As far as lightweight backpacking tents, they have made massive strives in just the past decade in fabrics alone. Tubs, walls, even screens… they are tougher, lighter, and tighter packing. Getting older, I really appreciate the HV (high volume) versions of tents BigAgnes is producing. The HV...

And there is a big difference between broad industry comments and calling out specifics with regard to individuals and/or businesses. As much as a relationship gone sour stings, Im sure there is nothing Victorian/TC want LESS than to air out their laundry on a public forum.

Might want to reread the original post before your argue just to argue. OP has just 1/2” of clearance between top of cab and underside of cabover. Again, that is too close.

Oh for sure. But regardless of industry, if you are looking to maintain and keep up with the latest and greatest market trends, despicable behavior is to be expected from any so-called "friends" Expect controversy. Be surprised and elated if everything is smooth sailing :LOL:

Indeed. 😆

All this chatter makes this used 6.2 owner happy. That tens of thousands I saved over a new 7.3 will buy a LOT of gas :LOL: Whats a new 7.3 going for these days? 50k? 60k? More?? For what its worth, I picked up our (used) 2011 6.2 6-speed Superduty with less than 120k on it for just $16k...

I avoid adaptors if I can get away with it. For the cost of hubs, its an easy sell for me to simply swap hubs over to the desired lug pattern. If buying used, its advised you do the bearings anyhow. And even more.... if buying used and you want to add brakes.... again, simple sell. The parts...

So long as you stick to a proper axle... being 5-lug and at least 15" wheels, the only thing limiting you to any speed will be local laws. There are only a handful of states that limit trailer towing anymore...

The big ARB modular is a fantastic bumper. (y)

:cool:

Sincerest form of flattery, right? :LOL:

Also a bit of exhaust work this morning. At some point the cats were punched out at some point, and wasnt interested in any of the no-name aftermarket "direct fit" units. So I opted for a proper Magnaflow universal. With some work, it fit great. Fit well enough that one of the factory heat...

Busy work mostly now.... Fresh radiator in, and since the PO ditched all of the mechanical fan hardware, and I prefer electric anyhow... Proper 16" Flex-A-Lite with a simple custom aluminum shroud. Will be controlled by a 200/185 degree coolant switch. The Superduty takes a Group65...

Looks are far from everything. Nor are springs. Leafs on domestic 3/4 and 1-tons are 3" wide BTW Start comparing actual axle ratings if you want some relevance.

And it looks like all of the 2" receiver extensions, up to 18" long are rated to 350# of tongue weight and 3500lbs of tow https://www.curtmfg.com/towing-accessories/ball-mounts/adapters-extenders/extenders

According to Curt, anything under 12" long reduces capacity by roughly 25% https://www.curtmfg.com/hitch-extender-guide#:~:text=As%20a%20general%20rule%2C%20the,reduce%20load%20capacity%20by%2050%25.

Quoted for effect True on so many levels. And exactly why we essentially never travel/wheel with others beyond our (VERY) close circle of friends/family.

Looking at your most recent photos, you are already engaging the factory overload pack. If you like the ride height and handling currently, Id leave it as is. If not, Id invest in a proper leaf pack designed for the weight you are sitting at loaded/wet. (y)

I would avoid utilizing the aluminum tray for any grounds. Likely a large ground to frame to a ground buss or breaker/fuse panel in the camper. I would still suggest grounding the tray to the chassis. But that might be a question best directed to the MFG of the tray itself.

No bother. He's simply too ignorant at this point to realize we agree on more things than we disagree :ROFLMAO:
