Sounds like a plan. I like your superduty and would love to do what I can to show you around Washington. Where in the PNW are you moving to?

I got the t-case yoke and spring bushings in yesterday. I'm a little worried that the yoke might be the wrong one as it has the normal type splines and not the funky square ones everyone has said are specific to the 4407. The add was clearly labeled for bw 4407 so I will know more when I try to...

Java; Thank you for the encouragement. I often wish that I could work form the comfort of a nice clean heated shop with all the tools my heart desires, but there is a certain amount of pride that comes from knowing that it is being built in my driveway with a lot of improvisation. I really hope...

I got my bushings for the rear springs and t-case flange ordered and they should be here by the weekend. I might be able to get both things done this weekend if all goes well. I also spent a bunch of time looking at roof top tents over the Christmas holiday and my wife and I feel that would be...

Next I got the limit straps on. I limited the droop to about 10.75" so that when the straps stretch they should end up just shy of the full 12" of travel. The reality is that I will probably almost never get that close to full droop due to the bind in the radius arms. If I set it up so I can...

Today I finally got around to putting the limit straps on the front. I wasn't really in a hurry since I have yet to fully extend the shocks yet. I am pretty sure that the only way I will be able to take full advantage of the shock travel will be to temporarily disconnect the top link on the...

As far as I am aware of there is no alternate for the front output flange on the BW 4407 t-cases. Apparently they have a unique spline that is not found on any other t-case or application. I am pretty sure only the earlier trucks got the 1356 and the '94.5 and up got the 4407. My plan is to...

We got the cance to do some more exploring today. I took the family up some forest service roads around Darrington looking for some new places to go shooting that are off the beaten path. Driving by the Oso slide is always a sobering reminder how destructive nature can be. The drive was pretty...

uncle jessy, rethies, and pappawheely are dead on. A good quality shackle reversal and some good springs are perfect for what you are looking to do. Even if you dont want to lift the truck the increase in ride quality are well worth it. Just a little fun fact, you can fit up to 37" military...

The burb is looking good! I look forward to watching your bumpers come together.

I love the modular aspect of your design. It really puts the multi purpose in multi purpose truck!

Welcome to the forum. Good news, there is nothing that you need to do to you f350 to make it a capable adventure truck. There is a ton that can be done to make it more comfortable and off-road capable. I was able to go places with my f250 bone stock that really surprised me, but now it is just...

Thanks I try to keep it worth a read. The kids love going out exploring and will really like camping as well I think. The prospect of a chance to play in the snow didn't hurt either! Right now the plan is to find a good deal on a used standard height canopy and build a simple sleeping platform...

I carry both a G19 and kimber SISpro depending on my mood and situation. Both are carried in inside the waistband holsters I made. One nice thing about going back and forth between them is the ability to adapt to very different firearms quickly and be proficient with both.

First trip up the mountain Well I couldn't wait any more to get the truck out in the mountains and test it out. Since the rear is still not done and I don't have a front drive line it was not a full test and there are several obstacles that I want to try but I need 4x4 to clear them. I am still...

The truck looks good! I love the sbcc trucks and spent a year looking before I got mine. The only down side is the ttb d50 front axle, but that is easy to fix. Good luck with the truck and keep us posted with your progress.

I could try it in single sheer without any weight on it to make sure the angles would stay the same. I will take a look at it to see if the old driver side leaf mount is in the way or not. I have mulled over the idea of using some modified f150 rear springs to add more flex and a better ride. I...

I was thinking about trying something like your inboarding idea. I am not sure if there is enough angulation in the jonny joints to account for moving the pivots. I'm going to try the easy way first and se where that gets me.

I guess that is the great debate, is there anything detrimental about frame flex or is it part of the engineered function of the frame? If it doesn't cause any real problems then I am fine with it. My full length sliders I want to build will help and once the rear is done it won't put so much of...
