Honestly the “go to“ solution for most is probably still good ol 5 gallon Jerry cans. But if you mean adding a sub tank, that has only really been available in the US for about a year for the 200 series besides crazy imports and custom helps Talk to Georg at Valley hybrids where they sell 16, 24, and 40 gallon sub fuel tanks for the 200 series. I have the 24 gallon because it tucks so nicely.

It talks nice?

Where does the Aux tank go? Where the spare resides?

Like for real tho? Read this thread and you'll see my skepticism.

Maxtrax Xtreme

1/21/19: Now with homepage article. https://expeditionportal.com/maxtrax-extreme-first-field-test/ Are the Xtreme versions available for purchase? Has anyone tested these yet? Any occurrence of teeth ripping out? I worry about being able to replace one if the threads are damaged...

expeditionportal.com

Each year they kept getting pushed back and I had even heard from a dude who was helping them test in the summer of 2017, and he said back then they were going to be right around the corner.

SEMA 2017 - said they'd be available spring 2018: SCOOP: MAXTRAX Xtreme, Mini & Jax Base - EXPLORING ELEMENTS
SEMA 2018 - said they'd be available January 2019: SEMA 2018 - OutdoorX4

Nice replaceable studs that when replaced cost as much as their current sets. Makes the knockoffs seem like the best buy ever! Use and abuse, then simply replace.

 

[TonyP]

Fun fact, you can buy replacement metal studs for your non-metal studded traction mat. Save some coin.

@mcgaskins

For real. I could have walked away with as many as I wanted. They're only available in orange.

Is Dobinson or OME running any deals? A suspension upgrade is next on my list.

At $500... I’ll just not get stuck, so that way, I don’t need to buy them.

Problem solved, problem stayin’ solved. RLTW!

Not sure about OME but Dobinson wasnt. But they did have a portable compressor that I was very interested in.

I read somewhere, need to find it, that you can't get more than 140 miles from a "road" in NA. So figure you get to mile 139 just can't pass and need to turn around. You're at 280 back, plus some mileage to the gas station.

Edit: may have been 140 miles in US, not NA. But I can't find the source sooo.....

Klondike highway to Eagle plains gas is 370 km’s or 230 miles. While towing I have a range of 300 km’s.

And I thought the $250 I paid for the MKII's were ridiculous, screw that.

 

[ckkone]

2008 to 2016+ interiror upgrade.... I wonder if this is really plug and play?
