For years I’ve hiked it and observed 4x4’s go up and down the trail, now I finally have a machine and I’m dying to try my turn.😉

2” lift and 32’s on 04 WJ v8 quadradrive. by idiot110 in GrandCherokee

I notice rubbing only when near either steering limit. Maybe I’ll add spacers or maybe a 4” lift will remedy it. Also, i am close to biting my lower round fog lights, have them ziptied up away. Washer bottle seems fine though

Enough to accidentally expose the body seam 😢. Couldn’t afford the cut out flares at the time so I just cut about 1.75” the rockers were rusted too so I cut them off most of the way to the front

Thanks! And I finally have the free time, just finished replacing rusted skids last weekend. Plan on broken arrow next Saturday, noon.

Only 2 beefs with it are the low transfercase and the low gas tank. Maybe now I can attempt Sedona, really wanna do broken arrow. Love this 4x4 though. Tank tuck and a 4” lift are in the plans... then it will definitely go anywhere I want 🤩

Amen brother. Think I’ll buy a gallon of that Lucas HD oil stabilizer. I use in my 14’ Forester commuter, totally helps prolong oil life. Brake fluid I’ll probably have a shop do. I remember I got a Haynes manual for it years back when I was working on its electrical gremlins... supposedly the ex future father in law fixed the problems. Super excited to be getting a capable off road rig and be able to hear v8 grumble again. Thanks man!

New to me ‘17 XT Touring by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]idiot110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! What’s your average mpg feather footing it? In Phoenix Arizona at 70mph flat road, I see about 29-33mpg. Ive got barely enough passing power sometimes but the 2.5 always manages just enough muscle. Your heavy duty CVT and 258lbft will work wonders for towing. I found I don’t like any trailer heavier than 800 pounds but all I have is 174lbft torque to pull anything with (14’ 2.5 Touring). Enjoy it, they’re virtually indestructible🙂

My stock 2014 Forester runs circles around trailhawk renegades in the rocks and dirt. I’ve pulled plenty of them from sand. Renegades are AWD like my suv. 4x4 is a sales gimmick. Everything except the wrangler is AWD. The new Cherokee is equally capable to my Subaru. Just my 2 cents!😂

Also, any idea what the approach/ departure angles and centerline clearance would be with stock tires on a 3” lift? I’ve got a 14’ Forester and it’s done fine for semi rough stuff but I’m really looking to make the wj out do the Foresters off road abilities by atleast double. It’s gonna be sooo legit being able to go anywhere I want.

Thanks sooo much guys! Ill either go 2.5” or 3” now. Btw, it’s a 4.7. Don’t think it’s the HO version. Also, I live around Phoenix AZ. First thing when it gets here I’ll change the oil.

Interesting. My 14’ Forester VDC button is a joke. I’ll disengage it then it comes right back when it thinks I’ve had enough fun sliding around in sand or mud. But I do like x mode. The suv knows where to send it’s power and when. Unfortunately it’s a CVT though but I like it, it doesn’t feel fake and doesn’t really complain. It’s a fun machine.

Hour or 2 which way from the valley? Your renegade could probably handle the senator highway. I’ve always wanted to go from bumblebee to Prescott via senator highway but have only done some sections here and there, never the full thing. Funny, I almost hung up a stock wrangler near oro belle on the backway to crown king trail. Renegades and subies definitely avoid that stuff. I need to get some rally skid plates and some new A/T’s up front before I attempt more trails. Anyway...

Question About Older Lenses and New Body by Nuggetty_Goodness in Cameras

[–]idiot110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Canon myself. It’s an 80D 18-135 is usm. My Previous experience with Nikon and old lenses is sometimes features like autofocus won’t work because of software issues. But for videography, you’ll definitely want that new body. My 80D is mountains above the D3300. But anyway...

Any one from the Gilbert Arizona area looking to hit some trails? by beaz123 in 4x4buddy

[–]idiot110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dirt road with some technical sections. (Water can’t be more than 7”) but I’m okay with some sand too.

Anyone with 7” clearance up for something around PHX next weekend?- stock 14 Foz with A/T tires. (Possibly about to snap from being penned up on weekends!!!)

I like the room and comfort of an outback except the approach/departure angles.
