Just picked up a fiberglass mid-height shell for my F150. I'm thinking to mount a solar panel on the roof of it and mounting a 180 awning. What's the best way to do that? Looking for an easily customizable and decent quality setup. So far I'm thinking T-track which I've never used but seems...

Anyone know what is the max height tire that will fit on a stock 2018 F150? I've got the stock 20" wheels at the moment, but I want to replace them with 17 or 18" wheels and slightly taller/narrower tires.

There are a bunch out there, and some, like the Batwing look to be a bit fragile. I'm a magnet for really bad weather when camping so I'd like to find something really rugged. Looking for some experienced reviews.

Selling the HQ15. 2019 demo model which I purchased in June 2020. Sold as a new unit with warranty. After purchase I had RV's of America (ROA) install a McHitch, and do a partial winterize mod which included: water tank heaters and circulation pump and isolation valve for outside shower. I've...

It's time to go. Selling the HQ15. 2019 demo model which I purchased in June 2020. Sold as a new unit with warranty. After purchase I had RV's of America (ROA) install a McHitch, and do a partial winterize mod which included: water tank heaters and circulation pump and isolation valve for...

German designed and built camper called Fernweh (wanderlust) Mobile. Not many of them out there and it is an awesome, solid offroad camper. Low-tech and super easy to live with. Has 150watt solar panel, Optima yellow top battery and 1000 watt pure sine inverter. Dometic fridge. Lots of storage...

I have no experience with either the Bad Elf or the Garmin GLO. Who has used them and what are your thoughts? I plan on using one of them on my ipad 6 w/wifi only. thanks for the input.

As someone who knows little about off road nav technology, the sheer amount and diversity of content is a bit overwhelming - especially since providers usually consider full disclosure about capability and limits of their content a low priority: true story - I'm at Overland Expo the other day...

So today I test drove 2 GMT 800's. One was a swank 03 GMC 2500 with 6.0 gas 77k miles- the other a 04 Chevy 2500HD Duramax 148k miles. Roughly same price. The GMC was very nice but didn't feel much more powerful than my F150 4.6. The Dmax was an nice/average example of a 148k mile truck and...

Awhile back a fellow forum member mentioned that Chevy 2500 torsion bars can be installed on a 2000 F150. I didn't get which model 2500 bars should be used. I'm guessing it would be 2001-2006 models, but can anyone confirm that?

I'm looking for a vendor of small petrol forced air heaters. Like Webasto Airtop 2000, or Espar Airtronic B1LC. Anyone know where I can get one of these? Or something comparable. Not diesel.

Here is a progress report on my pop up truck camper. The fiberglass shell is finished and ready for build out… It's from a small German company called "Fernweh Mobil" After three meetings at their factory to discuss a custom build, we pulled the trigger. The build quality and design is, in our...

I'm ready to pull the trigger on a good winch. Plan to use one of those protable mounts so I can install it into a reese hitch in the front or rear bumper. I've got a F150 with camper, so considering a Zeon 10S. Anyone have experience with these winches?

Perhaps some of you Ford experts can give me some advise... I've got a 2000 F150 and want to increase the load capacity to better handle a camper and gear. With the goal of K.I.S.S. I don't want to use airbags. This is not a serious mudder or rock crawler, but more a overland traveler with...

Finally, a bit of progress is going with our project… The plan is to build a reliable overland vehicle of a brand that has worldwide factory support, and with budget discipline. Decisions like this are also a degree of compromise. For the past few years we have used our FJ Cruiser with RRT and...

Anyone ever used one of those folding Coleman camp ovens? It seems a bit hokie but curious if they actually work.

The following is cut and pasted from a trip report about a camping/trail running trip in Sept. I couldn't figure out how to get the whole file attached because of the size, so I'll upload it in pieces. This article was published in the local newspaper. Our 5200 pound behemoth lies in a small...

I found a 83 Landcruiser for sale I'm considering to buy. I'm no expert on LC's. The owner is calling it a BJ45. Searches I've done in the internet tell me it looks like what is usually called a HJ45 wagon or FJ45. It has the extended and enclosed cabin. With the pop up roof. Deisel, I think 3B...

Thinking about installing a dual battery setup in my FJC. Looking at either the Ironman 275 amp, or the IBS 200 amp. The big difference that I see is the IBS has more switching capabilities but relies on the control modue to do so. The Ironman while less versatile, uses manual switches. Anyone...
