I went from stock to bilstein 5100s to Fox 2.0 IFP to my current Fox 2.5s. There was a very noticeable difference between each shock. I wanted to see what the stock valving was like before having anyone tune them. So far I have been impressed and they have 5 to 10k miles on them. When it is...

I agree the only thing better is the sound. And I love v8s. My wife prefers the v6 even for sound.

My wife has a 2018 Raptor, it is the best stock vehicle to drive over rough terrain, it does better than any half ton I am aware of at technical off roading, the 4A setting is great on snowpack and ice with pavement patches in between, and it holds a lot of soccer mom gear in the bed under the...

The bushings are still in great shape. That said, I did replace the radiator at 165k miles when I replaced the intercooler. Both are Mishimoto and have worked great for the last almost 3k miles.

A couple of photos from the weekend. Temps were 17 at the low and mid/high 30s for the high.

Realistically, what type of MPG are you seeing in the Power Wagon. Also, any idea if it were pulling a small 5k lb trailer?

Thank you! Sold it today for asking.

*SOLD*This truck is one owner and in very good condition. Well maintained with just over 141,000 miles on the odometer. Kelly Blue Book gives it's private party price as $10,219 and I am willing to work with offers. This year of truck did come with the electronic rear locker and it does have...

I replaced my 37x13.50 Toyo MTs with RTs. The RTs are quieter, a little softer and grip well. They do not eject mud nearly as well as the MTs, more gravel stays stuck in the treads, and they squirm a tad bit more on the freeway. As I replaced them after last winter I have limited experience...

I have an RV friend that tows at the max with his Tundra. Any wind sucks, he makes 6mpg but he refuses to buy an appropriate truck. Its not even that he can't afford one he is looking at a new Tundra when any 3/4 or 1 ton would be a huge improvement.

The 500 for trail tested includes shipping.

I have a 12" rack from Trail Tested MFG. Solidly built at an affordable price. They will make it fit for your truck and the turnaround time is quick. https://www.trailtestedmfg.com/

Good to know about the cab isolators. Will have a look at mine and replace if they seem worn.

Mine is in the bed as well. I have read that some people fit it under there, I haven't bothered to try. I haven't had a situation where I needed more room other than a short trip to get a couple of yards of top soil or gravel. I will remove it for that.

I have debated dedicating a thread to my truck and experiences and decided that there are enough people with similar trucks that may find some parts or experiences that I have had useful. As the thread title states my truck is a 2008 F350 Super Duty diesel crew cab with a 6.75 foot bed. A lot...
