    2023 F350 Tremor Build "Gandalf the Grey"

    At 58k+ miles I replaced the stock Goodyear Duratracs with BF Goodrich KO3s in 285/75R18 Initial impressions after the first 1000 miles is that they are quiet and handle on the road better than the Duratracs did. One of the rears needs a little balance work, I’ll need to find some time to get...

    Here’s a couple side shots. I see a lot more dirt from job sites than trails sadly but I’ve been getting out once a month.

    2023 F350 Tremor Build "Gandalf the Grey"

    I haven’t made too many updates in a while because I’ve been in the woods enjoying the rig. Last year in August and early September I experienced a flat battery due to the DC-DC charger not keeping up due to heat. Victron newer model has some significant improvements but I didn’t want to...

    Thank you! This light has 3 levels of white light and 3 levels of amber. You can also buy lens covers in different colors.

    I could see damaged wires in my future so I installed an ARB wire guide on my fridge slide. Works awesome but now I need to get an extension for my DIN cable.

    I have also been looking for the right LED task light for under the awning, the truck bed door and in the pop up section of the cap. I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I landed on National Luna touch lights. There wasn’t a good way to mount them so I came up with this prototype 3d...

    My fridge died! Well, kind of. I noticed on July 5th my temps were higher than normal and through trouble shooting the compressor isn’t kicking on. It seems like there is a leak in the refrigerant. I called Equipt1 where I bought it and without a hassle they are replacing it. Huge shout...

    Thanks for the kind words! The bed platform is 24” wide, along with the fridge top which is for the feet is 6.5’ long which is more than enough for my wife. She doesn’t like the lack of space up top. The open space in the wheel well area is perfect for camp chairs and other misc stuff that...

    Awning recommendations?

    I’d like to see a Bush Co in person but it seems pretty great. I am stuck on my Alucab for the square rear coverage where most of My personal use lies.

    Any 7.3 gasser owners?

    I had a 2004 F250 with the 6.4 diesel before my last F150. That was the crappiest most pain in the but vehicle I’ve ever owned. Aside from the engine design issues which were catastrophic I learned that diesel wasn’t for me. I don’t tow enough and the fact that most gas stations have one...

    Had a pretty rainy weekend last weekend which was perfect to test the Alucab shadow awn rain gutter. I’d say it’s a 90% fix for the rain drops on the tailgate gap. If I had to do it over I’d take this to a local shop to use as a pattern and make it 8” wider. Well worth the money and it...

    Started working on the fridge slide today. I’m using a Tembo Tusk slide with cutting board add on. Wow this thing is a tank! The middle section will be two drawers and the back section is the Packout battery with room up top for cables, etc. the wood portion is dead on flush with the fridge...

    2023 F350 Tremor Build "Gandalf the Grey"

    Another very small update, I added a rotopax water can to the passenger side of the truck bed tucked behind where the fridge will be mounted on a slide. It looks like I could even do a double if I wanted but will wait to see how the slide goes in. I'm having a hard time sourcing baltic birch...

    Well, I couldn't take the stock mattress any longer and going through the AT owners group on the book of faces I found a good alternative. Pure Green 3" latex mattress topper https://a.co/d/ioW7fAx It's an inch thicker than the AT and defineatly more comfortable. I took the covers off the...

    Is Offroading in a SuperDuty Really That Bad?

    That’s hilarious, your reply made my day!
