I'm partial to the Chevy, but hell, you could put a beat up Corolla in those photos and it would still look epic! Very nice stuff, you have a great eye! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What's with the CT plates? I got all excited it was close by! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great reply to a very good thread!

Yeah, what Darwin said... this is sounding really unsafe. Bigger tires and a lift effectively decrease your safe load capacity even further. Triple sides really don't belong on a SRW.

PM replied, turnbuckles sold. I also repurposed my cart, so just the tie-downs and the tow-bar remain. If you pay shipping, I'll box either of those up and send via UPS ground.

I can't say the thought didn't cross my mind... payload sticker says 1450#! That's only 150# less than my neighbor's 1/2 ton!

It does! Just comes down to so many factors, and what seems great in the research phase, doesn't always pan out. I will say, I got awfully good at putting the camper on/off the truck. By the end of this past summer, I could have it off in 10' and back on in another 20'! Of course, that didn't...

Just wanted to say thanks to this forum - lots of good stories, ideas, and answers here. We sold our Northstar and I traded my 3/4 ton F250 for a new diesel Colorado. As much as we loved the truck camper, family camping in the northeast rarely involves driving to one place and staying put. The...

Changed our camping strategy; sold the slide-in truck camper and traded the big 3/4 ton truck for a smaller, more expedition-capable midsize. As such, I'm basically offering up every little bit of truck camper gear that was leftover. Prices are basically nominal, and realistically, this is for...

Perfect, thanks! Another question for this group: anyone know if there's a replacement part for the front lip / air dam / spoiler / whatever-you-wanna-call-it? I know I can just remove it, but wondering if there's a minimalist option out there to clean it up just a little.

Do you get any rub with just the Zone level and this size tire?

Some great looking trucks here - amazing what just the 1" lift does! I just had a '17 Z71 diesel on a 24-hr test drive; for just under 100 miles, I averaged 24.1 mpg! It was all local driving and included plenty of sitting and idling at the dealership while the salesman went through the truck...

Not seeing a link of any sort to video (or photo?)... viewing on Tapatalk, if that makes a difference.

Nice setup - I like the RO mod but I think my family would have something to say about losing the heater up here in the NE! One question: is that a Chevy 1/2 ton with a 650 camper AND flat-towing a Jeep?! What engine? With the wind resistance and combined weight, my 5.4l F250 would be slower...

@mkish: I have a TC650 with the same annoying ext shower hose. It's even more annoying because on the Liberty, Northstar uses a same/similar quick disconnect as ripper is pointing out. No idea why they wouldn't use it on the TC as well. I bet a call to Northstar would get you the part number for...
