Been a while- not much has changed. Still spends most of its time hauling around a side by side, and occasionally a Mustang. Though running into oil temp issues pulling passes in the summer with an 8.5x20 cargo and Mustang in it. Sustained 128c (263f...) at 65mph ish up a pass. Had to slow...

Welcome back!! How many miles on the ol' Super Duty?

Aww. Too bad. I hate people dropping off the face of the earth and never knowing what happened lol.

X2 for a super single 450 with a flatdeck and TC... $200k done new.

Yup. Far less time to do the trips and such these days. Hopefully that changes.

Did you sell the Raptor?

I haven't updated this in a while- Had this for the last 10 months, beautiful truck, however I missed my tremor. Replaced it with this 2025 Tremor. With the price of trucks continuing to climb, I will keep this one for once. I had a set of 285/75/18 (34.8x11.5) and a ready lift level kit put...

Looks good depending on all the other factors. At no point did I say GVWR = safety.

Any updates on this? Looks great.

I have spent 5 years looking at a half ton/ truck camper combo, it just doesn't work. A pop up FWC type deal, on the correct half ton sure. The 610 is as close as it possibly comes to working, however the payload on the door sticker (not the payload in the brochure...) of a 6.5' bed, basic half...

No you're most certainly not affecting just first gear. Wow. If a 3.73 truck turns 1900rpm at 75mph, a 4.30 truck would turn approx 2200 rpm. Massive difference. Same goes for every gear. That's why it's called a final drive. It affects the final drive of each gear, as well as acting as a...

Gearing is a huge part of building a truck with a 7.3. The difference between 3.73's and 4.30's is massive when running big tires, with big wind sails (campers or trailers) behind them. If you have a 3.73 truck with 37's or larger look at 4.56's- biggest difference one can make without power adders.

So one issue with the ADD bumper is it requires removal of the crash bars- Is the bumper strong enough? I know plenty of people remove them (even though it fits a 315/70/17 with a level) however they are there for a reason. This is also a nice middle ground...

The one more night thing... I get that all too well!!

Not yet. Haven't decided on the protection vs looks of the ADD one lol
