Approaching 200k miles on a truck to traverse cartel territories is not an adventure that I'd embark on willingly... Hitting the mean streets of Sinaloa in limp mode while loaded on some wine is likely not going to end well. I think it is time to retire the ol beast to Domestic Desert Duty DDD. Where it can be serviced on a whim without life endangerment

None of this happens. Unless you consider every square inch of MX to be cartel territory, which you do, and indeed is not an unreasonable position I'm not going to get into my general safety precautions but I am aware that I am operating a 20 yoa vehicle is not without its perils.

Well it is a foreign country in which you're somewhat seen as a golden goose. So I would just proceed with caution. Lets us know what the mechanic says...

What a great week for a few of us with regards to vehicle performance.

Well there's the rub. One of the reasons the wifepiece and I draw ZERO attention in MX is because we a middle aged couple driving car with no flash. I'm not Brandon with the top off my Jeep, flexing my lats to create a solar exclipse with four surfboards. Or driving a G-Wagen or RR, etc. That said, there are probably newer options I should consider........boring soul sucking derpmobiles. Ford Explorer. Chevy Traverse. I should make a list.

My shipyard buddies from south of the boarder did always warn me not to cross it with the Jeep. One of the cartels favorite vehicles to steal according to them.

One was from Sinaloa funny enough.

What's really more reliable ?

BMW ramz and tires came. Because I can actually rotate these with the square setup and because YOLO and because multiple forum verifications that I can run this particular tire square @ 255 40 18 without rubbing, I got another set of Michelin PS4S. I'll put them on this weekend. New Brostein B8s and strut mounts and an alignment on Monday. Should be a nice refresh. I'll put the old Ramz and tires on Craigslist. Tune in for encounters with lowballing vapers. Pics this weekend.

Square setup or , there's no compromising bro-hood here, you owe it to yourself, and the DFD-crew to get those on right MEOW! So many lost days, so much IG flex opportunities missed.

I don't think so ... May want to keep looking for something outside of Fraud.

Has to be a bit more durable to be able to ram through a roadblock

I will certainly wait until the early morning hours. They have been stacked in or living room for two weeks. To her credit, my wife has not said a word.

Nice! Post pics of the upgrades when you can.

Man being in Mexico I'd be tempted to get a mid 2000s Prado or something or a Patrol if those were ever available there. Though I don't think keeping the Tahoe is really a bad idea. It can be fixed easily in Mexico as well.

The Tahoe has apparently reached Acura "take it out of my cold dead fingers" status so it's going to stay somewhere.

Pics of the new sweet Apex ramz shod with 2554018 square PS4S, also added Bilstein B8s. Its a whole new world of ride and handling, I should have done it when I drove the car off the lot. Now at 44.5K miles. This will keep the at bay.












Somebody asked for a pic of the ramz in the living room, wish granted.
