Awesome truck and build @Old bike doc ! I love the single cab/long-bed F250s/350s and appreciate your build style. Nice job on the bed rack and floor jack mount as well.

Nice 'burb @mface7! Looking forward to following.

Thanks @glwright, I appreciate it. Ol' Edgar is definitely a work in progress, with stops and starts, but I'm having fun bringing him back. Should be lots going on this winter. Feel free to borrow away, there's some fun stuff coming down the pipe. The one thing that I continue to be impressed...

Thanks @Explorerinil. Haven't had a garden in about 20 years, so it's nice to be growing again! I'll post a photo here a bit later, but everything is growing like gangbusters. Several varieties of tomatoes, tomatillos, squash, peppers, lettuce, carrots, radishes and a whole bed of strawberries.

I like them all to some degree or another. I'm glad I'm not much of a brand loyalist, or else I would have missed out on all fun I've had over the years with GMs, Fords, Dodges, Toyotas and Nissans. All have had interesting pros and cons and failure points. My '92 K1500 has 280k on it at this...

Well, as it goes sometimes, work got busy and work on Edger got temporarily waylaid. I ended up doing the WABDR with some great friends in their rigs last minute and had a blast. Here’s just a few of the scenery photos. More WABDR photos and project updates to come.

Very cool and can’t wait to see your progress on this rig! I love the 6.7/G56/NP273 combo along with that 12.25” S111 axle in the back. Pure beef! ?? Seems like an awful lot of truck for the money and a great platform for your build.

Any progress on the build @vargsmetal? ?

As others have thoughtfully said, just get out there and enjoy it, learn what you need by takings trips both short and long and bring the recovery gear for you that makes sense. For many years, also due to cash constraints, my exploration rig was a 1991 Nissan Hardbody with 2wd with an open...

The 'ol '92 K1500 (RCSB, 5.7, NV4500) next to the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River near Snoqualmie, WA:

Like many here, I'm stoked that the new Bronco has become a reality. The more I read about it the more impressed I am that Ford is building a Bronco that I feel is a true continuation of what a Bronco should be (in my humble opinion). Having body-on-frame construction, a solid rear axle, a well...

Just awesome! I’ve enjoyed the heck out of watching your camper build @Andrew_S ! Seeing the thought, engineering and build quality that you and your wife have put into this camper has been so cool! I can totally understand the switch to linear actuators. It makes all sorts of sense. What’s the...

A shot from the AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association) Marymount observed trial yesterday in Spanaway, WA. Old Edger looks right at home with my brother’s 1974 Honda TL125 Trials bike in back... My 1966 Bultaco Sherpa T trials bike wasn’t cooperating yesterday (had a lean-out...

Sometimes the path to adventure is paved with dirt... lots of dirt, 6 yards of dirt and 3,000lbs of concrete blocks to be more specific. Gotta get some stuff done before a week on the WABDR. Raised planter beds have been on the home roster for awhile and thanks to having a good truck, getting...

Good info and thanks for the advice @nitro_rat. The stock master appears to be working just fine, so I’ll leave it be for know and see how she works with the new calipers/cylinders and take it from there. Hey now, it’s great advice no matter the price! ?

Have just been working, working and working (no complaints!) and getting ready to do a cannonball-fix up effort on old Edger here in the next week or so to get ready for the WABDR (leaving the 5th of July and planning to do the whole 600 miles God willing and the creek don't rise). Just...

Very cool! Love the adventures!

The camper looks amazing!!! Its incredible how tall it is when deployed and how compact it is when stowed. Just gosh darn cool!

The camper is lookin’ amazing @Andrew_S! Keep up the great work; I’m digging all the little touches in the aluminum Fab. As they say, the Devil’s in the details. Close call on the saw!!! I’ve been there and done that (usually with hardwood) and it’s a wake up call for sure! Be safe and watch...

Well said @CrazyDrei. That was something I failed to mentioned in my previous post so I’m happy you brought it up. Most vehicles aren’t left stock and the track width gets altered significantly, as you said. Your burb has really proved quite a few excellent points as you’ve built and used it...
