We found a back country byway out to the coast, got some dirt road travel time in along a 300-mile tour. Found a little spur trail down to the river which required some 4LO time to navigate and were rewarded by a totally empty gravel bar, which...
Manual, NV4500. I get 16-17mpg normally, which seems low but could be a tune thing. My final drive ratio is ~3.70 (4.88 diff gears from the previous owner and a 9% underdrive in the t-case that I installed) and I’m running 315s. I hear about...
