Post your off-road pics.

Went out on a pretty spicy trail. Guy in a wrangler sport was stuck on these stair steps so we had to trail build to get him out.

Had to park on the side of a rather steep section to get him past us. Wife was a bit uncomfortable sitting at a 28* angle on a rocky slope. Hah.

im curious what your experience with the offroad info display is-

my suspicion is that it takes a little while to refresh, or it averages over a certain time interval. it seems that it never shows the pitch or camber that is quite as extreme as i suspect, but then i am rarely at those angles for more than a few moments. i wondered if you park/stay at those angles that is when it is actually a representative read.

or maybe it registers instantaneously, but i never look at the dials at the right time because i am trying not to roll the truck..

Anytime I’m off road it responds within seconds of the change. I’m not sure if it’s speed based and if you are going faster it will average differently than going slowly. As I backed up that slope it changed while I was moving. No real delay.

I use the gauge to level the truck when setting up camp and it’s accurate enough to make setting up camp really easy. It’s never off more than 1 degree.

3 days of driving around Reveille Peak Ranch while hauling a bed full of guns, ammo, and gear.
Not as “off-road” as many have shown here, but the trail roads between stages definitely made the new tires and suspension shine.

One thing to add too, the angle of the slope is way less than it ever "feels" like. If you draw an angle of 30 degrees on a piece of a paper, it looks pretty small, but if you sit on a 30 degree surface, it feels like you're looking straight down. The most you'll ever see on a typical paved road is a few degrees so that might be way the gauge feels inaccurate/pointless.

I use my offroad display for tent setup also. It is perfect for that, don't even need to get out of the truck to make sure I am good. I have always felt the display changed quickly with little to no delay. It is often hard to look when things get interesting and agree it never feels the same as it looks. Like watching video of trails make them look easy and low angle but in reality they are scary.

I think we crossed paths at Canyonlands!

Here are my Moab pics, did Gemini Bridges back from Canyonlands to Arches.

Took a bunch of other pics, but these are by far the prettiest.

I was thinking you would probably be on here! We had done Gemini Bridges the day before after doing Fins and Things. After we finished Canyonlands we did the Fallen Peace Officer Trail off of 191. The next day we went to Bryce Canyon and then Zion the day following.

Did my first little bit of off-roading with the new ranger this weekend to genoa peak in Lake Tahoe. it was definitely a success.. I have a feeling there will be much more to come. I already got the rear tire off the ground descending this trail, so I think some mods will be in order soon...

out in the arizona desert

couldn't have gotten here in our old minivan.

Had a lot of fun today.

Was having a good time in Joshua Tree today testing out the new tires I got on Wednesday

Until about 2 hours later when I found this after noticing this tire was at 13psi instead of 24...

I love this APG Ranger. Get's me wherever I want to go.

My wife and I had a blast on 'fins n things' in moab last weekend. as usual no impressive photos, as ive got a white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel and my wife prefers to be in the truck not in the dust

below is one shot from the second half. we had a blast riding up and down these sandstone waves, and struggled through the steps with no drama to get here, other than leaving some scrapes on the departure hardware

of note, we did two things to improve our departure angle for this trail. which was a persistent issue on this trail in our stock truck.

1) new 32" tires, for a tad bit more clearance/angle.

2) whacking the tow hitch repeatedly on the exit. now that the steel fins have been bent up i bet we get an extra degree or two
