no idea about winches but assume there's just too much possible damage and liability as a result of ignorance.

Are they really dangerous?

If I'm over thinking this, what would you want from a rental winch?

When trying to fire up my atv (it won't start at all), it spits an air/fuel moisture out the intake, I take the spark plug out and it's dry, what could be the cause of that, I haven't took apart the carb it's a brand new carb, the atv is a yamaha warrior

I’ve been obsessed with Broncos since 2020. Now everyone and their mother owns one. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a soft place in my heart for them. I’m looking for some feedback on which SUVs are most comfortable. I want some thing I can take on a road trip and be comfortable. As well as do some off-road stuff too. Thoughts, advice, suggestions???

Hi all! New to this sub but hoping you can help. I do marketing research and I’m working with a lighting client who is working on bringing a new lighting system to market. I need to get options from some of you experts and you’re hard to find in traditional marketing research ways.so here I am on Reddit :)

Would any of you in the US be up for a paid interview to talk to me about lighting?

Anyone else rocking a flat fender on the trails?

How does WW2 Jeep fare against modern UTV? They have basically same wheelbase and carrying capacities. Jeep has more torque in low RPM range but UTV engines have pretty good HP + CVT.

I've been running around on a Samsung S2 for ages now and it is starting to show its obsolescence. I have been using OnX in 2D topo for as long as I can, but the tablet is starting to struggle with two things at once, like updating more than one map.

I'm looking at the second most-recent Samsung tablets, but I would like something that can reliably render maps in 3D. What is your tablet of choice?

(I do carry paper maps/MVUM in ziplock bags.)
