Well, "when it rains it pours". We finally got our insurance- thanks Pugslyy for the commercial idea. Several companies were open to insuring it through our LLC set up for the truck. Wound up with Progressive at about $100 more a year. But during this time, we had a medical concern...

Czechsix- Gulf Way will only insure me or anyone else, if I am on a “drag racing team or a drag race car owner”. Gait- Alessi only insures you if you are not a legal resident or citizen of the country you are in. Good news if I want to Trek anywhere but the US. And as far as...

Update- Day 4, only conclusion is that most insurance agents are DEAF! But I have found two that are giving me some hope- just not much. Good Sam insurance is National General- no mods- although funny enough a school bus conversion is fine. With no attached camper/trailer on frame- several...

Well, on Friday I got a non-renewal notice from Progressive. We have had their insurance for three years. The reason “…has an unacceptable body style”. So what triggered this? Turns out Progressive does not do their underwriting at the beginning, but once a claim is filed, then your folder...

Yes- but if they had just included a note or even spoke to to you as they were taking your money about the critical placement of the balancing weights- the tire shop wouldn't have ruined your wheels. I say ruined- cause if you believe that 325 to 385 pounds of torque pressure on six nuts per...

If you like water, dust, cold air, etc.... coming through your windows while you drive, i would highly recommend the backwards mount. Also while mounting the fiberglass cassita, make sure you cause no flex issues. You can cause lots of spider cracks and on such a delightfully thin and lite...

We have found ourselves in a few situations where more power would have been better. Trying to figure out what might give a 2015 FG (still under warranty) more power at all altitudes. Based on what I think I know, the Steinbauer with the prolonged fuel injection, it seems that would not work...

I have spent quite a few weeks this year driving in and around mountains and higher altitudes. I have been on dozens of passes over 10,000 feet. My highest on dirt/gravel unimproved roads was Hagerman Pass (11,925’) west of Leadville, Colorado. On asphalted roads it was Independence Pass...

I had the wheels looked at on Tuesday. What they found was that two of my three bad wheels had what they called "center hub bend". They said that could have been from the manufacturing or from not tightening the wheel properly. The third has a definate hump that could only have happened in...

I bought five 16 X 8 forged alloy wheels from EC about 1.5 years ago. I mounted 315/75R16 Cooper ST/Maxx. From the get go I was never satisfied with the balancing. I posed my problems here on ExPortal. We could never get the wheels to balance. The closest we got to a non-vibration ride was...

Well- here is what I hope is the solution. Mock

I really want to gain some of the low end performance back that would be provided with less tall tires. The switch to 295/75R16’s seems like a viable option. I am looking at the BFG KO2 and the Toyo AT2. The impressions that I am getting from the local tire shops here in the Rockies, that...

Okay- I think I have a good answer for myself- but, not the final answer. I did a lot of research and found a web site that does calculations for tire size changes and how it affects your effective gear ratio compared to stock. So since the FG I bought had 235/85R16 and the optional 5.714...

I had a nasty little surprise about a month and a half ago. We were driving on some trails in the Arizona Strip, when the red “Eng Sys” light went on. After looking around the truck, what we spotted was the def hose to the def dosing nozzle was hanging. It had broken away where the...

Nick- We have 30,000 miles on the odometer and have had the weight reset twice. Unfortunately, per the mechanics, it pretty well sets itself to your weight in just a few hundred yards. So unless you are near a hill: no joy. I was also told that sometimes the reset doesn't take. I would be...

I have the MasterCraft Baja RS. They are covered nicely and the finish is first class- mine is in a dark gray and light gray. The seat back has a very large map book holder and we sprung for the huge zip up pocket (which can easily hold a large pair of binoculars, thermos and what ever else I...

Sorry about the lack of information in regards to my truck and conditions. It is a 2015 US version with a 5.714 ratio. Most of these incidents took place prior to resetting the transmission for my finished build weight. Since resetting the transmission (twice), all of my driving has taken...

This will be a bit of a convoluted question. I have Cooper 315 75R16 on singles on my 2015 FG. After 1 year and 30,000 miles, I have yet to get stuck. The tires have about 9/32” to bald. I have been on some interesting trails (Shafer Canyon to White Rim Rd to Gooseberry Campsite, in CanyonLand...
