We took the Tacoma on another EPIC trip! Over 2,000 miles traveled and 2 weeks of camping... Completed the Rubicon Trail, Fordyce Trail, Barrett Lake Trail with lots of exploring between. Best thing about this truck is being able to drive 12hrs to the destination and drive home. No trailer...

After 1 week of traveling in the Truck Camper we talk about the things we like and dislike about it. There is nothing perfect. Everything has some compromise and trade off. Most of the challenge is finding what works for you! So far, we are enjoying the change to the truck camper. There are...

One of the “MUST HAVE” options on any current generation Ford F250 / F350 is the Auxiliary Switch Panel. This is a rather inexpensive option when ordering your truck (less than $200). The switches are located in the interior headliner area near the front windshield. It allows for you to...

Glad you enjoyed the videos. There's a ton to consider with camper choices. Really comes down to the comforts you want and how you plan to use it. I've done many styles of travel (interior sleeping platform, soft roof tent, hard roof tent, four wheel camper, Sprinter RV and truck camper)...

Thanks! Enough money and time anything is possible. :) I have looked into diesel. There are just too many downsides and not enough upside. Pros: Better mpg (but not a ton - I'd likely see 2-4 mpg improvement) More Torque (but difference is minimal with tuned S/C) Improved Range (thanks...

It's been fun checking your build too. Thanks for checking out our videos. I never thought I'd buy an OX locker. Cable actuated is a nice concept but poor execution. I've run ARB, Elockers, Lunchbox, LSD, Spool... This newer design to run the OX on AIR is brilliant. Of course, you need...

www.XTcamper.com - Project is getting close!! Still waiting on Deaver Springs and Fox Rear Shocks...

I agree. Realistically rock crawling is high risk recreation. I'd hate to roll, damage, dent a pristine original truck. And I'm fairly certain an insurance company would total any vehicle after cutting off all the suspension, steering, etc... if reported. My wife was an Insurance claims...

Engine is on stock mounts. Not modified. The 3RZ does appear a bit slanted due to the strange valve cover design shape...

I don't know the details on the salvage title. I've been through the truck and haven't seen anything troubling. Cab is original correct VIN plates. Both doors are original with VIN stickers (they seal well / operate properly). Both fenders were original (but I replaced the driver side fender...

For those (like me) who enjoy details: Detailed Specs: Frame Height: 26.5" Cab Height: 6'6" (fits in any garage) Canopy Height: 7'2" (need 8ft garage to fit) Body Width: 67" (skinny kid - Jeep JL / 3rd Gen Tacoma are 75") Wheelbase: 126" Front Axle Clearance: 11" (lowest point) Rear Axle...

The Gray Tank holds the water from the sink and shower. This is typically not that dirty especially if you screen what goes down the drain and use biodegradable soaps. There are a couple issues with carrying around your gray tank water. The first is the weight and second is disposing of...

Thanks for sharing information! Will keep the contact info should more power be needed. So far... 240 amps seems to be more than enough. We are running a 50amp DC to DC charger off the truck alternator to charge the camper. It rocks! Easily pulls 50 amps at idle. Great for getting the batteries...

After endless searching and call... I found that most of the custom tank builders are in the boating industry (many located in Florida). I had John @ SpeedyTanks.com build the tank. Here's the drawing I sent them...Tank Drawing They built it perfectly to the specs. I've been just using the...

Good information. How is your fuel mileage? They gear these trucks for mpg (low revs) for sure.

How to fit 37s under a 2020 Ford F250 and ensure no rubbing?? This method can be used for any off road vehicle when fitting larger than stock size tires (assuming you have coil or coilover suspension). Steps: 1. Remove the coil springs. 2. Jack up the axle / control arm to fully...
