All done. Now time to build the swing outs.

I've been working on the rear bumper before I tear into the transmission. I could have used new steel, but since I'm a boat captain, I wanted to use scraped steel that used to be boats. I welded the shackle mounts with the welder on full blast. Talk about hot!

Stopped by UJOR to pick some stuff up. Always good to see the gang. Thanks again!

It probably has a lot to do with the VW scam from a few years back.

That’s a pretty nice setup.

Cool video!

Mostly Bolivar is where I’ll be going. When you go over High Island bridge, and the road turns right, there’s a pull off where you can go miles down the beach and it’s empty. I’m sure you know where I’m talking about.

I have a lunchbox locker. STILL haven’t finished 4WD. Plan on finishing when I get off the boat this time. I wanted to try out some beaches in Texas when I go back down south.

Please make sure you fill it with water and check for leaks before installing it and adding fuel. I did that and had a pin hole leak. So I had to drop it and do it again. Also this is a great time to do the hutch / harpoon mod while the tank it out.

Wow. Thanks for the replies.

What psi should a run with a 7.3 van with 33’s in the sand? BFG KO2’s. Do you keep it in 4wd and lockers locked? Thanks!

Cab noise is pretty loud. Other than that, I’d like a little more room. But no biggie. Other than the noise, it’s a perfect rig. Even tho it’s high mileage, still runs like a dream.

Super singles are definitely a must. I would like more room and be able to stand up. Ideally I would like a 12ft SRW box truck. But I would also like a stand box camper like a slide in camper, that way I have a truck to use.

My current setup.

I’m basically being given a 2003 F-350 dually. No engine, has transmission. And no bed. It had a 7.3 PSD and its a 4x4 crew cab. I have a 7.3 van now. I’m not afraid of finding a cheap 7.3 and rebuilding the motor and putting it in the truck. Here’s what I’m thinking. Make it a SRW, build...

Where at? I'm from Louisiana. I saw your rig when it was at UJOR. I love it.

I can't reply to every post, but thanks for enjoying my trip, and the tips!! First I wanna say, we did about 7k miles. Some long 12-14 hour days driving. In Colorado, my battery light came on. Thought I was gonna have to change the alternator, turns out it was just cold. A day later it went...

Trip so far:

Got it from a junkyard. No idea. We found it. Had a big ol moose hanging out. Betty Sue approves of the Grand Tetons. Camping out next to us: Stayed at a cool place in Fort Collins. Got to charge the batteries. Rocky Moutain NP. Stopped by Coors in Golden. This cool dude was...

Thanks. I’ll look for them. That’s what we’re looking for is something like that.
