Interesting that changing the steering box had that effect.
Vic Harder said:Humor me a bit longer guys.... pun intended. With a full crew cab + 8' bed, what kinds of roads are accessible and which roads/regions are "not advisable" in such a rig? I'm thinking of:
Alaska Highway, all the way to Tuktoyaktuk, and side roads like Tungsten and Keno Hill
Big Bend NP and SP backcountry camping roads
Mexico - including places like Bahai do los Angeles or driving across to the Western side on any number of side roads
Idaho/Montana - Magruder Corridor, including places like Red River Hot springs, Parachute/Eagle Ridge Trailheads, Horse Creek Pass, Argenta
Utah - Upper Muley Twist 4x4 road, Shafer Trail, White Rim trail, Bears Ears, Lock Hart Rd, Wolverine Rd, Henry Mnts roads
So, not rock crawling, mostly gravel driving.
that's kind of what I thought. OK, I am going to wait for the right access cab 8' bed truck to come along!ramblinChet said:It seems that the only really negative in addition to losing some departure angle would be shifting your center of gravity to the rear by a bit. This will have little effect on level roads and slight grades but I would think about the gravel and dirt roads you enjoy traveling on. If any had steep climbs this minor negativity would be multiplied greatly during a slow steep climb especially if traction was limited.
none of those kind of expansion plans... my kids may have other plans, but they have their own vehicles! Good question though!ntsqd said:No tricycle motor "expansion" plans, or past that?
A friend who bought a SuperCab PSD when they first came out is now experiencing growing pains. As-in the kids are growing and it's a pain stuffing them in the back seat. They used to fit fine. I told him not enough saltpeter in their diet. For some odd reason their mom didn't laugh at that.
