I havent had any luck either. I am adding an extra 10 gallons via some Scepter cans mounted to my rear bumper/bed. For me I havent actually run out of gas but there were a couple situations where if I had the extra on hand we would have explored a bit more. Since these things are thirsty...

I am working on it as well. Most of the stuff I have done are a result of issues or needs that arose when I have been out on 1-2 week jaunts such as my transmission pan protection. The question I constantly ask myself is how much do I really need and are the tradeoffs (cost, weight, etc.) for a...

Wife and I will be there in our '97 F150.

I searched for quite a while when I was looking for a tubing bender and decided that the JDSquared benders were the best route. http://www.jd2.com/shop/ They are not completely inexpensive but very solid and you can get a bunch of different dies for the diameter and radius that you want to...

Boss and I are going to be there in the F150 heading down from CO. Planning to head up to grand canyon area a week after. Cant wait. -Mark

Thanks for the replies. I think I will go with the 285-75-16's and focus a bit more on my underbody protection. It always spooks my co-driver (wife) when we clank into a hard thing with underbody stuff... As for ball joints, I once had a week-long vacation hosed when one of my LBJ's started...

Howdy, Been lurking a while and finally got the nerve to ask a question. I have a '97 F150 reg. cab short bed that i have been slowly converting to something more overland worthy (Shell, trans pan protection, platform+bed etc). My question is specifically surrounding trimming the fenders for...
