    Excursion vs. (???) for family expeditions?

    Given what your considering, I'd keep the 350 and just put a topper on it. Maybe invest in some progressive springs and better shocks. Would make the ride much comfier and you'd have plenty of cargo room with the topper. Excursion is going to be just about as big so I don't see the reason to...

    Nice. The living space is definitely nice. Plenty of room to hang out.

    they are 9" wide and -12mm offset Thanks! Close, it's a rockwood 23ikss. Has a center island and dual slide outs. We purchased it pretty much for what you said. For 20 foot box you get the interior room of a 30' box. lol thanks ;)

    Thanks...and couldn't agree more! Funny thing is the wife and I were joking about how our idea of a good time has changed over the years. 10 years ago I'd have been bartending at the bar I worked at while she danced with her friends.

    So not your typical "overland" trip but went with the family for some boondock camping for new years weekend off the 395. Found a nice spot along a river to setup the travel trailer. Son had blast throwing rocks and chunks of ice on frozen lakes. First time towing with the Icon kit and it was...

    2017 F-250 Overland/Hunt-Rig build

    Truck looks great! Tough call on which way to go for the bed. I went with a softpopper for mine. Main reason I wanted something easily removable...I pulled it off in 2 minutes after the last trip. Given the choice between hard shell and Leitner - I'd go hard shell. Can sleep in the bed, lockable...

    I have been running Falkens for several years on my Raptor and I love em. I have yet to get a flat and that truck sees about 7000 offroad miles a year. This is my first 2500 but the Raptor is a heavy truck at 6400 curb weight and likely topping 7500 on most offroad trips so I expect the Falkens...

    That's interesting - do you know what he did to solve the fuel issue?

    That’s what I’m likely going to go with if I go aftermarket. I’m content with stock for now. But I do want to get rid of all the chrome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nice! Should look mean with the bumper and winch. I can get you a good deal for icon through our sponsorship. Just shoot me a dm for more info if you end up wanting to go that route. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2017 F150 Exploration/Tow Build

    Truck looks great. Mud is by far the most dangerous trail condition there is IMO. As you experienced, it's almost impossible to control the vehicle in a slick section. On one of our trips in Utah last year we had one of the prerunners slide off the trail into a ditch. He stopped about 2 feet...

    I'd say the Raptor ones are stronger but the GoRhino are plenty strong. I weigh about 280 lbs and there's no flex in them. Thanks...that's great to hear. I think you'll be very happy with the icon kit. Mpg wise I'm getting about 14.5 combined. I've got a lot of hills where I live as well...

    Right on, it's something I saw a guy do a few years ago on some guys truck and stuck with me. I still need to get a full size spare. I normally wouldn't go out without one but the stock tire size is 34" which I figured is big enough to limp home on. I've been running Falkens for a while now on...

    Thanks for all the kind words fellas! They are huge trucks...that is for sure lol. Here's a quick video I posted on IG. You can see how I use it to secure cargo. haha me too! Seemed like forever waiting for parts. I went softopper because I didn't want the side windows. The either...

    Thanks! Same here and why I had to get one. Yeah, I'm going to have to add some flairs at some point. Same here and thank you. Thank you...yeah I'm going to have to add those at some point. I know they tires will kick up debris. Nice...congrats on the pickup. The truck runs great with...

    Thanks! I've always heard great things about Carli. I've been running Icon on my Raptor for 4 years now and have always loved the kit so I figured why not go with them for the 250. They are sponsor EXO which I co-own so I get a really good deal on their stuff. I can get you setup with a really...

    Yes, I have a problem...I'm the first to admit I'm a car/truck addict. I think it stems from growing up poor and being piled into a tiny Toyota Tercel with my 2 brothers and parents with no radio, and ac. Anyhow, I purchased a 2017 F250 with the intention of setting it up as a chase, tow, and...
