Believe you me I’d prefer to do it in daylight as well but I have a giant camper on my truck so doing it in the garage was not an option. Plus it gets dark around 5pm where I live and I did it after getting home from work so in the dark it was. Honestly though with good portable lights it...

I just changed both fuel filters this evening. Wasn't too difficult but having never done this probably took 2 hours from start to finish. This was in the dark in my driveway with some Ego and M18 flood/spot lights. Pretty similar to my oil filter changes on my Land Cruiser really. My advice...

That's awesome, sounds like we have a similar build. I'm eager to see what your final product looks like on the interior. With 800W of solar you should really be charging that battery up fast. Even with 400W it recharges my 270AH battery up in no time. The microwave will make things so...

What systems do you plan to go with? Honestly I'm happy with ditching propane. The induction cooktop is a game changer IMO. It's fast, clean and no worry about fuel. I had my induction cooktop built into the counter top but having one that's portable would be a good option too. That way you...

Good choice with the Ford platform. They make a good truck as well and in some ways it’s better than the Ram in terms of comfort and space. The Ford has a massive 2nd row and the Ram has this weird transmission hump on the passenger front that is annoying for leg comfort on long trips. Good...

Nice to come back to a cozy home after a long day of skiing

Mini home on wheels. We we're camping at -20F just north of Ketchum, ID and it was a toasty 60F in the camper.

Should be. I have a set of tire chains for that exact size in 285/75/17. The Bowen bed weighed 40lbs heavier than the stock bed. It's made out of aluminum and very lightweight compared to a steel bed. I don't think you'll be saving 400 or 500lbs with any flatbed unless it was really just a...

Hey, Sorry for the late reply. I have been slacking a lot when it comes to updating this thread. I hope you're still around on the forums and I can try and help as best as I can. I replied in red above

Yikes, that's horrifying. I'm glad you, everyone else and the pooch are all safe. Just curious but were you on the list to get the AT dipstick changed?

TBH I come from the Toyota world so it's what I understand. They use a lot of 17" wheels. For the longest time I was just gonna get some AEV wheels which are 17" so that's was my initial baseline. You make a good point though, with an 18" wheel there are lot more tire options with higher max...

Got my new tires and wheels mounted. They are the Nomad Wheels Sahara in copper and they look SO DAMN GOOD!!! The wheels are a +25 offset so I'll definitely need to get some from fender flares. The tires are actually take-offs from my LC which are Toyo Open Country ATIII in 285/75/17 size. I...

Nice. Did you use AlfaOBD or a harness?

Sometimes the best truck is the one you already have!!!

Someone musta got fired and this is their last FU :D
