What sort of modifications have you needed?
What limits to size of TC have you found?
As an aside, what kind of hwy diesel mileage do you get (roughly) with a heavy setup as above.
Conditions-- I run BFG All-Terrains, some of my Jeep buddies actually run those on their Jeeps, good all-around off road/on road traction. But what usually what ends up making me chicken out is branches / trail pin striping. I'm 11' 6" to top of the camper siding, 12' 6" to the roof air. I try to keep my rig nice and shiny. Dirty can be washed, scratches are permanent reminders... I spent a lot of money on my TC, and even more on a nice carport to store it, i try to take care of it.
Being an avid UTV/Jeeper, I generally do not take mine through many off-camber or steep inclines. I save that for the toys.
Modifications - Shocks, TorkLift Stable Loads and heavy springs, that's about it.
Limits - We don't need no stinking limits... ok, in all seriousness, I'm *slightly :R * over the limit for weight, I won't go any bigger TC without an F-550.
MPG - 11-ish loaded with TC only, lower with trailer and depending on route fo travel, eg, mountain passes and head winds knock it down a lot.
