    F150 FX4 Build, decked drawers, slide, and ARE topper / camper shell. Thinking about a roof tent.

    I am thinking RTT on the cab instead of the sheep if the shell won’t bear the load That step is about a year away. Since that portion of the budget will be directed at track time next summer. What sort of damage did you decked drawers take. I’ll be using it for some work,related stuff in the...

    F150 FX4 Build, decked drawers, slide, and ARE topper / camper shell. Thinking about a roof tent.

    So far I really dig it, but with the slide on top of it I on,y have about 24 inches of room to roof and 18 to top of entrance with the lip for the window frame. Still the space I am using is waaay more functional. Original intent for the 6.5 ft bed was dirt bikes, but I couldnt fit a PW50 in...

    F150 FX4 Build, decked drawers, slide, and ARE topper / camper shell. Thinking about a roof tent.

    The too stylish 20 inch wheels need to go in favor of some better tires on a set of 18’s but I live in the Midwest so there is no rush, and I had the Hankook AT’s on my old truck and they were never the limiting factor and they ride/tow ok on the highway without being obnoxiously loud. A one...

    F150 FX4 Build, decked drawers, slide, and ARE topper / camper shell. Thinking about a roof tent.

    This one is gonna be one of those “bolt on” builds that takes place over a long time because it has to happen out of retained earnings, and it’s happening to a vehicle that takes me to work everyday so it’s gotta work well for what the truck will really be doing 49.5 weeks of the year.

    I know better, but I'll ask anyway - why not MRE's

    I know all the drawbacks I had to eat them for a living once They pack heavy If you eat a lot of them pack some ex lax A an absurd amount of packacging that does not burn (well, they burn lik old tires) But The food is getting a lot better for the most part and they AR easy to prep and the...

    Somebody please talk me down (VW bus lust)

    the words durable and VW are almost never found in the same sentence I have had a couple of aircooled VW's (a 74 Super Beetle and a 73' Thing) and an 01 Jetta so I am not coming at this from a inexperienced position I was always a fan of VW and was consistently let down by quality and...

    New Wrangler Unlimited Four Door as base for Exped Vehicle

    I have some serious deep seated lust for the new big Wrangler I know a lot of purists find it to be an abomination (well, the 2WD version is pointless and stupid) but I really like the thing more space than a regular Wrangler by far I think the hardtop would support a roof tent looks like...
