Mojave Road is an awesome trail. I highly recommend it. The book mentioned above is great, I bought it but never used it while on the trail. I used my gps and had all the sites we wanted to see in the gps. There is a ton of really cool stuff to see. You can do the trail in one or two days...

Since the 3.0s are so anemic I wanted a light weight tire. My current Dick Cepeks are 2 lbs lighter than a K02 and 7 lbs lighter that a KM3(according to tire rack). I know it doesn’t seem like a lot but I really think it makes a difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 33x10.5s on stock rims. 4:56 gears and a 5 speed. I have never felt like I needed to re-gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This conversation has made me realize that my single swing out won’t clear my trailer when it’s attached. One reason I wanted a single swing was to place all the weight of the tire in the middle of the vehicle rather than off to one side or the other. I’ll have to re-think this. Sent from my...

I think I’ve only seen a couple swing outs for 1st and second gens. Can’t think of the companies off the top of my head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think how the hinge is supported will be the limiting factor. The bearings in this hinge are rated at 1000 pounds and it uses 3/4 grade 8 bolt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m using a 4xinnovations double sheer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it’s personal preference. I’m building one now. Going with a single, less moving parts to buy and engineer into the design. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Head gasket was replaced by the dealer at 67k. That gasket lasted until 230k. I had the engine rebuilt and when my machinist pulled the engine apart he said it looked perfect and could have easily gone another 200k. Point being if maintenance has been done the engine is solid except for the...

I am running extreme country's. I like that they are light weight compared to a lot of the other tires (2ply). They were also a lot cheaper than any other MT at the time because I got a $200 off a set of 4. iCloud

I haven’t driven a 3.4 in awhile but I’ll bet I’m pretty close in power now to a stock one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes Dyno only shows 124. I just repeated what the guy told me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is a ton of info here and yotatec regarding this topic. I have rebuilt and modified my 3.0 and it definitely made a difference. See my build at the link below. The guy who did the dyno said his setup is very conservative and thought my motor probably made 180-190 HP but take that with a...

Finally got it to the dyno. Not terribly exciting but I really didn't expect a lot. 93 3.0 4:56 gears 5 speed manual 31x15.5 goodyear duratracs thorley headers flowmaster muffler heads ported and flow tested 4 hole flamethrower injectors engine balanced timing at 10 degrees stock filter and...

Sorry I never saw this. I can do that if you still want it. So this motor has about 10k miles on it. I just had to get it smogged and what a PITA, it took 4 tries. After fixing a bunch of vacuum leaks, doing a tune up, new 02 sensor, checking egr, pair valves, replacing vacuum modulator, it...
