Clearly you’re not who he was referring to and you know that.

What is the intention or expectation behind an IFS on that truck?

Is that a serious question?

New drivetrain about to go in. NV4500 and NP263

I placed the camper on the new subframe. Like I thought I’ll be adding 4” in height to the subframe by placing some 4”x4” tubing under it and between the truck frame. This will also give me space for a slide out folding staircase.

Pretty much how I feel too. Too many variable to narrow down a spring that would work for everyone.

Just that they offered more than enough travel than I thought I would need and a spring rate that I thought would be good. The way I built the mounts, I could shorten the shaft that they bolt to and allow more preload or shim it for less. I also remember there being several other rates available...

When I lived in Cali I knew several people who drove cars that would not pass Cali smog so they registered them in other states. Often times police will keep track of out of state plates that they see. So you only get to use the "just visiting" excuse once. I have seen this end up in court with...

96485K386 I used these from McMaster with plans to use a higher rate if needed.

Yeah I agree. Maybe source a 12v gear motor to adapt and ditch the gearbox that's on it.

If you can't find the right part, you could probably dissect a stock wheel for the hub and fabricate a plate on to it that would accept a common quick release.

Agreed again. EGR works for what it was intended to do but it cause long term issues. Most new stuff does not use EGR, gas anyway

agreed on material thickness

Should be easy. I don't know about the computers in those trucks but it might cause it to set a code. Block off plates are simple to fab. If you need some made I can do that for you if they aren't available already.

Wouldn't you be modifying the body and not the frame? I'm not sure using an existing trailer door will save any money especially if someone else does it. It might just provide hurdles to make it work where a from scratch approach would fit the body as needed. I would consider a winch for...

Just use the 12v fan that the truck already has. Maybe use an on board charger or inverter for 12v power. Are you sure the block heater makes enough heat to also heat the entire cab?

My NPR is not at all stock in the suspension department or any other department for that matter but the steering is still heavy at low speeds, off road, like you describe. I haven't done it yet but I will probably add a hydraulic assist ram as is common in the off road world. Not Full hydraulic...

No doubt but that doesn’t prevent misuse or over use. I’m talking about lights everywhere on a truck that never moves after dark or enough lights in camp that anyone nearby could read a book.

Any more info on the OTR option? I don’t see wheels on their site. Do they have other size hoops?

Progress on the cab. All painted, new windshield which was surprisingly cheap, new floor mats, etc... I'm going to pack the B pillars and the rib across the back of the cab with foam too. The headliner is getting covered in some sort of felt for softness and noise reduction and there will be...
