GTAV - General Off Road Discussion | LS 4x4 Crew

Thanks. I'll try this out.

No worries, shouldn't be too tough.

As long as you know how to do dupe a car from SP to MP + use the GTA V save editor you'll be fine

 

[Mudd]

Also I've noticed that upgrading the Mesa's rims makes the whole wheel size smaller, just wondering if this has an effect at all?

I've swapped the wheels back and forth several times and have not felt a difference. However, if you want painted larger wheels, buy the cheapest off-road wheels and paint them your color choice then when you switch back to the original wheels the color will stay.

 

[sprags]

Anyone off roading tonight?

 

[Bino]

Maybe I can for a little? What time?

 

[migo54]

Sure, just give a friend request to migo0999. I'll join and check it out.

Wow didn't know that, thanks for the tip 👍

I've been using the merryweather jeep since yesterday. I really like it (mostly the ground clearance).
However, I noticed that the front wheels are not always working.Only in certain cases. Is it some kind of part time 4WD? Before I use to drive the dubsta (G550) and all 4 wheels are constantly working.

A simple test (easier than having the car high centered) is when i slowly drive the dubsta in front of a wall/big rock/pole and start accelerating after making contact, the 4 wheels are turning. However, when I do the same test with the merryweather jeep, only the rear wheels are turning.

I know they have mistakenly removed the 4WD function of the sandking. I was wondering if the merryweather jeep has always been like that or if something has changed after a patch?

The MerryMesa has always been awful. I don't like it because of its awful "4WD" system and it's high center of gravity, which leads to way too many rollovers.

It's because the 4WD torque split on the MerryMesa is 10 front 90 rear.

Someone on reddit went into the handling files and found the torque splits for every 4WD car.

thanks for the info

Hey Guys,

Just recently got into offroading on GTA V. My brother and I have been offroading for the past two weeks or so and I honestly can say it's more fun than what the game offers through missions, etc. I've created my own custom offroad Point-topoint races and am looking for some Xbox offroaders to hang with online. Seems to be plenty of pull from the PS3 side of things. My gamertag is ValuableJunk. Hit me up!

Hello all,

I've been pretty busy the past few months, so I havn't had time to arrange any proper meet ups on the Xbox. That and @Xavier2342 has done a bit of a disappearing act. Anyway, if anybody on Xbox is wanting to hit some trails, I'm definitely up for it because I want to properly try out my Rebel without having to walk 20 minutes when I trash it XD.

 

[sprags]

Anyone comin online for abit bored isnt the word

I've sent you a crewinvite and friend request on SocialClubs. I'll try to catch you online when you're next on.

How do you guys like the new Dubsta 6x6!!!

 

[GTPorsche]

It has a minor tendency to bounce/flip over when hitting terrain at too high of a speed. It also has the ability to bash lightweight cars out of the way.

Wasn't able to climb it up the side of Chilliad like I could with the Sandking, so there's a small negative.

 

[Bino]

too bad we can't have the same lift at LS Customs for the dubsta 4x4

 

[WraithofVern]

I havn't actually yet tried out the new 6x6 Dubsta, I did hear rumours however that it was more like a 6x4 Dubsta. This update has completely cleaned me out so far on buying the Warrener and Pigalle, I'm also looking at the Glendale and obviously the 6x6 Dubsta.

You feel like a tank once you go rock climbing and its faster than all the other trucks in the off-road category STOCK:tup:

I've tried it in SP and I saw all 6 wheels turning when high centered

 

[Dan]

Is the Sandking still the superior off-roader (Excluding The Liberator for obvious reasons)?

I believe so.

 

[Dan]

I believe so.

Ok then.

I was driving a mostly stock Dubsta 6x6 (Resprayed, changed wheels, light window tint) up Mt. Chilliad today in singleplayer. It is a lot of fun and I will most definitely purchase one online when I hit Rank 100 (Currently 75). I'm still surprised how well it drives without any performance mods. Plus, it's very smooth and fun to drive in hood view.

Yeah it is but one problem I have with the 6x6 is its very slippery. .. but to me the Sandking is the best!!!

Yeah, I did notice that with the 6x6.



Yesterday, I got a cool idea for the 6x6 if we ever got a snow map to play on whenever we wanted to: A Benefactor Dubsta Half-Track!

It will almost certainly never be made by R* but hey, I can dream, right?

OMG that would be awesome I would definitely spend some GTA$ On that

I was thinking about Ken Block's trax STi while driving the 6x6. I was like "That would be perfect for this truck on a snow map!"

 

[Dragonistic]

I've just sent my request to join the crew, I've been off-roading for an age and feel like I end up in the same spots over and over. Hoping other off-roaders will drag me to places I've not seen before.

Car wise I just got a Rancher XL to add to my usual Mesa which I'm really enjoying. Not the best off-roader but I like the look of the thing and it is good enough to be viable without being so good everything is easy.
