Nitto RIdge Grappler is only 2 ply tires(EDIT: Sidewall), so something to be aware of. Most heavy duty tires for 17" do not come with a very high load range except the 37x13x17 Toyo Mt rated at 4300lbs at 65 psi I imagine if you wanted to go through with it you could probably sell your 17's...

It seems like prices of the Outbound windows have gone up quite a lot. I was initially leaning toward these windows and was willing to pay even a few thousand more dollars to get them but it looks like the price is just too high to make any sense. I don't know if it's related to the tariffs or...

I didn't realize the gas cab and chassis is derated. It hasn't been a problem for me but I have a diesel cab and chassis, the power and torque seem fine to me, and I am coming from a tuned 12 valve cummins.

Yes I have a cab chassis Ram and it has a captive spring mounted flatbed on it, currently planning a Total Composites box for it. You can see some pictures of it on the Instagram account from the builder @mountainguildoverland

So such thing as "bulletproof" it's still a 6.0 Not a wise decision, especially from a money perspective.

I think you are going to be quite a bit over 19' total length

One issue I see with ER and the one that broke down in Costa Rica is the fact that the Ford f 550 is designed with dual rear tires. Having the singles in the back spaced far outside axle might possibly contribute to extra wear and tear on the rear axle and associated components.

Is that with the camper on? If so, that's fantastic mileage. I get 13 mpg with my set up chassis cab 4.10 gears 37's occasionally 14 mpg

View count, likes, comments, etc is revenue stream on Youtube no? I would be curious to know how much you make off of Youtube. I am not necessarily saying it's bad thing, everyone has to make a buck somehow.

Remember people, don't forget to 'like' 'subscribe' and 'comment down below'.

Pretty much all of Mexico sells ULSD so I don't see the problem there. The emissions equipment at least on the newer 6.7 cummins engine is pretty reliable. I will add I also am not impressed with four wheel campers.

I vote just running it straight into your grey tank.

Just from the looks it looks about the same as the mpt81, but narrower than the Goodyear GSM's. One issue with the Pirelli you might consider is that since they are not sold in the USA I believe most of the date codes I have seen are around 2011 or 12. Most commercial tires are required to be...

You will have go find the thread your buddy is talking about. Everything I have heard is that the 5500 actually flexes more due to the fact that it is an open C channel design vs a boxed frame like on the regular pick ups. If you don't plan to go off road much you might be able to get buy...

Any idea when the Euro doors will be back in stock? I looked at the Aussi door that you are now carrying, is this door insulated?

I am not really sure what you can do with the rear, the hard and stiff ride is the result of 19,000 lb GVWR of the 5500. If you change that, it kind of defeats the purpose of having a 5500 in the first place. I am sure Kelderman is probably better as far as ride comfort goes, but how much...

Also: With a V8 you have another extra cylinder head. There is a reason most big rigs are an inline 6 cylinder design and all Cummins does is build engines. If you are coming from a gas motor and thats your experience you might like the Ford V8 diesel since it runs at a much higher RPMs than...

Major differences: Ford 8 cylinder V8 motor design vs Cummins straight 6 cylinder (that's two more pistons and two more injectors to worry about, also less fuel efficient) Most big tractor motors are a straight 6. Also straight 6 provides more low end grunt HP. Major engine work on the Ford...

No links because I am lazy but I believe Andreas from TotalComposites recommends using adhesives to attach things like cabinets and such.
