    Offroad capability of full size truck

    I went from one extreme to the other, from a 2018 Super Duty Crew Cab Long bed to a Gladiator. It wasn't the length that held the Ford back as much as width, I feel, or my fear of scratching/dinging it. It was actually impressive where I could go. Biggest annoyance was Ford's terrible...

    New All Terrain Tire from Nokian, Outpost AT

    I started this thread, and still really like the Outpost. My F250 these are on sees very little highway use. Most of its life is offroad, or dirt roads. These days those roads are snow and ice covered. 50% of the time the truck has a full 275 gallon water tank in the back. This tire is very...

    Frame Strength, Who to Believe! The RV Sales Guy or the New Truck Dealer? Maybe Neither?

    Say what you want about the old flexy C-channel Fords but they take some insane abuse and it's very rare to see a frame fail. But about the Tundra, it always amazes me how people overload those so badly. My full-size Tundra 4x4 had a lower payload than my little Gladiator by 300lbs. Replaced...

    Burying gray water?

    I can easily believe you could drop a dump right on the ground in 1957 as back then most people disposed of old motor oil by pouring it in a hole or on an ant hill. lol

    New Old Perfect Expedition Camper (NOPEC) - Transitioning a 1995 Kodiak Truck Camper Into A Newer Version

    Thanks for the tips and words of encouragement. I got finally got the camper in the shop last night ( after sliding down the icy hill a few times trying to back up into my shop, then proceeding to catch the bottom of my shop door on the roof top vent and ripping it off) lol The camper bones...

    New Old Perfect Expedition Camper (NOPEC) - Transitioning a 1995 Kodiak Truck Camper Into A Newer Version

    I ended up buying that Kodiak, I'll be picking it up this afternoon and will start gutting it. Thanks for this thread for inspiration. Time to start figuring out how to do fiberglass and how to do it in my shop without ruining everything else in there with dust and glass particles. lol

    New Old Perfect Expedition Camper (NOPEC) - Transitioning a 1995 Kodiak Truck Camper Into A Newer Version

    Awesome job on the camper. I'm looking at one of these Kodiaks for sale near me and would likely want to do something similar to get rid of the joints in the exterior.

    Ford’s new 6.8L V8

    The last couple years reading about how the 7.3 was gonna solve the problems of the 6.2 as far as reliability and complexity seems weird as the 6.2 is probably one of the most reliable engines ever made. That said, I would still like a 7.3

    Thoughts on 2023 Ford Super Duty for Family Travel?

    I need to upgrade my truck to a 250/2500

    Tundra payloads are pathetic, my Jeep Gladiator has a higher payload capacity than my full size 5.7L Tundra did LOL Anyway, if you are wanting something that hauls weight well and is probably the only truck that rivals the old Tundras for reliability, the Ford 6.2 Gas with the 6 Spd Auto is...

    Flat Bed pictures

    I love flatbeds. I'm also interested, but mainly in home fabbed ones because I'm not spending $15,000 for a flatbed for a $15,000 truck. lol

    Bub’bye to the 2 WD Ford Super Duty Trucks

    I can't believe someone would spend 50k+ and NOT get 4wd; these things can't even back up in damp grass in 2wd. lol Then again I very often need 4wd just to get up my driveway.

    pivoting frames and mounting campers

    Are the newest pickup trucks with a fully boxed frame; like say a 2022 F350, NOT a cab and chassis truck, stiff enough to avoid the headache of a pivoting frame? I had a 2018 F250 with heavy steel front and rear bumpers and it seemed like it didn't flex any real appreciable amount. I sold that...
