This is standard here in my hood. I think they were there when I parked. The bigger trick is not hitting that tree while parking in the spot the Lexus is in@Diff Kraken How the hell does a vehicle get out of that parking situation? I have to assume that the other cars, or at least one, got there AFTER you.

Rebooting a CV in my dining room and waiting for better weather to add a couple more goodies to the LX.

My main reason in converting is to have the option of not needing to do trail repairs on the front driveline. If I break a CV, the front diff, or front driveshaft I can simply unlock the hubs and turn off the CDL. The front driveline will no longer spin and I can drive out in 2wd.What's the benefit of converting to manual hubs other than being able to do a burnout?
Fixed your post for you!My main reason in converting is I WANT TO!
Sad part is it sat for 17 days at a Fedex location in PA. I was hoping to slam it on the back on Tech day.Sookie Sookie, now!
Bring it on over so I can take some measurements and make one. Then we can put it on.Sad part is it sat for 17 days at a Fedex location in PA. I was hoping to slam it on the back on Tech day.

That looks nice. Does the tremor package loose any tow capacity from the stock truck?So at age 50, and after driving a hand-me-down 260k mile 2006 Honda Ridgeline for the past 6 years, I decided it was time to order a new truck. I ordered a new Ford F-350 Tremor from a dealership in Iowa and got it for $6K under MSRP. I’ll fly to Des Moines and drive it back to New Mexico, possibly hitting some trails in Colorado on the way back.
It’ll have the 7.3L pushrod V8 with 430hp/475lb torque, a factory 12K winch, 35” tires, will tow 15,000lbs and have ~3800lbs of payload. I’m going to use it to tow my FJ40 from New Mexico back to Virginia and I’ll be able to tow a tractor, skid steer, or mini ex to maintain our property in Marshall, VA. It’ll also double as a family vehicle for our newborn daughter.
I really wanted to like the new Tundra but it’s lack of payload, lack of flat floor in the back, lack of bed access, lack of tow hooks, etc dissuaded me from going with Toyota this time. I figured if I’m going to drop this much coin I want some real capability.
I’ll be getting the best extended warranty I can because I don’t trust all these fancy electronics trucks have these days.
It’ll look like this:

I have the de-tuned 7.3 in my F650 rollback.

No, it doesn’t lose any conventional (bumper pull) towing capability vs the gas non-Tremor. However, the diesel will tow ~18K conventionally when optioned with the heavy duty tow package.That looks nice. Does the tremor package loose any tow capacity from the stock truck?
