    Between KDMax 9.0 and a few small things, my off-road automatic clears 300 horsepower at the Dino and gets 25 miles per gallon.

    I know a few guys that have done this, works great. And it doesn't violate safety standards for those counties that have safety inspections since you're still dumping out way behind the passenger area

    I think I am going to cut min just in front of the axle. Any issues in Wi for this? I read somewhere that some states require that the pipe must exit aft of the rear axle.

    You could probably add a turn down tip to be safe.

    Maintenance. Not driving with yuge tires and armor. Bed cover.

    Also, stick to factory parts when it comes to your engine. Spark plugs (they're already iridium, cheaper than so called high performance plugs, and built to a higher standard), oxygen sensors etc. A high flow dry air filter is fine, but most aftermarket engine "performance boosters" are snake oil.

    Keep those intakes clean. Cleaning your throttle body and throttle bore once every 50,000 ish won't hurt.

    And then




    ... Don't drive like a pissed off teenager :D





    Now, my fun truck, the MT with the tires and armor, gets like 14 mpg around town. 16-18 on the highway though, 20 for long trips. Still need to get 4.88s for it

    They don't do it justice, but you need convincing: We don't usually see this amount of snow until end of February.

    No, I was planning on getting one soon though. Now I'm going to wait and see how things pan out.

    I’ve had an inreach for a few years now and it definitely is nice to have. Its going to be interesting to see what happens over the next few years between this, apples partnership with globalstar and the tmobile starlink deal

    I don’t think we are too far off from having sms anywhere but it’s gonna be a while still for voice or data.

    This would be better if those weren't pictures of low profile bro-dozer tires.
