Sarek, I love that truck! I got 255/60/r18 nitto terras to give it a little more oomph. Its worked out pretty good thus far but i definatly would want some bigger tires and a bit of lift.

Moab would be incredible im sure. I made the xdrive permanent 50/50 locked all the time. Its a pretty simple mod, however, obvious issues if u were to drive on the street

The Rubicon Trail run is west of Lake Tahoe, in California.

I am in the process of replacing the transfer case to get low gearing (main issue i am having with the e53 off road). I have someone working on the adapter right now. It gives the option to run any domestic type transfer case. Like dana 300, NV1356, np205 and so on.

Here are before and after pictures of the radiator/ electric fan mod I am working on. You can see how much the original radiator sticks down compared to the replacement. Will help with approach angle. Next comes the custom bumper.

No snorkel plans yet. That long intake pipe can affect engine performance. So far I have had water over the hood momentarilly and have soaked the interior, however the air filter stayed dry! The stock intake is a pretty good design utilizing a type of trap design with a drain. Roof lights would be pretty cool.
