I have read through all of your mods. There's so many that I have probably forgot a couple You have inspired me to copy some of yours and made me think of a few on my own. I'm sure you have done that for many others too. Thank you for your great ideas and the confidence that you have given us.

Ron's installer does all lines exposed and just screws them into the corpilast. So you will be completely fine running it underneath. I had to make it look good.
Our friends 2014 Landmark has the crossover line zip tied right to the axle and no rubber brake line to the caliper. That was the factory install..
After 2 years it already broke from vibration. The line has to have some give it will expand and retract from heat and cold.

Ron's installer does all lines exposed and just screws them into the corpilast.

Actually, on the units I've seen for John's (Ron's installer) work, he supports the brake lines using the existing self-tapping screws that support the Coroplast into the frame and not into the Coroplast itself.

The LM365 is a super install but I'm wondering about the Teflon tape on the elbow off the actuator. Clearly one would not use Teflon and potentially interfere with a taper connection compression seal, but OK on the pipe thread? Well, I didn't know if using the tape was something I would do, so I googled whether Teflon tape would dissolve in a brake fluid environment. I read mixed reactions.

The elbow into the pump is pipe thread NOT a compression fitting....

Do you think an 8' or 7' coiled cord would work just as good as the 12'?

I'd worry about a shorter cord trying to pull out of the plug when you make right turns.
Just that plastic cap holding it in there.
The 12' is the perfect cord.

Happy New Year Jerrod, Look forward to more of your great mods this year. The Titan brake job portrayal is excellent. We are about to use your help on that one.

You may have mentioned it but where did you get your brake kit?

I am pretty sure he got it from Ron Russell, the Titan Guy!

Update on the incredible Ford F 350 and our trip to Lake Havasu
Well first off the air bags put the ride over the top.
I cannot believe how good this truck rides.
The air bags leveled the truck, took the springs off of the overloads, and eliminate the little bit of chucking we had on that first trip to Jackson without the bags.

We left home Thursday night in a horrible rain storm. Rain and wind for the first 130 miles.
The truck was averaging 6.7 to 6.9 in that storm running about 60 to 65 mph.
Then after we hit the dry roads the milage went up to about 8.3 mpg average
Cruise control set at 66 mph.
We topped off in Bakersfield and hit the road again 65 mph up the Tehachapi Mountains no problem.
My gross weight is really close to 28,000 lbs
The truck doesn't even know the Landmark is back there.
It takes off from the stop signs and heads up the on ramps like a sports car.
And now with the new disc brakes it stops just as good.

The heated messaging seats are amazing. Kinda stinks that they turn off after about 20 or 30 minutes and you have to turn them back on. Must be to make sure your still awake. LOL
What an awesome trip to Lake Havasu.

Well our spot on the lake is one of the best spots in the park.
And the weather is perfect.
Thanks Garry for throwing a great AZ rally
Looking forward to the next one already.
