What bed height did you go with so that you so I don't have clearance issues with gooseneck trailers? Nice truck, BTW.

What speeds are you wanting to traverse washboard & rough surface roads? How heavily loaded are you? And what tire pressure psi are you airing down to? Since you have a 75 series profile tire, airing down appropriately should provide good benefits. Depends on sidewall construction & load rating...

I'll take it. I live in SoCal & could probably pick up as early as late afternoon today / this eve if you're in. PM sent.

Piqued my curiosity since I think my Excursion with 8" lift on 37 Toyo M/Ts rides pretty well. I knew my X had an all spring lift, with Bilstein double resi 7100s in front & single Bilstein 7100 non-resi smoothies + in-cab adjustable Firestone Ride-Rite airbags out back; but I just went &...

Great looking truck. I'd love to have a CC LB of some sort myself too. But, before you get too far down the road, wouldn't a diesel Excursion, with 137" wheelbase (37" shorter than a 174" wheelbase CC LB) and seating for 7 (given that you're expecting your 4th child) make more sense for you?

You left out "and awesome". :D

I thought the ambulance battery boxes were supposed to pivot down to allow battery access / replacement. But after a long time procrastinating, I finally got around to ordering one, and mine looks exactly like yours, incl. the 2 cable tethers. Is one really supposed to have to loosen the 4 bolts...

I'll take the 1' x 30' Super Yanker Kinetic Recovery rope.

Hi Jon, Awesome travelogue, thanks for posting. As someone who was born in S.A. and lived there for 18 years or so (ages 0-9 months; and ages 5-22: '75-'92), I can obviously relate to much of your travelogue. Cape Town is unique & certainly has its own places of interest & charms, but in...

Smart dad.

I'd probably go with your spacer idea, perhaps in conjunction with clearancing the top ear of the lift pump mounting bracket, before making irreversible changes to the body.

Please post pics when you teach your daughter to slide sideways over the bridge, with both front & rear bumpers almost grazing the guard rails. :D

Yep, the fluted design of the 99-01' headlights suck, especially when hazed over, which is what mine were. I upgraded to the 02-04 design, which has a much better lens reflector. Putting HIDs in housings not designed for them just annoys other drivers, and spills too much usable light. I have...

Toyo MT in 17 x 12.5 x 35 is E rated & has a 3,640 lbs max load raring per tire. And, yep, as pointed out above, very quiet on the road for an MT type tire & aggressive enough tread to be good off road too, though they are indeed heavy.

I run Toyo MTs in 17 x 13.5 x 37, Load range E, 10 ply, 4,350 lbs weight capacity per tire, on a lifted diesel Ford Excursion. 13.5" width corresponds to ~ 345 metric. Aired down to ~ 20 psi, they are probably closer to 400 metric wide, and I was able to climb the sand dune adjacent to Chocolate...

As far as I know, none of the BT GPS modules have a built-in compass. However, many apps can compute headings by comparing current GPS position vs. last or recent GPS position.

Last time I checked the Toyo AT II wasn't available in sizes as large as 37". I have the Toyo MTs in 17 x 13.5 x 37, and really like them so far after a couple of thousand miles, I switched from Goodyear Wrangler radial military surplus MTs to the Toyo MTs & it's a world of difference. The...
