Somewhere way back on this forum is a long article from some of the guys who ran tours on the beach down under. They said the most important thing is to stop and let the axles cool before entering water or the heat will draw water in through the wheel seals. I have driven through 4 feet of...

I have the Bolton 17's . I have run both BFG AT 37's and Pro Comp all terrain 37's. Have been very happy with the setup. Wouldn't mind downsizing to 35" but there aren't any in a 17" size with adequate weight rating. If your truck has the taller final drive these tires will be too big...

Got the side all cleared in preparation for the new 5‘ x 2‘ x 2‘ weather tech box. Excited to have more storage! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

looking good!

The bin containing the water heater was a horribly inefficient use of space. Moving the water tank there will free up a giant bin for storage-(on the right)

One thing leads to another. Our water tank sprung a leak so I ordered a new one. I haven't been happy with the location of the water tank as it is directly over the fuel tank which magnifies weight change from empty to full. In talking with my wife we decided to remove the water heater as...

In preparation for our 10000 mile road trip next month I just received $1500 worth of spares from Tom's Truck Center in California. After having repeated lackluster experiences with my local Rush Truck Center I decided to explore other opportunities. Couldn't be more pleased. Significantly...

Don't be disheartend by the horrible injury causing ride on the way home.

Don't tempt me!

I had the same problem. Brand new tires were square. They balanced ok, but if you jacked the axle up off the ground and spun the tire you could see a couple of them were nearly 3/4 inch out of round. Allan

Hmm.... I just transfer the liquor to plastic containers and ditch the glass. Don't tell anyone, but we often take a box of wine as well! This cabinet is lovely though! Allan

Indeed, an angle would be nice, we have throw pillows to serve that purpose. This doubles as a bed so we had to make some compromises. Allan

The front dinette/spare bed was made using 4" low density foam. Not only did you end up bottoming out, but you also didn't sit high enough to see out of the windows. It was also too soft for comfortable sleeping. We purchased a six inch thick chunk of marine grade high density foam...

Well... since I'm no expert in harmonics I figured more couldn't hurt, and that has turned out to be the case. I have noticed a significant reduction in heat from both the engine and roof which would not have been the case had I used the material in a more targeted manner. The antenna in the...

While I had the cab all disassembled I decided to make a few other upgrades. We often travel with one or two other vehicles and I can't count the amount of times that we have passed an awesome campspot or failed to explore an attractive side road because of lack of communication. With this in...

I have driven FIDO nearly 20k miles and despite the fact that the truck rides vastly better than stock I have to say that I have still been dreading any highway stretches. This is great if you live in Utah like we do and have dirt road routes to go wherever you want but we are preparing for a...
