    2017 F-550 Camper Build - Ground Up

    Nice, thank you... The fuel filler works fine, no issue, put diesel in already. The final version will be 25 degrees and integrated into the underbody truck boxes for both tanks (more to come). The rear lights, fuel filler, mud flaps are only temporary until I extend the frame. I need to be...

    Bilstein 5160s

    Call the guys at Accutune.com. With your setup you would benefit from tuned shocks. They will tune your shocks for each corner of the truck. They can steer you into the right shocks and tune them for you... It will make the world of difference versus your OEM or 'off the shelf' shock.... I went...

    Ahh, the Titian Tank Fuel Gauge. The bottom white dots light up to show you the level of the fuel, currently empty so they are not lit. The upper right circle surrounded by 5 red lights is used to feed the factory tank. You push the center button and 5 gallons pump from the Titan tank into your...

    UNRENG: - Track Bar: no idea on that, will cross that path if it's determined if I need one in the rear. I would opt for cutting the rear track bar and sleeving it with DOM tube for the right length if it comes down to it. - With the split loom, by the time it gets crudy I'll probably be moving...

    Been a while, didn't want to muddy this up with wiring and air line running that would put everyone to sleep... Took me a while.... Update: - Had to cut the ends of the bumper protruding into the wheel wells, tires rubbed at these points. I cut, welded in new backing plates on the ends of the...

    What was the thickness of the material you used? I am thinking about doing something similar but on a Ram 1/8th Aluminum As a quick update, nothing exciting, I am wiring the lights, winch, and 60 gallon tank.. Also need to align all lights, they're just kinda sitting there right now not...

    It is Road Armor, I was going to build one very close to this but my tube bender does not support the size of die needed for this large of tubing. I will need to cut the portion of the bumper that intrudes into the wheel well to make room for the tires, then weld back in some structure out of ¼...

    The Morimoto BigBanger HXB spot beams made it in this week. I bought 3 for the light tab mounts. The harness for the lights has the ability to wire right to the up-fitter switches which I will do. Pretty slick they way they send them in the box with a pop up scene as you open the box (lol). .

    The rear hubs did not seat well and were making some noise. I had to remove them again and rear worked the whole thing over. This took me quite some time.... This weekend I pulled the front bumper out from storage and installed the lights (Rigid D Series Flood Beams) and WARN 16.5ti winch. I...

    VERY HELPFUL AND AWESOME FEEDBACK, REPLIES IN RED BELOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH, GREAT STUFF!!! Keep it coming! a word of advice on the titan fuel tank strap bolts...either replace them with stock ford bolts with distorted capture nuts or double nut. we had two straps let loose while traveling on...

    Good Point, I was actually thinking the same. I think I will move it up 4 inches or so to give it some height, it's temporary but it would suck to have diesel spill out on me when filling it up. Finished up the wheel wells 'again', plenty of clearance now.... .

    I had to take the tires/wheel well liners back off due to the tires rubbing when I turn the steering wheel with the air bags completely deflated... They barrrrely rubbed, but I need room not only for the tires but snow chains if/when I use them and IF I blow an air bag I need the tires to not...

    It's been a bit... I needed a break and the weather has been ccoolldd and my dog ate my homework.... Back on it this weekend, working on the temporary rear brake light housings.. The template for cutting out the brake light holes with the plasma cutter was awesome. I primed them, went with...
