Ram quality is lacking. And Chrysler electronic fun times. And you get crap like start/stop and cylinder deactivation. No thanks. I will say the 2018+ trucks are the best RAM quality yet. Not that that's saying too much. I can't stand the flippy mirrors that stick WAY out (stupid...

The weld on shock tabs we used are 1/4" thick. Fox uses the same hardware (nuts and bolts). So match factory hole size.

Rather windy and overrun with RVs. Not our type of destination! It was fun hanging out with the other campers tho.

Just got an update from FOX. They are in process with designing/building a drop mount. No ETA on it. Will wait and see what they come up with.

Here's some pictures of the hydro ram mount. You'll want to fully cycle the suspension and steering to get the tie rod camp angle correct. While it appears to have plenty of clearance... at full compression clearance is really tight!

FYI... All 2020+ Super Duty trucks have "drive modes". Even our XL. Snow, Sand, Eco, Tow, etc... Only difference is it disables the traction control in low range. That's where the Tremor has the advantage. But having driven many rigs with excellent traction control off road... they have...

Met lots of great folks. It was fun to chat. Bit less off road type oriented rigs than I expected. Yet everyone.... including yourself bailed out. We ran the route SOLO. Nothing challenging about it. But sure did have some cool stuff near the Yuma end to explore like the gold mine. It...

Seriously? Off road modes? This is a massive gimmick. It's just using traction control to modulate the brakes. I'll take a real locking diff or even a TrueTrac (gear style limited slip) any day. Traction control has massive limitations. But maybe it's worth the extra money for some. I...

No, the steering stabilizer isn't necessary with hydo. We already had purchased the stabilizer and really liked the steering feel it offers. Without it, the steering ram gives the steering a rather light feel and somewhat numb on center feel. Guess it would be personal preference. You...

Why buy the Tremor? It's overpriced and really offers nothing you can't get in an XL truck for way less money. First, the Tremor only is in the crew short bed configuration. 160"WB. We had this truck configuration originally. Way too long for trails and maneuvering enjoyably. Second...

No issues mounting. I'm still running the stabilizer. I've been talking with Fox since September. They have been looking into building a 1-1.5" drop mount for the frame side. You need to make sure the mounting angle on the drag link allows for full steering and suspension motion without...

In this episode we make our snow storm escape! Overnight we received an additional 4-6” of snow making the route even more challenging. There were plenty of fallen and down trees to remove and some tight squeezes for our big camper to get through. Thankfully, the dewalt pole saw continued to...

1. Fridge is one of the largest power draws. Not because it is a significant amount of power (~5amps) but it is fairly consistent power draw. That being said. In the summer, 200-300W of solar should work alright with 100ah (or larger) battery. Winter, you'll be needing more solar or DC...

We originally wanted a fiberglass camper. Biggest issues were the BIGNESS. They are so wide and long. And heavy. Just not ideal for off road type travel. Wish they made a small version 80-84" wide. So just depends on how you plan to use it. I think these campers are best suited for dually...

Empty....It drives like an F350. Fairly stiff. But the leaf springs are much thinner so they are somewhat compliant (compared to F350). However, we have other vehicles to drive when not needing the truck. It's fairly rare for us to drive it empty. Either pulling the enclosed trailer or...

Yes, you can manually lock the hubs. Or leave in the "auto" position which actuates them via vacuum line.

It would be sweet to have a manual transmission. I really wanted a manual shift transfer case. Ford dropped it for the 2020+ Super Duty. Sad. I've thought about converting but will probably wait till the electronic shift fails.

HAHA - Yep! That's my advice... At least a winch weight is down low. Shovel #1. So universal and low weight. I still want to try the Maxxis Razr AT tires. That might be the next set... I like the General ATx but not sure about the sidewalls. Getting back into some snowflake tires would...

We don't have any sway bar (front or rear). Our truck only came with the front sway bar. No plans to add any sway bar. No issues with sway - but you need to drive for the weight/size of the rig. Will never handle like a car. Yes! That front emblem is huge. Faith calls it a serving dish...

In this off road overland snow adventure, we continue our track through the remote mountains in Southern Oregon! Fallen trees and more trees! We give our Dewalt pole saw a serious workout. Plus, lots of winching to remove fallen trees blocking the road. Our camper proves to be “too tall” to...
