I was speaking with someone that sold Rhino Racks recently and they told me that the longest bar I can use on my vehicle is the 59" Vortex Bar. Unfortunately, 59" bar isn't long enough for what we need. The 79" bar would better suit our needs, offering us a lot more versatility as our plans...

Nice rig. Besides the suspension upgrade, what else are you thinking?

I was watching a video yesterday with 2 Australian bush mechanics and they said they never take the ratcheting combo wrenches specifically because they're more difficult to get into tighter spaces. Their reasoning was between the head being a lot larger and no offset, it just increased the...

Does brand of socket and combination wrench matter? Its a 2016 truck so I'm not expecting to have to fix much, if anything on it, but I want something that I can hold onto and get use out of in the future as I make upgrades. I've currently got an old set of Craftsman that have worked...

Does anyone has information on installing a pressurized water system in the F150? Specifically, location and size of the tank and how it affected your vehicle. Ideally, I'm going to be installing a 15-20 gallon system with a UV filtration system in place to filter the water as it's being filled...

Leaning towards the 2.0's for now, front and back.

How was it installing the fronts? I'm a bit nervous to do the fronts and not sure I even need them.

Truck is 2016 F-150 Super Crew, 5.0 4WD. I'm looking just for the rears. Right now the back end has a tendency to pop out when going over tracks, washboard, or even hitting a small pot hole. We'll be traveling with a RTT and 2 kayaks on top, plus some camping and fishing gear in the back.

We're getting ready to head to Baja for a few weeks this winter and are making some upgrades to the truck to get it ready. Next up is our shocks. I want to keep the build as simple and close to stock as possible. I'm leaning towards the Bilstein 5100's. Reviews on them seem to be good and...

Is this still for sale?

Exactly what I was thinking. Thule has a lift system called the Hullavator, but its $650 per side. I think what we're going to do it put the boats in front of the RTT on a rack from a front bumper receiver and then hanging the boats over the roof rack. I still need to measure it out, but I...

I have a F150 with a cap and want to put a 4 person RTT as well as 2 tandem kayaks on it. The cap itself obviously can't support that kind of load so I'm thinking of using a rack similar to this. My thought is to have the RTT in the middle of the rack while the kayaks are supported from the...

Have you looked into construction roof racks? I believe that's what BobsCreek was mentioning. Your cap/shell will mount on top of where the cap mounts. Your RTT will mount on that rack. This is the setup I'll be using on my F150. My issue is I also need to mount 2 tandem kayaks to it as...

I'm building the the back of the truck out for my family to use an emergency shelter for the when the weather is to bad or a location doesn't present itself for a tent. We have a 4 and 5 y/o plus my wife and I. Our plan is for my 4 y/o to lay across the rear window near the cab and my son to...

Is there a way to run Gaia Maps with a MacBook? Heading to Vancouver Island on 6/10 and our iPad doesn't have near the storage to save the Island for off line use. With my MacBook I was planning on saving the island to card.

Got my tickets to NorthWest Overland Rally. Can't wait to see it!

Sweet Jesus those are expensive! Guess I'm not going the latex route.

After everything, we decided on a 2016 F-150, 5.0, SCREW Cab w/ 6.5' bed. We're a family of 4, plus a dog, so we needed the room. MPG's we're seeing around 18 on the highway and 14 around town. When my wife drives it, it's way less. That's hand calculated. It's generally around 10% less...

Does anyone know if this is true? I was looking around at a few F-150 builds and someone made a comment that this is currently is development for the 6.5' F-150. If so, this would be amazing!

Thank you! I kept googling "rain gutter" and that wasn't directing me to where I wanted. This is exactly it!
