TBH last time I drove in Utah I had 200 gallons of diesel and it was about 15 years ago. Anyways to answer your question it starts here:

Ends here. 130 miles round trip on sand.

When I go on long trips I carry 2 2 gallon rotopax mounted to molle panels in my bed.. I've done the full 120 mile round trip at Padre Island National Shore on a tank of gas (with plenty left over) and did a full day at Merus and Amarillo on a quarter tank of gas.. unless you're absolutely...
I'm not trying to argue with you, but I do believe you've identified your problem. You are driving a brick at 75+ mph... and assuming at some point in time you'll encounter a headwind, your truck is going to experience additional wind resistance. You're not driving in a vacuum, trucks (and...

The maximum speed for the EPA highway test is just under 60 MPH, while the average speed is only 48.3 MPH.
I stuck to greens. There were a few blues I could have done but they looked too rocky for my comfort level.. physical comfort not skill.
285/75-17 BFG All Terrain KO3's.
Slow down. With a tail wind I was able to do 350 miles on a tank by doing 63 mph.. hit over 24 mpg and I have bigger tires, a roof rack and a roam case that all added drag. Coming back the other way I averaged about 18 mpg.
It was your post that actually convinced me to not go with diamond plate. I too have the stance but mine is the flat surface.. and while it's close after a few off roading trips I have no rubbing.
I originally wanted the TH but Toyota delayed it longer than I was willing to wait, and then after I saw the price tag... i had a hard enough time justifying more than $50k for a midsized truck, but over 65k? Not gonna happen. I figure with the exception of the better suspension and a few...
I just came back from Merus... did half of the green trails and loved it. I tried the blue test course and was scraping my side steps like crazy.. was already on the books to get a proper slider but I haven't found one I like. Anyways I highly recommend this place. With OnX it's hard to get...
Trip report is still being worked on as I'm still trimming clips..
My wife and I tried to race a cold front headed towards Northern Texas.. and we made it. Kind of. The plan was to spend half a day at Merus Adventure Park and then another day hiking at Caprock Canyons State Park. We got to...
Bit late to the post but my plan later this year is for the C4 Lo-Pro w/out the wings with a Superwinch SX12SR tucked underneath. My dislike for some of the ones out there already is they either stick too far forward of the plastic trim piece making front plates impossible to install flush...
I posted about 10 months ago a 24" Triple-R LED bar I have installed on my roof rack and while browsing their website for new products I came across this:

I do not have this specific light bar that they have (though I was...
And then today I installed the Victory 4x4 molle panel that goes in the bed.. I didn't purchase the sides, only the front...
I moved my Rotopax mount from my roof rack (wasn't crazy about it being up there in the first place).. won't have much room left for my high lift but at least I can...
Could I bug you to get a picture of how the aux lights are mounted on the inside of the bumper? If I end up going with this one.. I won't be using DiodeDynamics and I need to see what it would mount to
Going with bigger tires won't void the warranty. Modifying the suspension will potentially void any warranty work on modified components like shocks and springs, but not the vehicle itself.
