Yeah, that's a great idea. When there is no diff cover, you kind of have limited options. Who's going to pull the carrier to change fliud?

Lol. I hit my head on the shower nozzle again. Someone should add crane truck / fire truck hydraulic out riggers to the front of the frame between the cab and box, where the spare tires go. You could use them as spare tire mounts and lifts, and to self right the truck.

Just a point of view difference. Toyota vs Superduty. My truck has inches less clearance under the diff, an 2-3 times the weight on it. Oddly, I worry about my shock mounts as well, but they're scratch free, ironically.

Well, your supposed to do a visual inspection for corrosion and dirt(from clutch wear). It's only a few extra minutes to do correctly. The diff covers I'm adding will have fill plugs on them. But I have no interest in a drain hole. It would just add a weak spot. Don't forget how many...

Sounds like a bearing to me.

I didn't see anything wrong with what the ZF guys are saying. Clutch grit, moisture, heat, and pressure are all going to wear fluid. I'll change mine out at 50k (accelerated interval because truck is a low mile weekend warrior)

Fox ATS damper is still vaporware. As soon as they catch up, that's the one to get. I'm going to 2.5 or 3.0's.

Not so fast. The heavy duty "max load" F250 is a debadged F350. For insurance and licensing stuff. The brakes should be the same. I haven't noticed any difference. In the past we had vacuum assist, and hydraulic assist mixed and matched with certain packages. I don't think that's...

Is this an Izzuzu thing or a GM???? Do you have a 14 bolt rear axle?:

Standard battery and the HD alternator is fine for me. Just stick to decent quality batteries. I don't want my house batteries to have anything to do with winching. How much winching do you plan on doing? Generally, fullsize's are easy on winches...

Great photchop skills. But those tires are eating way into the fenders. I guess a Sawzall could fix that.

Nails, wood, and staples can be plenty tough when done right. It really is HOW, not WHAT. http://www.truckcamperadventure.com/2017/02/why-wood-frame-construction/

If I was west coast, I'd be interested in one. But I'm North East and looking at some winter travel soon.

Everything on a super reliable japanese sport bike will be completely wasted on used bikes. People run them into the ground because they're reliable. But service intervals are the same as an Italian bike. Difference is, the red bike won't run right without those services. Same idea. I...

I usually have all the bugs worked out by then. But I'll never buy a jeep or Ford, used, ever again. Really any American car used. Just buying other peoples problems.

Oh yeah. The pop tops on the bed are handy though.

Yeah, I found a budweiser can stamp under the hood.

Lol. That's a lot. But I still blame the escape plant. Avoid the chrome door latches.

Then don't get the plat. And the Escape was supposed to be a junky consumer car.

Get both. Cables for street use. Chains for mud. They're cheap. Good tires won't eliminate the need for either. I just use chains, because I don't struggle on the street at all, in my AO.
