That's what we do, but that was mostly decided by needing room for the fridge. Makes set up and tear down longer though.

Okay new year, new mods, new trip, new photos....... A ton more photos, a few videos, and the complete story are on my website... My Website

Yeah, who knew! lol

I've had the space on shorter trips. Longer trips means we drag more crap with us so that's where space becomes a premium. Longer trips also means I try to be extra cautious about how hard we push things and where we go. Back to your story, it kind of goes back to what I was saying. If you...

We will be traveling through the area but going the opposite way. On the return trip it would be way out of the way. You can't find a local shipping company that will do a pick up?

I looked at that as well, but I've never seen it in person. It's also close to what the Safe Jack kit runs in price which is why I think I stopped considering it. Always a good idea, but still not quite high enough to make sure the truck couldn't severally injure you if it did fall. Like I...

That is of course the question I have. We are planning another longer roadtrip/off road/exploration X-mas trip and came up with that question. During the last trip (2016) we had zero problems. Shortly after that however we were in downtown LA and had a front CV joint fail. Parts of the cage...

Heli coils work okay, but for something critical like that a Time Sert kit would be the way to go.

I never had a factory keyless, but I would swear I've seen the instructions posted on here, or one of the other sites. For the mirror I would pop the triangle cover or door panel (i forget where the plug in is) and check the wiring. If you are seeing power at that connection you know its in the...

I'm on my second set of Duratrac's and know the noise well, but have never had balance issues myself. My truck doesn't spend a ton of time at high speeds, but its been into the 90's at least a few times on the Durtracs and hasn't had any issues. I appreciate the info on the other tires, but...

I know that scenario all too well. There is one curve on my morning commute right outside of a landfill entrance where the trucks are always leaking hydraulic fluid. First rain always has me feeling like a drifting champ. Doesn't matter which vehicle, or what tires are on it!

Yeah studded isn't even a consideration lol. I'm tempted to buy the CT's for the trip and then pick up a second set of wheels and some MT's for after, but my wallet is less tempted. Have you ever run the Duratracs for a comparison?

I think I squeezed the whole question into the title, but to recap I'm going to be switching out my Duratrac's for Toyo Open Country tires. They obviously have a few options: M/T Mud tire and I question their traction in the snow. C/T said to do great in the snow, but how do they do out of...

Full details, history, and current photos of the parts can be found on my website. All parts are located in Dixon, CA but I do drive to San Jose on a week day basis and can meet there or in between the two (on my schedule). I am also willing to ship at your expense. I am not always on this...

I had the audio off before the camera died, and I needed a replacement. Sadly I have been too "busy" to set up the new one properly lol. Insurance company dropped the ball on getting an appraiser out to me, so I'm going to be submitting my own photos this afternoon. Hopefully this means I...
