    FJ80 Parts collection

    I guess I should have specified last call before going into deep storage, where they’ll likely sit till after my days are done, as nothing ever seems to get out of there! I’d really like to sell them as a single lot, happy to take any serious offers.

    FJ80 Parts collection

    Darn, I just realized I never got notified about these replies and totally forgot to check back in. I still have all these parts and love to sell them in a single lot - I’m in Los Angeles.

    Which of the big three 3/4 tons would you look at and why?

    I went for the 6.2 when I ordered it 4 years ago because a lot of the early crate 7.3 engines were giving bad problems in motorhomes and tour buses, and it was also the first year they were putting them in the SD, so I went with known reliability. Overall couldn't be happier with the rig, the...

    Tire advice on the Falken Wildpeak R/T

    I'm trying to figure out the next tire for my 11,200lb rig, which is currently on 37X13.50R17 Wild Peaks, and while they're very nice tires to drive on both the road and dirt, they've been shredded by the approx 3,500-4,000 off road miles I've done around the American west (out of about 16,500...

    Forscan Dedicated Forum

    I'd love to find an expert here in LA, I have x4 warnings that come on every time I turn on the ignition for things I've removed from the truck, it's such a pain having to 'ok' them every time!

    Southern route from San Diego to Texas for the eclipse

    Work allowing I hope to leave around March 21 to get there on the 7th, and take around 3 weeks on the return, possibly heading further north on the return, weather depending.

    Southern route from San Diego to Texas for the eclipse

    Anyone got any thoughts on great places to take in and explore heading overland as much as possible doing a more or less I-8/I-10 & along the border route from SoCal to Texas. Really want to spend time at White Sands, but love any other tips of amazing spots. This is my rough route plan so far...

    Adding my build thread in here as the main build is essentially all done now (but I'm sure the little upgrades never end!) https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/f350-supercab-4x4-lariat-6-2-v8-build-story-completed.235067/

    Reasonable Internet service if you are not using Starlink?

    I'm on the verge of doing Starlink too, love to hear if anyone is using it on a truck camper in deep remote spots with success. Also can you do internet calling over it?

    F350 SuperCab 4x4 Lariat 6.2 V8 Build Story - Completed

    I use a Fuji GFX 100s for everything, though it's a bit outside its comfort zone at night, requiring stacking a dozen sky or so exposures to get around the grain issue. 8 seconds seems to be where you need to be to 'freeze' the stars, so the 23mm f4 requires 3200iso to get there. Inside the...

    F350 SuperCab 4x4 Lariat 6.2 V8 Build Story - Completed

    I haven't yet, as once I got everything loaded up I didn't pass by any handy ones, but I will before my next long trip, planning a six weeker to go off-road and back roads out to Texas for the eclipse, so will be fully loaded and right by my local scales. (Since I'll be traveling solo I'm...

    Stormtrooper Build Thread

    Yes, riding on 37's and the stock rear gearing with the 3:73 Electronic Locking rear axel. The automatic box is pretty good on the road using the 'Haul' engine setting, and on the dirt I'm almost always in manual, so changing gears works fine and doesn't seem to need a different final drive ratio
