As has been mentioned, custom leaf pack. I have fancy fox adjustible resi 2.5's all around. Like rruff, I deleted rear sway. While my shocks are very nice and I presume add to the overall control, I suspect the majority of my trucks ability to work great with a camper has more to do with my...

This is an "it depends" question. If this is the white one it appears to be very well mantained. It is available immediately and depending on your needs that could be what you are after. I would understand the cost to replace the engine as a just in case, worst case scenario. Could be...

Flatbed, 2.5 inch lift, 37's, 4.3 gearing, full front bumper, Bundutec Hardside camper... unadjusted speedo is saying 9 mpg which is likely closer to 10 mpg. I routinely tow a raft or jon boat. I drive faster than most (remeber the unadjsted speedo??). When I am not towing anything I am...

Thanks. Checking it out!

I don't know anything about the Norweld's but I have a steel skirted flatbed and have been considering one from dropout fab. Derek might do some customization for you as well. No affiliation. https://www.dropoutfabrication.com/sled-deck-flatbed I really liked the Norwelds and they were...

I would be worried that the thief would get stuck under your rig trying to steal your ties and then sue you for damages since you did not adequately warn them that taking something that doesn't belong to them could be dangerous! Maybe ask your insurance agent if you can name specific items on...

Build thread or at least a couple of pics of the new habitat? Looks great.

Do you need the over cap rack to support the camper? I can't remember but think you used to use it without. Chopping that down will save quite a bit of weight.

Honeycomb would work and you could add or reduce layers depending on how stiff you want it. Reality is you could probably just drop a 1/2 inch ply epoxy coated piece of wood on it for a just in case deck. You could add layers of glass on it but then the weight starts to creep back up. If you...

I like the fenders. I am guessing when you stand at the front and look down the side they appear in line as the camper extends beyond the side of the cab.

https://www.drakeboatworks.com/ I don't know how to copy and past any videos from insta or even if you can but the above is the website for his boats. There is a video @bredrake posted on January 22nd that is a short on the camper.

I check every couple of days to see your progress. How did those fender flares turn out? You had mentioned Wilds Drake as a resource for your build. Not only are his boats very cool but his camper is one of the most production looking DIY rigs I have seen. Took him a couple years to build...

Can you remind us what your end goal is? Full time and go to South America, eventual plans to ship globally, or build a cool rig that has some off road capability to run around the US and Canada? I spend way too much time on this forum and have obsessed over global capable vehicles for years...

We have one. Purchased used in January 2021. Previous owner acquired in March 2020. If you look at the Bundutec insta it is the one that went on the older F250. Larger water tank, standard windows, 3000 watt inverter from factory, air conditioner. Propane hot water heater, furnace and...

This is in response to the original thread, not the last question. I deleted the bed and went with fully skirted flatbed. Proof of concept for my next bed. I removed the wiring harness from the bumper and cut out some of what was duplicate but kept the backup camera, rear sensors and bliss...

It took a couple years but I have followed all your posts and you tube vids. We have a bundutec hard-side that is similar size to your Northstar. I would not have been able to do this without your detailed write ups and videos. This is not intended to be a hijack but a THANK YOU. You have...

Video for some detail on the build. Appears to be the same rig

Your mods are great. I have a hard-side Bundutec. Doesn't seem like it would but the 7 foot width makes a significant difference in tight spaces. I typically tow a river boat of some sort and the smaller width means I can actually see to launch. I was going to add heating pads to my water...

Already has two full price offers and they are headed to see it before they buy. Nice guy. Older gent. Says it is hard for them to get up into the bunk etc. Originally from the West so undercarriage is supposedly not rusted. Out of my price range but if someone is looking for an ER I would...
