Usual path is to do both. But if you don't ever plug in maybe not. Love thing about the converter is you can run a Genny to get it up to par. DC DC is great. Need to look at possibly upgrading your alternator and for sure a long run thick gauge wire setup, breakers fuses etc.

Absolute Unicorn truck! GLWTS.

Depending on your converter Progressive Dynamics makes drop in lithium conversions for your box. Took me 30 minutes: https://www.progressivedyn.com/lithium-converter-replacement-units/ Don't be intimidated, it's easy and you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner. I've been really happy with...

Agree with above! 4r100 is a stout tranny that need cooling. It's the gearing that sucks! Wide gals between gears. I was able to mount the Lee PS pump kit by grinding it a bit and pushing the mount backwards (towards the cab) to make room for the dual alt radiator hose mod! Works a charm. I'll...

No disrespect , but I don't think that importing is an issue. It's a vintage vehicle and customs won't even know where to start. Plenty of old (25+ yrs) modified vehicles have been imported. I imported a 1991 Hino Ranger fire truck. Imported to Virginia, titled same, re registered in Utah...

Awesome platform I think you'll love it. The 7.3 is my favorite truck engine. Simple and easy. I've only gone about 5 adult years without one. A few things: - Fuel bowl sucks. Too many points of failure. I'm deleting mine soon. - Carry a spare sensor set. CPS, IPR etc. - Not sure which tranny...

Stellanis will be lucky to be a company in 2027.

Unicorn truck. Best of the RRs. GLWTS.

I've always thought horse trailers would be a great conversion. Well done and GLWTS!

Seems pricey but cool I guess. Sweeping folding wall design disallows valuable overhead cabinet storage though.

I've seen these guys ads on Craigslist a few times. No thanks

LR4/RR 4.4 Jag engine era seems to be solid, especially 208 and 2009 before the changeover. 4.2 SC RR of the same era is regarded as a great platform but they are pretty rare. 5.0 in the LR4 and RR are great trucks, much more refined and more powerful but have a well documented timing chain...

Hey Andy I'm thinking about going hydro assist on my 2001 F550 (2006 suspension and axle swap). I got my hydro boost ported by Vantech, have a Lee Saginaw conversion blah blah and my steering still stinks. I know I need a new Sbox but who did your hydro steer? Rebuilding my steering box, porting...

Price?

Really cool rignfor a fair price for somebody who is handy. GLWTS!
