    So your thinking Expo FMTV .. Max height ??

    I must be dense but I am still kind of scratching my head at the need for the truck to be, say, <11ft vs <12ft vs <13ft. Is all this effort really so it can be driven under some weird bridge in North Carolina and in the couple of places where they don't fit (even though there's probably a...

    Sigh all that happens when people don't cut dead-fall is they just go around it and screw the trail up even more. Anyways point being, in 12' out here, you fit on in-use roads and some seldom used roads that are no longer maintained. The tracks, not at all. Our tracks fit Jeeps in the mountains...

    Out here LEO and lands people are generally appreciative IF you cut on improved gravel roads (the forest roads). You are a hero if you cut on hardball.

    On a tangent likewise a lot of guys seem to take "off-road" to mean "off-pavement" bladed (improved) dirt roads, like developed forest roads. I always personally took off-road to mean no-road (a track). I mean just about everyone thinks a gravel road is still a road, right. I guess what we do...

    I'm just trying to get a clear sense of what you mean, no judgment. Over-landing is another popular term.

    If your definition of "expedition" means domestic (North American) travel, I wouldn't worry about it as long as you are DOT legal at 13'6. Reason being that even though there may be restrictions, there is always a way around, because commerce must be done. In reality I've found you hit the...
