Thanks for the compliment! I am ornery as can be when it comes to the taking of the pictures. I usually get caught up in what I'm doing and then get home all pissed off because I forgot to take a single pic. I gotta do better. But I'm absolutely loving the "adventure trailer." It's so convent to...

I'm not sure where to post these pics anymore. I had been putting them on the diesel truck's thread, but that's just because the camper started out in that truck. I've been camping close to home lately and I prefer to use this work truck. The 460 don't get in my wallet on short trips. The truck...

Wow. Such a great build! Really enjoyed reading and following your progress. My old 97 F-350 crew cab had a 351 when I bought it. I swapped it out for a 460 . YUGE difference!!! I know the 460 won't begin to touch your 8.1. You have yourself a fine rig that's been nicely done. Congratulations on...

So did you get rid of the old diesel? I remember reading that you were thinking about retiring it. Also- super nice new ride! That is EXACTLY what I plan to buy next. I even want the bumper, winch, and flat bed!

swrider, No major modifications. It has a set of add-a-leaves on the front and air bags on the back. 285-75-16 tires on stock Ford Alcoa aluminum wheels (plasti-dipped black). It does have an old school warn winch bumper and a new steel flat bed. The engine is a bone stock 460 and it's got a...

There's this one opening on the body. We all have it. Everybody's stinks. Then there's this saying about opinions and the similarities. So here's my opinion. I'm a farmer- or rancher depending on what part of the country you live in. I've noticed that I can do a mild lift- add-a-leaves and or a...

So we finally had a chance to head out for an over nighter. Yesterday day was me and the wife's anniversary. 13 years!! So we made an easy trip down to the river. We didn't spend a ton of time- but we had a blast. Ate giant steaks and jalapeño poppers! Drank "a little" wine. All in all it was a...

The point is to have a back porch. I could remove it, wouldn't hurt a thing. But last night I took a shower while standing on it and my feet stayed nice and clean while I scrubbed up. It serves as a place to store our coolers for easy access. Just open the back door and walk out to the cooler...

I have reflectix cut out for all the windows on my shell. But I only use them if I'm in it. You can't see crap with them in. Good for privacy and security though. Ain't nobody gonna see in.

Had a little bit of time today while I was smoking up a great big meal for Dad. Figured it'd be a fine time to do a little bit of work to the water system. The pics are pretty much self explanatory. I do plan on putting the battery in the camper next to the other one and connecting them...

I've lucked up and ended up with those bumpers on both my trucks. Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks guys! I was super busy today. Summertime and farm work are a real handful some days. So I got nothing done. I only need to anchor the tank and place the pump to be done. Well, I also need to power the pump. No big job. But I'm totally whipped by the end of the day. It's been hotter than...

Here's a few for starters. Nothing technical. I'll post more as I get time. But you gotta start somewhere! I know, that's the work truck and it has its own thread. But it gets jealous!

Thanks. I've tried it all. Currently the Diesel has no topped on so I can haul my horses. I've got the camper on the trailer, the legs are on the tailgate for the porch part, I've installed a really big tool chest in front on the camper that has a 46 gallon fresh water tank, a 45 psi 4gpm pump...

My very first Ford was an 88' F-250. It was probably the best truck I ever owned. I modified it every way possible. I beat it, I hauled stuff, packed stuff, four wheeled it, jumped it, and loved every second of it! Such an awesome truck. Good score!

Talkin' bout That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!

Oh yes!! That's my kind of ride!!!!

Sweet setup with the alternators. I made a tray and was able to put a group 31 battery on my work truck. It's very large- but jumping my combine last harvest season revealed to me that I need more charging ability. I'm going to have to look hard at what you've done here.

I have a 97- OBS truck. 7.3, 5 spd, 4.10, 35" tires. I am very happy with the combination. I didn't like the 4.10's until I put the tall tires on. Thing spun around 2,500 rpm at 70mph in 5th gear. It was good for country cruising though. Since I haul horses and other things I do work my truck. I...

I'll second that chilliwak! I've really enjoyed watching this high quality build. One of my favorites.
