Oh man - the torture continues. Look what Marc just sent to me: The guys over at XPCamper have been really great, I must have see-sawed back and forth on details with Marc a billion times - the dude's been unnaturally patient with me. One small detail, but it meant a lot to me was how high...

Thanks! Jealous of the size of your... garage. That thing is awesome.

We're getting closer to completion on the flatbed. Marc at XPCamper decided to prolong my agony by sending me some photos of the progress so far. This is the forward box that will be between the cab of the truck and the rear wheel. Nice and large, I'm already making lists of the things that...

Thanks for the info! Yes - the thing is pretty stiff unloaded. I know that's the payoff for having the extra cargo capacity so I'm okay with it. The only other Ford I had was a diesel 4x4 (2003 7.3L engine) - I remember the front end steering being kinda loosey-goosey after a couple of Baja...

Here's the truck we're building the flatbed on: This thing rides like a brick. I'm adding Ride-Rite airbags to it as well as Day Star cups. I had the same airbags on my Tundra with the Callen camper and I liked them. I probably put 10-12k Baja miles on those airbags and they held up pretty...

Had an '07 4x4 Tundra with a Callen Camper that served me well for 11 years worth of deep Baja rambling. That truck never let me down but after camping next to a guy with a Four Wheel Camper over Thanksgiving Week I saw what the next chapter was going to be for me. So I donated my truck to my...

Great, now my Pops is here. Jeez, is anything sacred anymore?

Just a friendly reminder... I've got a used one for sale in San Diego. $2000 for an 8' bed - no longer with ARB Awning. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/188039-Callen-Camper-for-8-bed-with-ARB-Awning-Galvanized-walk-on-rack-2000

Wow. That's a steal. I'm putting together my own flatbed Hawk on a brand new truck with 1/2 the options you list and a gas motor and I can tell you... that's a steal. Would love to see photos of your rig - megacab with stretched out bed to fit the grandby? Unreal.

Camper is still for sale - but now you're going to have deal with my Pops if you want it (I gave him the truck and camper - picked up a 2017 F350 4x4 Reg Cab and will be putting a flatbed and FWC Hawk on it but that's another story). ARB awning is no longer included...

Jeez! How do you change a tire on that beast?

WangosTango - your truck is stupidly cool. I'd probably be the guy who corners you at the gas pump with a million questions - that thing is just sick. I saw that you were thinking about doing airbags - I have some coming right now that I'm going to install but I'm also thinking that I'll go do...

Can't wait to see it - I like the idea of the extra outside storage that using something like a utility box would provide - it's all about storage, I don't want anything lying around loose inside the camper or in the truck with me. Let's make a deal, you post pics of yours - and I'll post pics...

You are a wildman! I known your rig, I've been in your rig... that thing's awesome but it would scare the crap out of me driving down into Agua Verde in it. I can't believe you went for that road - did you run into anybody on the way down and have to back up to let them by? BTW: I was down at...

Wow! That is an awesomely cool looking rig - let's see some more pics... I'm drooling.

Cool we'll have to stay in touch. I decided on the gasser because I had a brand new '03 7.3 diesel before and I had reliability issues with it (had to drive a brand new truck with spare parts in the glove box - CPS and a 10mm wrench - something wrong right there). I went to an '07 Tundra and...

Hey Diggitydog, I just bought a very similar truck! 2017 Reg. Cab F350 FX4, locking diff., 17" aluminum rims, XL (love not having the carpet inside), 6.2L gas engine. I've ALWAYS wanted a regular cab, full size 4x4 truck - this one was almost impossible to locate in southern California - but...

Man that Hawk looks awesome on your truck! Post up some more pictures - how killer is that pullout trundle drawer off the back? What are you guys doing for steps to get into your camper? Did you get solar added or are you having AT guys do it?

Replied to your email with measurement photos - let me know if you need more of them.

Nice rig - a little bit of a run for me since I'm here in San Diego though. I just pulled the trigger on a flatbed to be built by Marc over at XPCamper - should be sweet with aluminum storage boxes below and above (in front of the camper - I have a longbed and will be putting a 6.5' long Hawk on...
