I don’t blame you at all! We got back from Washington last month, and had rented a RAV4. It sure made sense to me, but the wife didn’t want it. If I could convince her that would be awesome. We’d still have my guzzler for the big trips though.

132 miles……. Each way haha Luckily I’m only in office 2-3 times a week, and I’ve got a company provided ride for it.

I didn’t know you got rid of the 150. I always loved your 6.5’ bed crew cab. The only useable 150 IMO haha

I did. I’m enjoying it a lot. Had one drop that should’ve easily been avoidable, but due to someone coming around a corner at the last second I hugged the right side of the trail and caught the deep washout. Barely missed dragging this bumper, but would’ve easily drug my factory set up. Also...

I always forget you’re on there too haha we both go by different handles on TF though.

An F250 and F350 Tremor are identical trucks besides the sticker on the door. Same axles, same springs, same leafs, etc

They definitely aren’t a replacement for my bags. I’ve got both, and they pair well on a budget. Ideally I’d be rocking custom leafs, but this combo is working great for the time.

Go ahead an remove both sway bars right now. The ride will improve very favorably. As far as body roll and control you’ll not notice it in a stock truck. I have to pay attention to notice it on a 2.5” leveled truck with truck camper weighing in at 9500+ lbs. Stock I couldn’t tell a difference.

The poor boy toy hauler put to use this weekend. Camped a few nights out of the truck, one out of the bikes, and another out of the canoe.

How heavy are you running? I came from Fox 2.0s to Fox 2.5s. Running a semi stock truck weight the 2.0s were fine. Adding 2500 lbs of constant weight with camper and gear and the 2.5s were a significant improvement in body control. I’m going to look into those adjustable perches. After 3 years...

I’d keep the factory leafs in the rear with an air bag setup, and add Carli 2.5” coils with either 2.5” Fox or King shocks tuned from Accutune for the weight. No need to go crazy with their full kit. Remove the front sway bar, add the coils, caster shims, track bar, and brake lines up front...

She’s mine. I didn’t think I’d get to pick it up before it sold, but luckily he wasnt trying very hard to sell it.

Yeah, he’s a small shop. We worked out the details of it IG. His web page has his standard options that he builds the most for. I was his first Super Duty, and just had it built in February. He builds mostly for Toyotas and Power Wagons...

My reading this is what made me not go with Expedition 1. The only other bumper I considered was the Trail Ready, but I liked the clearance and features of the SOB more. Plus he’s semi localish to me in West Texas terms
