On the Mogollon Rim after completing a canyon.
Reinforced front spindles with dual shear steering go on this week. Relocated rear shock towers and humongous rear shocks go on in about 6 weeks.
Big 10 day trip in September, to the Maze District in Canyonlands NP, will arrive in no time, so need to be ready for that.

Got off my ass a couple weeks ago and went out. Lost my wheeling friends here so it's been rough. But I'm heading out next week for a long trip to NM. Super stoked.

In other news, I picked up a used Dometic fridge and it's been nothing but problems. Time to go back to SnoMaster and not look back....

Dometic has treated me right in the past (once, for a short period of time), but Snomaster is what two of my really serious buddies run.
I snagged an ARB because I felt like paying a ridiculous amount for a fridge. It is nice though. Very nice

Yeah I still have the SnoMaster CL56 I was using previously. The thing's a tank. But this CFX3 95DZ popped up on TW for a good deal so I snagged it but it just refuses to work properly. I have both zones set to 37 degrees, and onn AC power it works fine, but on DC power, one zone drops to 15-20 degrees and the other rises to 60-70 degrees... I've troubleshot everything up to taking the thing apart and seeing what's wrong.

They were gorgeous

Digging this setup.
Had a productive conversation with the lady while out in the woods about more storage in the back of the camper. Excited to start working on it when it cools down a bit.
More weekend camping

Originally posted by MrBurgundy View PostThat thing looks beefy, but I wonder how it drives with those big tires and all the added weight? Are you on 31s still?
I am on 10" wide 33" tall tires.
Dark grey Taco is on full LT suspension. Tuned F&R shocks, but an off the shelf set of rear leafs (for now).
I'm sitting on a high quality mid travel setup, custom rear leafs and tuned F&R shocks.
Neither one of us even notice that we have campers on the back.
Seems crazy, but it's true.
We aren't low slung rally cars, but speed offroad is of little concern. The lean is definitely noticeable, but it's only extreme on quick changes of directions, like an 'S' curve. Full loose on compression (all 8 shocks have adjustable compression clickers) is fun, but turn em all the way hard and the curves aren't anything crazy.
Our setups just eat up whoops and large bumps.
Outside of fuel economy, we both only notice the added weight and tire size when we are at freeway speeds going up steep grades. Still plenty of pep at slower speeds and more normal inclines.My previous build (currently E30-less)

What's your average fuel economy with your setup?
I get ~18 mpg around town, 45 mph or so.
I get ~16.5 on the highway at 63-65 mph.
I get 9.8 mph at 80+ (which I never do anymore. Haha)My previous build (currently E30-less)
