Well Jim, what you wrote was true, or is always true...and your timing quite good. Some hints here now, but I must save the details. Firstly, I'm making yet another run at reviving my neglected blog. Printed magazine work is still my pressing priority, but I've got some things planned...

SEMA Show 2014 coverage in the Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) ...and another. Working on getting some recent past articles posted as well as new and current stuff. http://roadtraveler.net/sema-show-2014/

Still Plays With Trucks articles page added Another revival attempt. Largely a biographical piece, with a what's new ending. http://roadtraveler.net/still-plays-with-trucks-tdr-issue-86/

Congratulations on ordering new tires! :) I'm a Cooper fan but it's always good to try diiffent treads. Unless something has changed, Bighorns are relatively loud and fast wearing, but a good grippy tire. I remain a fan from the sidelines as they are offered in the excellent, 285/75/18 35"...

Good call on both! I dislike how traditional air spring setups limit travel.

CXT I'm digging the tread Frank, I'd like to see them in person. Of course I need another set of tires like more holes... 315s are fine. :)

I had a 1996 F350 for 18 years and used it much off-highway, and those old frames can/do twist lots. Was never a problem for me then but I wan't running a popup camper either. The added space between the cab and camper can be a plus for clearance when you are flexing. Nice work and looking...

X2, looking good!

Mastercraft CXT http://mastercrafttires.com/Tires/Light-Truck/Courser-CXT.aspx Mastercraft is a Cooper brand. The CXT 4-rib commercial traction tire is offered in a 255/85/16, and the specs indicate it is more traditionally sized than the S/T MAXX, 33.15" tall instead of 32.8". It is also...

Not really...the sidebar/second part is about Guayule rubber, a separate topic related to tires overall. In the original magazine layout format, the separation is more obvious.

M Exactly x100 ;) I think something along those lines ('mud tires are not great winter/ice tires') is in the article...

Nice work!

Surely LR E will be firmer than the LR C you are replacing. However, the fact that the Extreme Country is a 2-ply sidewall design should help tame then a bit compared to some others---the Toyo MT comes to mind. ;) James

Nice photo sharing. Good job using your 4WD. :)

I was able to find one locally recently, already converted to 12v, price was fair. I'd wanted one in tan but the one I bought is green camo, and I'm starting to like it (don't want the project/hassle of painting it). Could their be a more rugged off-highway capable utility trailer? At surplus...

Following, as I'm sure many are. Good work. :)

Nice to have a trailer but cool that you still have the camper too. :)

No, all those sizes are different heights, and you need read the specs for the specific brand/tread you are considering. $0.01 :)

Even though I'm not a GM guy, I'm a gearhead who loved reading this thread, all the great mods, upgrades, and camper setups...subscribed! :)

This tread wasn't always under the RTT heading... hmm?
