Anyone on /o/ frequently off road?
That looks like Arizona.
Posted my story in other thread, but I'm a beginner off road enthusiast
Buy jeep last year
>have driven nothing but a 91 Honda Accord my whole life
>How do I into 4x4?
>dad tells me to stop car, keep foot on breaks, shift to N (automstic) and the move t case SLOWLY to 4 Hi or 4 Lo
>try it off road, works semi OKay but kinda tough
fast forward to yesterday
>off roading with much more experienced 4runner bro
>talking to him about jeep
>cant make it over steep embankment in 2hi
>try to go to 4 low how dad suggested
>gear noise from hell
>won't stay in 4x4
>have to back out
>go home and Google how to do that shit
>read about how jeeps are designed for on the fly 4x4 i.e from 2hi to 4 hi you can literally just pull the transfer case to 4hi while moving up to 55mph
>from 4hi to 4Low you just slow down to 5mph, shift to neutral while rolling, and then pull the t case to 4 low
>never ever should you stop
>confused as fuck, my dad always told me to stop completely
>try it in empty dirt lot by house
>shifts smooth as fuckin butter
>feel the true strength of my straight 6 4.0 engine in 4 low for the first time ever
>cum in pants

Not since I moved to the south from California. There aren't any decent trails out here, and mudding is for CL closetfags in brotrucks.
>>13849717
Your dad would have been correct in older 4x4s. Shift on the fly is different beast.
>>13849723
Ya I don't blame my pops he drove an old beat up 4x4 from like the 60s back in Mexico
>>13849541
>tries to off road around the moors
>drives past old coal mine
>bits of granite fall out of a nearby tall wall and land on car destroying body work
decides off roading = ruined cars
also discovers off roading = no point unless you have to do it to get somewhere/explore
off roading = no where near as fun as track racing.
>tru facts
>>13849717
I still want to know why you didn't just read the fucking manual.
not as much as i used too, but i do have hundreds of miles of fire roads and logging trails to play around on when i finish my k10
>>13850793
>Worrying about scratches and bodywork on an offroad vehicle.
People do this?
I actually wonder which one fucks cars faster; offroading or track racing.
>>13850826
Crushed the rocker panel in on my 2014 wrangler this past weekend, no fucks given. I even laughed. But heaven forbid I get a scratch on my 14 yo prelude and I turn into blubbering raging mess.
Hafta say it depends on the driver. But offroading is very hard on the vehicle if you dgaf.
>>13850892
>not having sliders or boatsides
Normie
>>13850929
Shes a work in progress, currently making a set for it. New rear bumper n fenders too.
Infrequently since my 4x4 comanche is down and my 4x2 comanche is on street tires
Not as much until i order new rear cv axles.
I posted a question about an off road vehicle in the Questions Thread here: >>13851391 I will watch both here and the other thread for replies.
I'd like a vehicle that will be good for both highway and light off roading on the weekend. I'd like to do some car camping, and night photography next year and I like to get my ducks in order and have a solid idea of make and model well before purchasing.
YEAH BRUH ERRY DAY
>>13850823
>fire roads
>logging trails
OP said offroading, that's baby shit.
You are a soft cunt.
>>13851442
>being this mad
>>13851450
I don't think you know the difference between being mad and being disgusted.
>>13851442
See, I have quads and dirtbikes for tight trails. I can take logging roads to work in the truck if I want too
>being upset about this
>>13851616
you don't have quads
you don't even have dubs
get the fuck outta here you big fat liar
>>13851924
Daul 16s like some kinda rapper
Backwoods redneck fur skinnin trapper

niggermode: engaged
>>13852221
I'm not a nigger.
pic related desu.
>>13852190
This encourages violence against police. There should be laws against producing such awful music.
>>13849541
I want too, but I'm trapped in the Suburbs
>>13851421
No one?
Whenever I can :3
>>13850823
My suburban on 1 tons sees action offroad all the time, don't think there is a straight piece of sheet metal on it anymore. Just bought some 41.5x13.5-16.5 PitBull Rockers for it, they're getting mounted this weekend, see pic for comparison between new tire and old 37x12.50s...
>>13849541
God I love the disco.
>>13853099
Thats alot of meat.
It is, monster truck status almost achieved...
Anyone ever done Mountain Mud Run in Warren, NH? I think I want to try it out next year with my XJ after I get a better lift, tires, and a rear locker. Seems like some awesome trails and camping.
>>13850807
I mentioned in the other thread I bought it used as is, no spare, no roof, no working radio, nothing
>>13853541
>buying cars without even owner's manuals
Are you retarded?
>>13853587
>owner manuals can never be bought
>>13849541
I do in my wagon quite a bit but doing so is taking a toll on the car.
Been looking at mid 2000's LandCruisers to replace it.
>>13849717
The '04 Lexus GX470 I bashed up this summer required you to stop when going from High to Low or vice versa.
I'm hoping to hit some trails this winter and camp before it gets too cold. I have a 2007 5sp Outback with a lift and Yokohama Geolandar ATS tires. Obviously not the most capable car around but I don't plan on doing anything crazy.
>>13854259
Go buy one, then. But if the asshole doesn't even have the owner's manual you better pass on it unless it is very rare.
>>13854343
Every vehicle does. 0-3mph is pretty much the universal speed range for shifting gears in the transfer case.
>>13854414
Not Jeep owner Anon. I personally wouldn't have any problem with a sound vehicle missing it's manual as there's the Internet and second hand manuals.
How do you not roast your clutch off-roading in a manual, I literally ruined it only after a few times
>>13857265
Using it very carefully and relying on very low gearing. This is why I won't own a manual car for going off road.
>>13849672
It is, but I don't know where.
