    Fill out a quick survey....maybe win some sweet lights!

    Hey Overlanders and generally well-behaved Off-roaders! I'm doing a little research into general behaviors and motivations within this great community and was wondering if you would be willing to fill out a quick survey. All participants will be entered to win a pair of Rigid D-Series Pro...

    Super Duty ball joints

    thanks for the advice pete. I actually manage a diesel performance shop that specializes in Power Strokes. Its always nice to get the opinion of ford techs as you guys see everything come through the service center. I have heard mixed reviews of the moog stuff, but have found their products...

    Super Duty ball joints

    What are you Ford Super Duty guys/gals using for HD ball joints? I am typically an OEM guy, but wanted to see if anyone had great success with other brands.

    Advice from the maintenance and repair experts, please

    I agree, stay away from a flush. If you haven't done an annual flush since the birth of that transmission, it is a risk not worth taking. Drain fluid and replace (not familiar with the filtering on that transmission, but that should be addressed) and cross your fingers. Also, if you do need...

    To shell or not shell... That is the question...?

    I am facing the same dilemma. I have a 8ft bed on my F350 and the shell has been great for keeping gear and such, but I am getting way too frustrated with managing the storage at the back of the bed. I have a decked drawer system which is awesome for dry, secure storage, but the longest they...

    New, slow build. Do all 2015 Ram Cummins turbo diesel. 37s and 550hp.

    i'm a ford guy, but I love the look of the new dodges. This truck looks mean, great job.

    AmboLander

    A tuner will really wake that motor up. The SCT mapping is probably the best on the market for the powerstrokes. Many have used the TS performance chip or hydra, but we have seen some long-term reliability issues with chip based tuners. The SCT livewire is a great tuner/monitor (I have one on...

    7.3L powerstroke swap in

    I've got a 2005 f350 powerstroke that has been highly modified and runs like a champ. I've got the huge truck category covered! I want something with a short wheel base that I can get on tighter trails. Depending on availability, I'll probably look for a scout or bronco.

    7.3L powerstroke swap in

    A '96 7.3L econoline with only 78,000 miles has fallen into my lap for $0. The engine needs minor repairs and a fuel pump, but the van is a total POS. So, I'm looking for suggestions on what I can swap the motor into. I've seen a '65 scout with the 7.3l and it was sick, but I'm looking for a...

    DefconBrix | Bed Storage Solutions | TruckVault + CargoGlide

    This is a sick build! I have been knocking around ideas for my truck and this gives me some great direction. How is the cargo glide mounted on top of the drawers? Is it mounted to the drawers or to a frame around them?

    Anyone using a bed slide?

    I have a F350 CCLB and the bed is a blank slate right now. I've been going back and forth on what to do with it, ie. drawers/sleeping platform, ditch the camper shell, keep it, do a frame with a Roof top tent, and the list goes on and on. Are any of you guys using a bed slide? It seems like a...

    My newest vehicle is the most fun.

    That is a beautiful truck! Exactly the setup I want. I keep going back and forth as to whether I am going to get a Raptor, but working at a diesel performance shop, you can't beat my cost of ownership of a diesel! !!

    1994 Yamaha Serow XT225

    I got a running 94 XT225 for $500 but the fuel tank ended up having rust and leaking. I cleaned and resealed it but it continued to leak. Something is also going on with the charging system it has an oil leak, and the carb seems like it needs to be adjusted or replaced. Do you think it is worth...

    what would you do?

    Nah, I've decided to stick with my bus. I love her and can't wait to get my Carli suspension. Just installed some rigid duallys on the hood

    what would you do?

    All good points. I like my LB because I can fit my kayak with the tailgate down with no bed extender. I also already have a camper top on the LB. I have twins that will soon be much easier to take exploring so having the room will be nice. I just have romantic dreams of a tiny super duty that...

    what would you do?

    I can swap motors no problem, and also plan on over hauling the suspension. I would pull my motor out and install it in the new truck in 2 days tops.

    2005 F350 Suspension questions

    did that truck have the 4.5" lift with 37s or the 2.5" inch level kit with 35s?

    what would you do?

    I've got a F350 CCLB and have a chance to get into a F250 CCSB. Putting everything but the size aside, would the smaller truck be worth it for mobility, shorter wheel base, etc? What would you do?
