Awesome pics.

I’m from Vancouver BC, but if I ever get my maverick I’d love to come down and maybe get a group of us out there if you’ll have a Canuck. I want to do some of this type of thing, but going alone doesn’t seem as fun.
For sure man. I grew up in Ottawa myself. Just hit me up if you ever come down.

And much safer, you dont want to get stuck out on these roads alone.

I'll hang with you Canadians any day, I even speak Canuckese..."eh?"........See??? (y)
I agree, I have listened to too many murder podcasts as well to want to sleep out in the desert without some friends. Always looks better to have a few trucks parked together!

Honestly Morty, you would be in good company. So many Canadians winter here in the Palm Springs/ Coachella Valley areas, there is a magazine that is called "Canada South", lol. That is unless you come here mistakenly to get away FROM Canadians. ;)

That’s hilarious. Well, when my Area51 MY22 or 23 arrives I’ll reach out to you guys, and get a little group trip organized.

I see that 3 of us are or will be XL owners. Maybe we have a new sub-group for the "FXPOORS" (y)

Took my Mav finally for a little off road drive at Joshua Tree since I installed the 245 70 KO2s and the lift kit. I had considered getting 245 75s but these will definitely need trimming and I didn’t want to make those alterations plus those wheels would be much heavier and eat up more gas.

She did surprising well on dirt, sand and occasional rocks. I’m glad that we didn’t get into any sticky situations though I came prepared with recovering hardware.

Clocked in at a whopping 33MPG at the start on the highway for about the first 50 miles but at the end of the 400mile trip I had 27. Not bad for a 2.0 with all the LA traffic and mountain roads. The KO2s are though pretty noisy on the road.

If anyone in South California looking to do some light off roading, hit me up✌

No 4K. I wish I did because of the front hooks which could come in handy but oh well. I have a level. Personally anything higher would look silly given that it’s a small truck with a narrow body which with a higher lift make it narrower.

I did 30. Though I was advised by many people to go around 25 but I did just fine. It also depends if the road was complete deep sand. If driving on a beach I’d def make it lower.
