    Searched but no luck for Recommended Load Range E tires.

    I have always been a Michelin Man but I have to admit that their off-road / snow and mud capabilities are not the best. On my F-350 cc srw with 20's I'm going to go with the KO2's that many here and on Tirerack say are their number one reccomendation...

    Thoughts on an 2005 Ford F-250 as an overlander? (And just in general)

    Congrats on the SD! I have an F-350 cc srw that I will be converting to be more expo ready.

    2 Weeks in Colorado

    Muddier thanks for the great report! I'm looking forward to your video of the various passes. I want to try your route in a cc long bed super duty maybe next year. I also like your bumper. What kind is it? Thanks!

    Off road trip Corsica and Sardinia

    Great video. That's one area I have never been to (yet). I liked the off-road driving especially at 27:30. Towards the end of the video you drove through some concrete barriers. Were those left over from WW 2? Thanks again!

    2005 F350 Suspension questions

    My understanding is that the Carli systems are the top of the line. I may save my pennies and see if I can get one. I haven't made any suspension modes to my truck yet.

    To super duty or not super duty....that is my question..

    Well let's just look at the published facts... According to Ford http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/payload/ The max F-150 4x4 ( when specially configured) is up to 3050# but you will probably have to order it to gain that capacity. Most are in the 1700# capacity range. The F-350...

    2005 F350 Suspension questions

    Hi Stephen- I have a 2006 F-350 cc lb power stroke and am in the same boat as you. I am not interested in putting some monster lift on it but rather improving the suspension travel of the truck. At this point I am leaning towards the 2.5" front suspension lift from Icon...

    Am I crazy for wanting a rig that gets low 20's mpg ???

    Great conversation about something that I hold near and dear. I agree with Frank in that in the real world the EcoDiesel is very hard to beat. I have a '14 Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel and in the 18K miles I have put on it it has AVERAGED 27.8 mpg. On the highway I can see 31... On the other hand I...

    LMFT off road trails in New Hampshire.

    Great videos! I use to ride some of those trails on my Husky about 30 years ago. Glad to see they're still accessible.

    Choosing wheels? (F150) Brand question.

    Don't know about the brand you mentioned but could you get a set of spacers for less and keep your original wheels?

    And the reason why Ram didn't stick with Cummins is? New Fronteir Pro-4x

    While I agree that Cummins is a great engine I have to say that the VM eco Diesel engine that I have in my Jeep GC is an impressive engine with lots of torque and great mileage... I'm keeping an eye out on the Nissan too.

    To super duty or not super duty....that is my question..

    Lions, Tigers and Diesels oh my!!!!,! Most people who comment negatively about diesels haven't owned one... Being in construction I have had a diesel pick up (and several other diesel vehicles) in one variant or another for 20 years. I currently have an F-350 CC LWB SRW with 135K on the clock...

    Luxury Chase Truck Build [2007 F250-Carli Coilover]

    Great write up and build. I have an '06 Larriet and have done many of the mods you did. You might want to look at your alternator. Unfortunately the one Ford put in the Super Duties is the same one they use in the Fusion!! Many guys are going with larger units to keep the batteries fully charged...
