For me it will be tires... Because... My annual vehicle inspection failed due to the need for new tires. It is about a six hundred dollar upgrade and since I am not installing them myself an "easy" upgrade. Not sure what will be next. It may be determined by what I can find second hand at a...

What are your experiences? Work like a charm or totally useless? GG

Having said that: I would think that some modifications could increase the GVWR or vice versa? NO?

Does the Built Rite dash mount hardware retain the speaker in the dash?

I am very interested in your modifications. I have a 2012 F-150 King Ranch 2 WD that I am interested in doing many of the modifications that you have done.

Thanks for the feedback Van. I don't think of it as an upgrade since the tires on the vehicle will need replacing (most likely) when I go for my past due inspection this weekend. Just checking online the KO2's don't seem more expensive than the Michelins that are currently on the truck. IDK time...

Okay, so looking at tires as during last years vehicle inspection they tried to sell me some tires and I talked them out of it I am sure they will reject them this year. So shopping around it seem that I can size up from 265/60R18's to 275/65R18's and that will increase the height by 1.6 inches...

Thanks for the inputs folks, seems to align with my current thinking pretty much and I already have a lot of the gear, looking to upgrade for comfort mostly. We have only taken it a few times but do like our inflatable bed...lol. There could be a trip to Colombia and further in the future. lpd

Well I stumbled upon this forum and though hey cool I ought to try that and I do need a pastime as I will retire soon. Well reading the newbie thread I see that I have been an overland for near fifty years now. My first vehicle was a VW squareback and I slept many nights in the back all over the...

Yes in the greater Houston area, I have updated my profile.

Hmmm spare tire... A. Who needs one of those??? B. What? You only have one spare tire??? GG

Love the site. I am seriously considering Texas to South America trip. Probably less overland than most here and just more of needing to have a beefed up mode of transportation. I don't really thing I am down to purchase or build one of the real beasts that you see on youtube... but, you just...
