Since 2020 and the 9 speed the rear axle ratio has been 3.69. ADO is having m205 gearsets made in 3.69 so they can Titan swap their 2022 Pro4x shop truck. I'm assuming the 9 speed has more normal gear ratios, and they can run more standard final drive ratios now. So someone might need to make...

Thanks!

The inside bike front wheel basket blocks the barn door from opening. It sits about 1/2" too high. So I had to remove it. I could probably have just cut it down. But since the rack wasn't holding my bike well and was damaging the bike I just returned it. For what it's worth, the 1upUSA rack at...

Did another 2 week trip at the end of August. Around SW Montana and SE Idaho area, with a couple days in Yellowstone. Saw my first Ovrlnd camper in the wild on a cool OBS F350 CC 8ft bed. My Sherpa 4x4 big air compressor has been acting up, head bolts come loose even with red Loctite on them...

Been a long while with no updates here, but I figured I'd at least put down some notes on where the build is at and where it's going. The camper now has an electrical panel mounted, battery is installed on the floor in the front passenger side of the bed, and the fridge is installed in the rear...

I'm going to also go anti TS. The benefit is an extra inch of lift and 2-3" inches of travel. Worth it for rock crawling or fitting 35" tires, but not anything else. Downsides are numerous as other have pointed out, mitigating them will get expensive fast(regears, fiberglass fenders, diff...

Frontier auto's have non typical gear ratios, so the final gear ratio is different too. The V6 4x4 autos come with 3.36 and I believe the manuals are 3.69. The 3.36 in a Frontier is equivalent to a 3.69 or so in a typical vehicle. This Club Frontier post is a good place to start...

Stick with the 12-19, you avoid the early issues with SMOD killing automatic transmissions. The engine/transmission changed in 2020, so it's really an unknown for reliability. Fuel economy and limited aftermarket support are the only real downsides IMO. Fuel economy ranges from 9-10 city at...

For a portable I generally recommend from cheapest to most expensive option: Viair 088p, Viair 300p, Smittybilt 2781 or any of the other branded models of the "5.65cfm" compressor, Viair 400p Automatic, Smittybilt or homebuilt co2 tank if you have access to a cheap place to fill the tank. There...

If it's not this one it's very similar.

Progress was very slow last week, 95-101°F Tue-Thur and 90°F on Monday kicked my butt while doing the backup/reverse camera install. My shade tree is on the north side of my truck, doesn't provide much shade for this ginger shade tree mechanic. Camera works great as a rearview mirror, okay as a...

Been working on getting everything together I need to start this camper buildout. Starting Monday I'm going to start with backup camera install then insulating the truck bed and putting plywood down as a base to built off of. Then I can move the fridge/aux electrical system to the bed and...

Fairly well, they custom build the lower half of the barn doors when you get the install done, so they fit very tight. There is a small gap where my backup cam wiring went through the bed that I need to plug, and some other small gaps at the top of the tailgate area where there is nothing for...

Haven't had wifi till last night so been trying to save data for important things like looking up breweries along my route and Spotify. Slept in it 9 nights in a row now, need to get on the build out asap so I can get some organization going. Lots of shuffling stuff around at the moment. Camper...

I'm actually in Lewiston. Aren't you guys all in 4x4 sprinters down there? I think half the OVRLND campers have gone to the PNW. I found out yesterday a friend in Bellingham has a coworker with one.

Yeah, I drove through some tight trees today, had to fold my tow mirror on one side. ******** turn radius doesn't help, not the bike rack on the back. Camper was 6" from hitting as I swayed a bit over ruts/roots, even through the mirror was 8-10" away and tires 12"+. My full size dodge wouldn't have...

Vertical side walls, full barn doors, and taller cabover option. The camper is 60"+ wide instead of 48" like pretty much every other midsized option. Some full size ones are 54". I prefer barn doors to a hatch. And the taller cabover (10") allows thicker bedding. Wedges don't give you usable...

Had the camper installed today, took about 7 hours because they custom build/fit the lower section of the barn doors day of. Otherwise it's a much shorter install you can probably do yourself. Started getting my rearview camera install going this afternoon, will finish it tomorrow. Will wire up...

I feel like air bags are best for widely varying loads. Being so adjustable. But a leaf pack for a typical load with many thin leafs are best, as long as the load doesn't vary much.(think Old Man Emu or ADO performance leaf pack) The BrOverlanders are a decent value compromise, as they have an...
