    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Our Winnebago View had the Weboost Drive X OTR with the “baseball bat” style antenna on a spring mount. This antenna was mounted 1ft above the roof and hit trees and other low hanging things (not ideal). It was fantastic to have additional cell coverage on remote trips. However, there were...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Max - Really enjoying the OX locker. It has been performing flawlessly since getting a proper air pressure switch for the D60 (ARB180901 135psi/150psi). Tremor is really cool for a factory truck. But extra money can go a long way toward better aftermarket components! There's no comparison...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    We were at 35psi rear. 25psi front. It works well on for our weight on roads like this. Will run much lower in sand and deep snow.

    Summit Lake is a high mountain lake in Oregon at 4,200ft elevation. The water source is from rain and snow melt off making the water crystal clean with tropical coloration. This lake is special due to the short open season starting around June and ending in September. Unfortunately, the...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Remote mountain lakes are incredible and they are even better when the access road requires a high clearance 4WD! Leavitt Lake is around 9,600ft in elevation and is accessible from Leavitt Lake Road (Forest Service Road 077). However, it is gated at the bottom as snow often limits access until...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    No issues so far! It's always started well. We've been in some heat recently 115 degrees. It sounds like 2 separate issues... fuel pump and evap system. These newer trucks have the evap canister is located behind the fuel tank (in front of the axle) with the vent run behind the fuel...

    Calling all suspension geeks.

    Bigger question is budget. Performance is at a cost... Deaver leaf springs would fix your handling trouble and you could ditch air bags. Handling performance will have much to do with proper spring rates for load and tuned shocks.

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Check out page 12 for the 1yr update on the tires. Still running the X-AT tires. Overall, we are happy with them! Quality built and solid performance. Although, will likely try another tire next round mostly just to try another tire.

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Ford earned a bad rap among the Toyota crowd regarding reliability. Fixed Or Repaired Daily However, our experience is proving to be very different. In fact, I’d compare it directly to the Toyota Tundra in regards to reliability. Our first year of ownership and 15k miles has been mostly...

    2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Hey Ken - We purchased the trim through a local RV dealer: Arizona RV Service Part # 20-6935 - Roof Trim Mill 16ft It was much cheaper having them order the trim and pick up due to the length and shipping cost. We ordered 2 sticks. It was aluminum and easy to bend to roof contour. We...

In this video, we give a quick update and share some of the problems and overall ownership experience has been. Our truck camper has been extensively modified. Be sure to check out the earlier videos to...

    2021 Tacoma - 6 Speed Manual - "Overland Light" MPG Build

    @chadwicksavage True. From a price and economy standpoint. Totally agree. Ram quality has improved but Ford still has the better overall build/platform. 4runner or Tacoma is a much easier to zip around town/park and or off road maneuverability. Stronger resale. Proven...

    2021 Tacoma - 6 Speed Manual - "Overland Light" MPG Build

    @Dalko43 That's true... the 4runner is rather different. Biggest difference is being manufactured in Japan! One of the last "real" Toyota vehicles (less diluted). I do prefer the 4.0L motor. However, the 3.5L is much more efficient for "in town" driving. Tacoma once was a "budget"...

    2021 Tacoma - 6 Speed Manual - "Overland Light" MPG Build

    @kerouac I'm right at 6ft tall. I agree, the Tacoma seating position is much more "car like" (low to the floor). I typically enjoy a taller seating position. Mercedes Sprinter Vans are the absolute best! However, I found my 1998 Tacoma to be surprisingly comfortable and drove it on many long...

    2021 Tacoma - 6 Speed Manual - "Overland Light" MPG Build

    In this review we do a “deep dive” into the new Tacoma. How it is built. Differences from previous generations. And some testing. What is this Tacoma good for? Having owned both a 1st and 2nd generation Tacoma; it is interesting to see the similarities and compare the differences. Toyota...

    That's why we had the custom bed tank built (drawing attached to post #1). Only lost 3" of bed length. No vehicle modifications. Siphon transfer. About as simple as it gets. Spare stays in the stock location.

    2021 Tacoma - 6 Speed Manual - "Overland Light" MPG Build

    For performance and manual.... 2015 Tacoma 4.0L w/ 6 speed and supercharger. Those are getting serious HP numbers (Underdog Racing Development). It would out run most v8s. But then requires premium fuel (although 4.0L prefers premium either way) and no more mpg or range. Finding used clean...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    @1000arms - If that is the case... choosing a diesel seems problematic. Unless ordering a aftermarket tank.... at least there is a tank option but it does reduce ground clearance. Interesting.

    2021 Tacoma - 6 Speed Manual - "Overland Light" MPG Build

    @shmabs - Good observations! Buying a Taco isn't solely for fuel mileage. It was primarily for the 6 speed manual and perceived reliability/resale. It is much more nimble (fun to drive) than a full size! Easier to zip around town and park. MPG is a factor. But realistically, we have a fun...
