    2007 Silverado - Buy Once, Cry Once: 1-tons, 40's & a Custom Camper

    I’m still in that stage where I’m too young to think I’ll hurt myself, but too old to be doing the stupid ******** (bench pressing heavy parts into place) I do. Hopefully I don’t learn tbe hard way. lol This is an amazing build!

    Anyone disconnect their front sway bar?

    It takes 15 minutes tops to remove it, or even less to just disconnect it. Do that, and drive it around as is for a week or two and see what you think.

    Anyone disconnect their front sway bar?

    I’m running a 22’ F250 with camper and 2.5” Carli lift. I’m expecting to come in within 100-200 lbs of tacollie. I haven’t weighed it in 8-9 months, and have done a couple other mods since. I much prefer it without the sway bar on road and off.

    Power Wagon as a family Exploration Vehicle

    I’ve got a WiFi “backup” camera mounted to my front bumper. I just connect it to my dash mounted IPad when I need to see forward. The best part is I can adjust the camera angle easily to best suit my needs at that time.

    I took this one last night after getting her cleaned up before heading out this morning!

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I’ve done the same. I kept my 2.0s for rebuild time as well. I’ll just throw them in with no alignment. I did the same when adding the 2.5s, and checked the alignment myself afterwards. No issues. I don’t see why there would be.

    Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices

    Unfortunately this is par for the course with DBL Designs. A little research would’ve shown this work is to be expected from them, and it’s not an isolated incident.

    It was found, and he immediately used it to purchase his Lone Peak. Pretty awesome!

    They were a lot easier to find a few years ago than they are now.

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    17-19’ a F250 was maxed out at 10K GVWR. You couldn’t option then any higher. Now you can get short bed 250s with a 11,100 GVWR and long bed 250s with a 11,300 GVWR. My 17’ 350 long bed was optioned as high GVWR as it could get at the time, which was 11,500. Barely 3300 lbs payload. I regularly...

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    Lots of them are starting to finally. Still a lot that don’t, but it’s a step in the right direction.

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    The problem with the Supercab short box is the tiny fuel tank. Even if I could live with the small cab and bed I wouldn’t solely because of the fuel tank.

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    You won’t. I search nationwide regularly looking for trucks that may fit our fleet needs. A crew cab 6.5’ bed 4wd F150 with 2000+ payload would be perfect. Good luck finding one though. I’d even take a 5.5’ bed version. I can regularly find them in the 1700-1950 pb range though.

    Lone Peak Overland

    Last weekend I ran up to NM to leave my truck with a fabricator, and we spent the night camping in the Lincoln NF the night before. Made for a good quick trip!

    Having some work done on my truck this week in NM, so took the opportunity to camp in the Lincoln National Forest last night before dropping my truck off this AM. Went to bed at 11pm at 45* and dry. Woke up to 25* and not so dry.

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    That’s definitely not the fix. Larger turbos would take longer to spool, which would cause even more lag. A tune would be the most significant improvement, but a throttle controller would be pretty effective as well. The throttle controller wouldn’t effect warranty, but would make it respond...

    Balancing Payload capacity vs. Offroad

    I stopped and looked at a couple Tremors and few other XL and XLT F150s today out of boredom when killing 30 minutes. Payload ranged from 1640 to 1980. Surprisingly the XLs had the lowest payload, but they were also optioned as 6450 GVWR trucks instead of the 7100 GVWR the Tremors and XLTs were...

    Lone Peak Overland

    Correct. I left my bed mostly open, and have an inflatable mattress my boys share. They’re still young, so it’s pretty easy as it is. However I’m going to have to rethink it as they age. I think I’ve gotten it figured out, but proof of concept is still yet to be seen.

    F350 Tremor/ Supertramp “TRAMPER’s” build thread.

    The tires have been fantastic performance wise for me. My only hold up on them is they’re wearing pretty quickly for me. I’m right at 22K miles on them so far, and I don’t expect to make it much past 30K. I do pull tires earlier than most though. Nothing worse than having a capable truck turned...
