Don't need to, that truck of yours as seen, what, 5 continents? Now that the Unicell body as been refurbished, there's no reason it couldn't make the trip in the opposite direction.

You'll be missing out on the people, sights, sounds and the joy of meeting up with fellow travelers. There's rarely any ice and snow south of the border. Travelers can certainly carry as much extra fuel as they feel they need too. The first time I put Pemex diesel in my 2015 truck, I had these...

Spring mounts allow the body to lift away from the frame as it twists. A twisting frame driving a rigid body is hard on the frame. A twisting frame driving a non rigid body is hard on the body. Window and door seals start to leak, cabinet frames and doors start to split and plumbing fittings...

It wouldn't hurt to add two more cylinders, four would be even better.

Many want to remove their DPFs, while some want to make sure theirs doesn't disappear; DPF Security What's needed is a DPF that's serviceable, remove the filter media, clean it, bake it dry and reinstall. If one does remove emission related components, they should consider retaining the parts...

This hasn't been my experience in Mexico. Campgrounds in Mexico are full of Americans and Canadians running later model diesels. Including myself. DEF has been spotted on shelves at AutoZones. I forgot to check at the Walmart in Guaymas when I was there. The only emission related problem...

For some reason my mind flashed with visions of Max and the Fury road when I read the thread. 1upusa has one but it's only rated for 380lbs. I attached the link only bause it's a good looking design. https://www.1upusa.com/product-cargocarrier60black.html

They look like awesome rigs. It's the rig price, when one starts jumping continents, one has to be prepared to walk away from their vehicle, both physically and financially. The emission equipment issue doesn't bother me, people are traveling the world with later model diesels without their...

Pull the battery terminals and check for corrosion. It doesn't take much.

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on being a FG owner. It's the tipping upwards of the container to pour the DEF into the tank, I bet your having difficulty with. If you move the fill port to the other side you won't be able to see the clear level tube on the tank. Even with the included spout...

If your wire runs are short and though cabinets and cupboards the above will work. If your wire runs are buried in the ceiling, walls and under the floor, the above is poor practice. Do not splice. Not doing so results in ALL crimp connections being located at the source or at the use-end on...
