>>2792501>samurai barely fits throughThose exist, but like I said I drive to the tops of mountains daily to service telecommunications towers and I havent found a road that I couldn't traverse with some creativity with a full sized truck. Also gotta remember this is /out/ not /org/. In theory you are driving to the trailhead or innawoods to go camping or hiking. When you can't go on rubber you go on foot. But you can go really far on rubber with a high clearance 4x4 even with a longer wheelbase.
>>2792516>is that your rig with the idaho platesYeah, ive got like 30 of the fuckers. Most of them are diesels but I have a few gassers. If you are buying a diesel get one with a manual transmission. The autos were fine, the IDI didnt have enough power to break the e4od unlike the powerstroke, and the C6 is pretty unkillable mechanically, but the C6 uses an unobtanium vacuum modulator to set shift points and the e4od has a bunch of electrical stuff so i stick with the simpler manuals. Until 88 it was an unkillable but low geared 4 speed, either a T18 or NP435. After 88 its a ZF5 S41 which is a very strong transmission with a granny first and decent overdrive ratio in 5th. Probably the best balance of low speed crawling and highway drivability. The 4 speeds also have a granny first which idles at walking speed but 4th is direct drive and in an IDI that tops you out at 65ish mph depending on your rear end gearing. They are pretty bullet proof. They don't like to start without glow plugs or a sniff of ether under 35 degrees. Keep in mind the newest IDI is 30 years old at this point so prepare to have to replace rubber brake hoses and rubber fuel lines if the previous owner has not, those just crack and swell with age.
