Ford Chassis Improvements
After looking through the Changes By Years info on Andy's site, I'm aware of the significant improvements made in 2008. I'm also aware of the 6-speed transmission addition in 2017.  Since the guide only covers up to 2013 improvements, are there any other significant chassis improvements made since 2013 that are worth considering?

"Since the guide only covers up to 2013 improvements..."

I've been meaning to bring this up for awhile. Obviously I've been remiss in letting the Lazy Daze Pocket Guide get badly out of date. It's a useful resource, but since I've moved to an Airstream trailer, it really is time to hand it over to somebody else. Is there anybody out there who would like to take this over? I can supply the HTML source code and graphics, and once it's hosted elsewhere, can put a redirect page on my site so everybody's bookmarks won't suddenly go bad.

I suspect we can host it on the forum server so no one has the expense of hosting costs.  Could be a good start to a Wiki page on the site...

What's needed most of all is somebody or bodies to take charge of bringing the LD Pocket Guide up to date and keeping it that way. I could let it sit indefinitely on my andybaird.com server in its present (out of date) form, but it really needs a curator or custodian who will maintain it... and for that to happen, it does need to be hosted elsewhere, since for security reasons I'm the only person with access to my server.

But moving it to this forum's server would be a good first step. Michelle, let me know what I can do to facilitate that. How should I transfer the files to you?
