I've worked in Williston. If those Sprinters hauled crew then the interiors are probably pretty well used. The last oil field company I worked for had a couple of Sprinters for crew vans. They got the crap beat out of them on the lease roads we were driving on, partly due to the driver and...

What are you doing about ULSD fuel and DEF in South America? Do you know if there are Ford dealers on your route that have the technology and training to work on your engine and after treatment if something fails? I'd be more worried about that than tire availability.

Pretty good mileage for a house. The faster you drive bricks like that the worse the mpg.

You ever heard the saying "My welding skills made me into a really good grinder". Nice build.

So you could take a leaf out of that parabolic spring pack and be ok? I'm a truck mechanic but have only dealt with regular old leaf springs which are fairly easy to take a leaf or two out to get a softer ride.

Those are parabolic leaf springs so I don't think you can just remove a leaf and be ok. See how the middle is thicker and it tapers towards each end. Build your truck and get each axle weight fully loaded and then find a spring shop. Oh we need to see some pics of the whole truck too.

Betcha the truck would go for a bit more than 35k right now with the used truck market being what it is.

How many leaves does each spring have? If it's a bunch then you can take some out to soften up your ride, if it's only 2 or 3 leaves per spring then you can't. I would recommend you build it and get your total travel weight per axle and run it to see how it rides. If it's too rough then go...

Did you hike up Fern Canyon at all or was there too much water? I grew up on Berry Summit on 299 10 miles west of Willow Creek and have been all over the area. I went over the Bald Hills right after most of it had been paved probably 15 years ago. My mom still lives up on Berry Summit so I...

Yeah, I know. I was thinking smaller like F550 size.

I thought there were some armored trucks made for Iraq based off commercial chassis that used rims like that.

Sent you a PM.

Wow that thing is sweet. Did not win the lottery last night so it's out of my price range.

The tailgates on them just say Jeep.

Not all of them, some are M725s. And no rubbing either.?

Most of my Jeeps will fit 38" tires, no lift, totally stock.

I hope you left a little bit of room between the bed floor and bed walls for expansion on each side when the wood gets wet. You probably don't see a ton of rain down there but it doesn't take much for that wood to swell up. Coming along nicely.

Yep, I was a mechanic in the Marines and we kept our rigs up. Other units, bring it in and we'll get to it.

I have had a Oz RV5 for over 10 years now and I bought it used. I'd say it's 7' long all folded up in its bag. The best tent I've ever used and holds up well to bad weather and little kids. It's not too bad to put up on a roof rack due to the fact it's so long you can put one end up and then...

Nice M715. Are you on the M715zone too?
