What size tires are you running? What difference did you notice in the performance/mpg? I like the 4.30 gears for many reasons (cost being a major one). They are also thicker/stronger than the lower ratios. Plus they are factory which is cool. Can easily drop it a gear as needed. My...

Nice truck! We essentially ordered the same truck (as 2019). But apparently the 2020 got the Sync 3 system which has the big screen. It also has some crazy stuff like ability to start / unlock the truck via the phone. It makes me laugh because this is nearly the CHEAPEST XL version of the...

Plugging in to shore power is the absolute WORSE THING!!! Seriously, if you enjoy being off grid and escaping to remote areas... Generators suck! They are noisy, heavy and take fuel. So... How do you do it?? Simple. Turn your truck into a GENERATOR! There are several methods to do this. One is...

Possibly. It would need to be clean... Otherwise, will clog filters quick! Mostly the ability to fill from collapsible containers from various sources. Especially when we are in Baja.

Thanks! Further water system changes will be after summer travels... Will be replacing the 20 gallon water tank with a 30+ gallon tank. We are using a 2 stage filter for filling (Sediment + .5 micron carbon); will be installing 2 stage ceramic filter + UV filter before the faucet.

Thanks for sharing your concern. What trucks have you seen the spare tire winch fail on? I've heard people reposting this all over... but yet to see one fail. The weight difference between the stock steel wheel and ko2 on alloy isn't enough to cause concern (at least for me). It would be...

Here's the camper build: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2020-northstar-liberty-expedition-truck-camper-build.216281/

Just finished the electrical! Long day yesterday/today. Exciting to wrap up the other projects and get out traveling.

Makes sense. Realistically, I'll try to keep the paint maintained but it will be used off road which means scratches. I've been impressed with the Super Duty paint durability (especially white) way way better than Toyota. F250/F350 is a really solid platform and some great options available...

Thanks for taking the time to offer the suggestion. For me... I come from the 4WD world of primarily owning/building Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu. The domestic full size world is much different. I guess I don't fit in! This is the cheapest F250 XL. Vinyl seats, vinyl flooring, no chrome, no...

You have a good eye for detail. With a level against the fender the tire tread is 1/4" outside the fender. So somewhat of an illusion with the lift and somewhat aggressive tread. Thanks for your thoughts!

Not a fan of wheel/fender flares. They increase the vehicle width and have a tenancy of getting damaged/ripped off on narrow trails. The tires are within the fenders so it shouldn't attract too much attention. Hopefully. :)

It's the exact same as most trucks with the 3.73 gears and stock tires. The ratio difference is ~14% and the tire size is ~14% larger than stock. That's why we ordered the truck with the 4.30s! Can run 37s with the proper gear ratio.

Will take a look. Caster is within spec currently 2.6 degree shim. I wanted to push the stock radius arms before replacing them. They seem to be rather solid build quality....

There are a bunch of people that lift these Ford Super Duty trucks. Mostly it’s for looks and rarely do owners consider installing a proper size spare tire. This really isn’t a huge issue when driving on the road or in town. Realistically, you can just call for a tow truck and not worry...

Making a truck camper functional off grid requires POWER! We love SOLAR as it is renewable and silent. But getting a functional solar setup means you need A LOT of solar. Here’s the parts we used: Renogy 160W Flexible Solar Panels (check out their newest 175W panels). Best warranty...

Will 37" tires fit on a stock 2020 F250 Truck? NOPE!! Well... actually they fit in the rear. They could fit in the front with enough cutting and trimming. Fitting 35" or larger tires requires aftermarket wheels or wheel spacers. With stock wheels your tires will rub on the sway bar and...

We took our brand new 2020 Ford F250 with only 200 miles and ripped it apart! We had ordered all the parts before picking up the truck from the dealer. We began work on day 2 of ownership! The build included: Warn Front Bumper Smittybilt x2o 12k Winch w/ Thimble Rough Country 40” Curved LED...

Introducing our brand new 2020 Ford F250 XL 4x4 Super Cab that we named "DONKI" our noble steed! This truck replaces our 2019 F250 XL Crew Cab 4x4 truck that we purchased in December 2019. It is extremely similar but shorter! It has the 148" wheelbase vs the 160" wheelbase and the total...

We begin the demo and prep for our camper build. The goal with this camper is to be able to remain off grid for up to 2 weeks at a time while traveling / exploring remote areas. In order to accomplish this we need to address the electrical, water and storage systems. This video is an...
