    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    The scale is consistent throughout, 10=best. These were actual tests, and then ranked out of a possible 10 score. STMaxx braking was worst in test, due to its heavy weight I'd presume. Mud run and hill climbs/descents were measured and include "amount of spin". (IIRC, the Yokohama was the only...

    67-79 F250 with modern engine swap is 15+ mpg possible?

    Just my 57 cents: Fwiw, one of the many videos I saw on the Icon Dodge indicated it was a custom one-off for a client (with a very large ranch!).

    Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx

    245/75-16, 2 months ago. I'd write more, but I'm exhausted. Just returned from 1800 mile round trip thru Owyhee. So far, very enthusiastic. Time will tell. Fwiw, this little mud hole stopped my buddy, until he engaged his air locker: (more a fun anecdote than real evidence of anything)...

    1977 chinook custom 4x4

    Sweeeet . "Farkleface" would suggest an advrider, yes? Running a 440? You really need to bring that rig to the All Inclusive NWOL Meat &Eat June 7 out at Wenas Lake! http://northwestoverland.com

    67-79 F250 with modern engine swap is 15+ mpg possible?

    While I indeed prefer a manual trans for muscle cars and for " rallying" a rig through its paces, I prefer an auto for trail use, tricky tight spots, hill climbs, and getting unstuck/keeping from getting stuck. It's a lot easier to not break traction from a dead stop when needing to maneuver on...

    Nicely done with some great ingenuity and originality. Pics and info on the folding step ladder please! What kind of tourque numbers from the 460?

    I can't help it, but, "...literally like new condition" does not include "...a couple of dings from being 9 yrs old". :sombrero:

    67-79 F250 with modern engine swap is 15+ mpg possible?

    I've seen that on google images . Luv that color and overall package, except the wheels and tires. The blue would be sweet down in Tucson, not so much in the pnw. It will always look dirty and unkept from the rain, and then the pollen. In Tucson, you can wash it and it stays clean for...

    67-79 F250 with modern engine swap is 15+ mpg possible?

    Ha! 1983 , on the way to Chiva Falls, right near the top. I'd been mowing lawns in the neighborhood (Michigan, not Tucson!) since 3rd grade to buy that truck!

    67-79 F250 with modern engine swap is 15+ mpg possible?

    Yeah, go rest-mod. I miss my '78. Maybe not my Magnum P.I. shorts, or the girlfriend, but sure do miss the truck.

    Best overall tire suited for Overlanding/Expo?

    Kojack, what tire pressure do you run on pavement to get such high mileage? Snow dozer, that reputation is what kept me from getting DuraTracs. Eastern Washington is sharp stuff.
