    You meant this link: I wouldn't try it on the river like that, but LMTV should be able to ford water far higher than this. It is a diesel engine, as long as the air take is higher than the water. ;) PS: SS prevents the link show up xxxx://@@@@.com/view?t=sBwvY_1594056907 Replace xxxx...

    Which design is better for the non-rock climber as an Overlanding Vehicle, the 4x4 or 6x6? An expert weighed in

    Damn, I missed the Black Bear trail. Start at 19:00 min. :) Not much rock crawling, but highly technical and the line you take will determine your fate.

    Which design is better for the non-rock climber as an Overlanding Vehicle, the 4x4 or 6x6? An expert weighed in If you need the room and payload, a 6x6 will be the choice. But it comes with a lot more expensive to maintain and operate. And of course the limited manipulability on the trail...

    Hmmm... it is interesting to know. I am new to expedition vehicles, but a die-hard rock crawler. I want to build an EV to travel the continents and live off the grid. Jeep Wrangler is just too small even towing with a 1/4 ton army-like trailer. It is just big enough for short term use...

    remember TREAD LIGHTLY. Finesse not brute force, don't permanently alter the trail. :p it is unlikely that the expedition vehicle will wheel with a bunch of Jeepers. They don't share the same objective.

    Aside from better payload and 6 wheels contact points on the ground, a 6 x 6 is better. However, in real-life situations, it is the driver and the line he or she takes makes a BIG difference. After rock crawling all over the country in the last 20 years, I have seen good driver skills...

    Looking for FMTV owners in Maryland

    Oh.... I am all for doing the legal way. I have never taken a short cut in my life. If there is a legal and viable way to be in compliance with the Maryland law. In the letter that MVA sent to the inspection stations in Maryland in Jan 2019, it clearly stated that they are banning any...
