Re: project 57OKY

sucks about your licence i was on a suspension 4-5 years back and got done driving, automatic 2 years and $660 fine. so as tempting as it may be just dont drive on the road bro. get some one else to drive there then take over.

Re: project 57OKY

tyres pressures were the same as road use, i might have got a little more traction if they were deflated a little bit, but 2 weeks earlier i had 31" maxxis bighorns on with the same tyre pressure and i took the same tracks i did with the 33's with ease. Im no 4x4 expert, as i just got into the ...

theoretically you can push until the suction nozzle is out of the water... For me you should also make waterproof electrical system... I've seen many times 3.0V6 (generally gasoline powered off road veichles) with electrical problems during or after a ford... Diesel ones are less sensible to water ...
