    I would think a lighter oil would travel farther faster and be more likely to contaminate the MAF. But I like you're idea for cleaning the snorkel. Chimney sweeper style :thumbsup:

    Probably diesel. In all redneck countries they use diesel. Poland too.:jerkoff:

    What is the wheeling like out there? I feel like down near Zakopane would be amazing.

    I don't know "wheeling". I know there are some guys ready to kill their rigs on military firing ranges, but it is not for me. I saw they have 4Runners, Jeeps and different brands of local or Russian 4x4. But the only close thing to Tacoma would be some Hilux.

    As for my truck I keep is stock not screwing up with original proven design and reliability, still go "off road" literally.

    Other than that some local forest access roads as quite close to some mild trails. I drive there too.
    As for "rock climbing" some local paved streets are no joke some of them reminds mountain trails. The worst are "speed bumps". You have to understand that in Poland they redesigned speed bumps to look more like a road blocks. Really some cars can't pass them without scraping the bottom. There is no need to post speed limit - anything higher than 20 mph will send you flying or visit in body shop.

    The mountains down by zakopane reminded me of Colorado without the altitude so I figured there had to be wheeling there.

    I knew Poland has a bunch of muddy woods stuff too, Like @se7enine posted. @RysiuM what town are you in?

    Tradition of country exploring is more by walking in Poland, while in USA it is more about driving. It makes sense as distances are much shorter. For example the whole Tatry National Park is 10 times smaller than Yosemite, its about 15 miles across so you can hike it in one day. The highest peek is lower than Tioga Pass by 1700ft.

    So wheeling is more like a challenge course, so it is mostly limited to old military firing ranges with muddy roads, and swampy areas, sand - more like a test tracks for tanks. Exploring and adventure is more like driving to the place and hike it.

    There are many beautiful places here to hike all over the country and it is easier to appreciate it as you can almost touch it. In USA the beauty is overwhelming by the scale and magnitude. Go to Sierra or Rocky and you can get lost for months, in Poland just walk few hours in one direction and you will get to road or town. It's just different. But the biggest difference and advantage of Poland is that all public land and most of private land is not fenced. Nobody will shoot you for "trespassing". You are free to wonder around as long as you don't damage the crop or walk into someone's house :).

    I live in Wroclaw, a major city in south-west. Close to mountains with many cool places to see. But for such trips I use 4Runner - much more comfortable ride.

    I'm waiting for them to get back in stock to buy.

    I'd be on it in a heartbeat at a discount.

    I just bought Relentless bumpers (Black Friday), I'm now all about the EAF, if they are going to discount further for a group buy, count me in.

    Just an update. Left it out and drove in the rain this past week. Checked my intake box and filter and everything was dry. Wasn’t able to test it in any big puddles though :)

    I think he was joking because someone said, "as long as it's only $100"

    It's possible seeing how quickly they sold out and coming from a non brand name Chinese company.
