    Great White Buffalo - 2000 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke

    That is a cool solution for OBD2 data. I used an Edge CTS2 for similar data and the ability to monitor EGTs via their probe.

    Great White Buffalo - 2000 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke

    I have basically (my interior is tan :( ) the same truck! I also almost bought a Ram in 2018 lol. Regarding your parts list, I would take it to a shop you trust and have them run through it, specifically for glow plug and injector testing. Otherwise, my limited experience with the 7.3L is that...

    Angled rear panel as fashion

    I agree that there is a lot of fashion involved in this aesthetic (personally, I like it). I also agree that when mounted on a flatbed, it doesn't do anything. Four Wheel Campers do the expo angle and flatbed design so poorly that it somehow looks worse. I disagree with the notion that it...

    Flatbed campers by TotalComposites

    I have an Aluma bed and the headache rack has little wings that eat into the overall available length of the flatbed. The CM beds (and others) I've seen with a headache rack at the front have similar supports that cause the shortest overall length on the beds be just shy of the nominal 8.5'...

    Another 2020 Ram 5500 Flatbed Camper Build

    This wasn't directed to me but I've worked with Andreas at Boxmanufakur and he was phenomenal. Unlike Total Composites, they only build and ship you your camper built to your specs - no kits. Cost-wise, they were really similar to Total Composites if you had a 3rd party build the TC box and ship...

    Ram 5500 super single options

    Trail Ready wheels will custom make wheels of much higher quality than others: https://www.trbeadlocks.com/ They can make you wheels with the right offset/backspace, bolt pattern, width, and bead profile (although two years ago they did comment on difficulty getting a profile to work with MPTs).

    Truck Bed Utilization

    Well, I have this one for sale if you're interested... :ROFLMAO: Anyhow, I got this one from Slide-Masters in WI. They do commercial and rescue applications. Their retail game is not as strong as others, it seems. They can custom make a slide to almost any dimension or extension. They were...

    Truck Bed Utilization

    I've mentioned this in another thread, but I would go with a slide out versus a drawer system. With drawers, while you have access to the contents, you still have to reach for stuff deep inside. With a slide that extends 100%, you can get to everything no matter where it is. You can also use any...

    Total Composites flatbed build

    There are ratings, but these are fairly subjective and vary among locales. Usually, they are discussed in guidebooks, forums, or other areas of local knowledge. Similar to ski resort ratings - reliable in the area, but you can't compare a midwest ski hill black diamond with a Rocky Mountain...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    What are you using for your pump? Does it have the ability to draft water uphill (ie - a stream or water container outside of the truck) into your tank after passing through the filter?

    Superduty Tire Size - 7.3L

    It isn’t a full on side shot but I hope you get the gist

    Total Composites flatbed build

    That actually looks like a Series 1 Discovery. As @rruff said, an SUV is pretty rigid. Specifically, a LR Disco was quite stiff - it had full-length box section frame rails and a very flexible coil spring suspension. I can see why it did well. Also, the cabin is relatively short. For example the...

    Total Composites flatbed build

    A fiberglass camper does not tolerate flex well. On the road, that isn't much of an issue, but becomes apparent offroad when the cabin attempts to twist but its material and design don't like doing so. The goal of a dynamic mounting system is to limit the net amount of twist that is...

    Superduty Tire Size - 7.3L

    Like you, I also had a hard time finding actual info. I have a 2000 F350 leveled using a Rough Country mini pack. I’m running Toyo RTs in a 285/75-18 on 18x9 Method 701 HDs. I don’t know the specs off the top of my head, but the offset on these appear stock when mounted (obviously, the offset is...

    1994 Toyota Truck $5000 obo Albuquerque, NM

    Good question. Sorry I didn't mention this in the original post. The paint was rattlecanned on by me in 2015. I tried to be as careful as possible, but it's rattlecan, so... At the same time, I also removed the interior and put sound deadener into the doors, floors, and walls of the truck. I...

    1994 Toyota Truck $5000 obo Albuquerque, NM

    From your mouth to God's ears, lol! ? IMHO, this truck is perfect apart from the few blemishes I've tried to lay out. I'm trying to price it to be accessible and to get it out of the way. a
