Wind?
Not necessarily if it's some kind of FRP like adventurous said. I was poking underneath there yesterday and there's step in the frame I'd never noticed that's there to give the ass end higher clearance. I might not do this until summer for next winter. I'm going box a section that's underneath of the beds that gets cold as hell but I may just throw a bunch of shit on the floor under some rugs this year and not deal with the rest of it.

so my dually tire spacers arrived 2" CNC from 6061t6 AL Billet black anodized, lifetime warranty
Drives nice
before the spacers
the install
new spacing

That to prevent things getting jammed between the resulting blowout?
more so to insure adequate tire cooling by airflow under heavy load and to eliminate the possibility of the tire sidewalls rubbing each other and causing damage
Now you can really throw those rocks.
Holy shit, that sky...
not an obvious visual change with the 2" spacers between the wheels. The rig is just a hair more stable, less body roll with the wider stance
Oh, so YOU are the guy taking up all of the spaces at Trader Joe’s...
you got better eyes than me....
Naw that's the Ambulance parking lot at work. I was out putting the 50 miles on the rear wheels so I could check the torque when I got a call that one of the rigs would not start. I carry jumper cables. Got the ambulance started and dropped it off at the mechanics then shuttled the crew back to the office for another rig.
I was keeeeding, I am sometimes that guy with the camper, for sure.
You do know that will put extra stress on your axles? Will also make you more likely to push the front end vs sliding the rear, which may be a good thing considering your Center of Gravity.
I wonder how much extra stress and what the real world impact would be. Not sure what year his is, but the GAWR on an F350 dually is 8,250 lbs, so he should still have margin, even with the camper + horse trailer.
well seeing as the MFG rates the axle to handle an 11800 pound load and my load is 7500 pounds I don't think I will lose any sleep over it
Yeah, no idea where he is in regards to capacity, just that there will be more stress.
prefer the iveco's....
Good to know that the Brian Lopes spirit is alive and well!
That looks like a Maltec build. https://www.maltec.org/toyota/
It’s a German company that is starting some operations in the US. They have roots in the Paris Dakar races. The pop tops are carbon! Pretty cool stuff.
C2D Design in Florida does some nice 70 series Land Cruisers.

I really hope this does not bring the nipples....
The proportions seem a little......off......

I got mice, WTF. There isn't anything in Frita, but the hole where the water comes in seems to be the only access point. Cleaning out tomorrow and setting traps, ugh.
Stuff the hole with scouring pads and I have also had good luck with getting some whole cloves in a nylon or mesh baggie (make your own if the mrs. has a pair of nylons she's getting rid of), crush them up a little and adding those to entry points (you could probably dush ground cloves on the scouring pads too). Smells a hell of a lot better than those moth balls and deters the critters.

Steel wool works too. Same idea.
I usually make a blob with steel wool and either silicon or epoxy if I never need to remove it.
