we are glad you are back. we were wondering what happened to you. it was YOUR fault we went to kofa, and collected full grown mountain lion scat outside our tent. rock on. randy and jill, grumpy old people overlanding.
Been doing some work on the home front including turning an old guest room into a video editing studio. So, after the holiday I'll be back working on post-production 😃. Glad you made it to Kofa and had a little adventure in the process! I'm sure the mountain lion sensed you were grumpy old overland people and made the wise decision to move on 🤣. Thanks for sharing!
Well it WAS about 12 with the 35's and the front bumper. After this build is done probably 10 1/2 to 11 and 10 with the Patriot X3. Off-road I'm hoping no worse than 9. Not too different than our 4Runner but it runs on premium.
he TOLD you not to ask. overland rigs, generally speaking, are about 11 mpg. 35" or larger tires, and a lift and suspension generally trash milage and reduce it to a winnebago with a 460 ford gas engine.
🤣 and like I said we don't really get into overloading for the mileage. Because of that we will also be adding a 25 gal Long Range America gas tank just as we did the the 4Runner. Probably the most useful mod on the 4Runner beyond the basic suspension/tire modifications. Well, I guess they are all useful at one point or another 😛
@@adventurebeyond60 i've got LRA tanks on the JL jeep. jeeps get such good milage. second only to their reliability. second week in april, jill and i have a week down in the bottom of the maze in canyonlands. there is room on the permit for a second vehicle, if you've never been there. holler if interested, and we can discuss it over the phone, and see if it'd be a good fit.
Looks great! Agree 200 is the last of the real US LC's
WOW, WOW, and WOW!!! 😮

This looks like something ai need in my life 😝- so what’s the gas mileage ???

What do you think about the Lexus GXs as compared to the 4Runner and LC?
