Hey guys,
Starting the build w/ some electrical. I have a 2021 F-150 w/ the onboard 2000W onboard "generator". I like it in concept, and when I'm driving, but I don't like that I have to have the truck running to use it. I have two 72V42ah LiPo batteries on hand that I'm thinking of equipping...
Just took a look at their website -- thinking it should fit no problem. Can you share some photos/videos of the interior? Very curious about the panels and how they work.
I ended up switching to 275/70r18 Toyo Open country III. I think a true 33.5" would fit, but in my opinion having a little more room to account for mud and snow buildup is key — hence going down to a true 32.5".
I hated to ridge grapplers for the week I had them. Not sure what all the fuss is...
Yes, I would say so. The 34s I took off weren't rubbing horribly, just right before maxed in reverse and when compressing. Now there's ample room with these smaller tires ... the closest parts they get to are the rear body trim (firewall too) and crash bars.
On these 275/70r18 Open Country...
The dealership's shop boys were convinced true 34" (metric 285/75r18) would fit w/ mild offset. 2021 now has wider axles (and I think the crashbars are different too), so this wasn't the case w/o modding. So yeah, Raptor takeoffs should have fit pre-2021 w/ the lift I put on. I could have pulled...
Super happy with my decision. Tested out the new setup on Hancock Pass, CO. Definitely wanted 34", but these 275/70r18s felt fine, despite the crazy neverending rocks. Ran them at 22psi, and only engaged the locker once. Also felt crazy comfortable at speed on washboards too.
Thanks! Yeah, ordered the aluminum RCI -- full set. My thoughts on this build is to go as light as possible. With the 3.5cb, my thought I'd to keep those turbos from spinning up as much as possible (maximize mpg) — after all 90% of my driving is on pavement, so mpg is important to me.
In...

Super simple cam straps pulled against a cross bar. Pretty secure, but not perfect. I've never had them fall and if you mount them with the cam up, you can pull them tight easier. Tucks in out of the way, and I have a...
Okay, I've made my decision: I'm downsizing to a 275/70r18 in the Toyo Open Country AT III, which I've had in the past and loved. I looked for a 285/70r18, but couldn't find anything in stock, and my only options were MTs. I also considered going w/ a 17" wheel and going with an Raptor...
