This is my jacked pod, a 5000 lbs Torsion axle gave me a 4" lift, plenty of clearance for 33" tires. This pod is being modified to be a 4 season-off road pod. The whole lift cost me $1700 in parts. Happy Podding |

That's impressive! Forget "Hood River Edition"--that's more like "Yukon River Edition." Where do you plan to take it? What's your TV?

Here is our rig on February 12, 2015 on Highway 60 between Charleston, West Virginia and Lexington, VA. It's a 2014/179 with a 2011 Tahoe. Ice and snow in those mountains was quite an adventure. Jan did all the driving with no mishaps. We've put about 10,000 miles on this rig since May of 2014 purchase and this was by far the most challenging. Made it to Florida for a month but got stuck in Nashville in an ice and snow storm that got 600 vehicles stuck for a day on I65 between Nashville and Louisville. We waited it out and made it home to Elgin, IL without any troubles. Just one adventure after another.

apache - you may want to add specific info in a separate post in the podmods section. Lots of people ask about getting more clearance and I think you are the winner in that department. Personally I think they all should come as high as yours. Even with the risers I would sometimes scrape the back of my pod.

"This pod is being modified to be a 4 season-off road pod".
Could you post pictures and details when you convert it to a 4 season rig? Very interested in knowing how you plan on keeping the pipes insulated when boondocking. |
