    Install: ARB Twin Compressor for 4th Gen Rams

    Very nice write up! I saw the ARB folks at Expo East and they had a similar set up in a Super Duty. I will be trying to copy that setup when I get to it. One question...are you going to install an air tank or have a port for filling your tires?

    Ford or Ram?

    I guess for every person you ask you'll get a different opinion so I guess I'll add my $0.02 cents! I am a Ford guy and you can see in my signature what I just bought. A couple of random thoughts... 1. If you're only driving 13 miles each way every day I'm not sure a diesel is your best choice...

    Outer Banks and Portsmouth Island

    The campground in Frisco is indeed part of the NP. The sites for the most part are nicely secluded and this time of year the bugs shouldn't bee bad. You'll have a short walk over the dunes to the beach which will be gloriously deserted for the most part. Fishing on the beach should be pretty...

    I recently bought a new truck and the Torklift tie downs I purchased in May to go with my new Hallmark camper will not work on my new truck... The ones I have for sale are F2011 for the front and F3004 for the rear. The rear set up is designed to fit into the factory hitch mount. These were on...

    Size matter? Western Washington Worry

    I have a CC LWB diesel F-350 to haul my Hallmark pop up camper. For us it is just the right size for the extended trips we have planned. Interestingly we just came back from Expo East and the range of sizes of the various rigs was amazing. Everything from taco's up to tandem rigs that must...

    A Hawk in the Arctic

    As a builder of extremely energy effecient homes the concept of thermal bridging is one that I am intimately familiar with and frankly one of the reasons I did not purchase a FWC since I live in VA. On of the products we use particularly when we are doing a remodel and space considerations are...

    Death Valley Overland Trip Report - Complete

    Thanks for bringing back great memories! We flew into Vegas and rented a SUV and did most of the trails you mentioned back in February. It is a truly amazing place and we are planing on going back to see what we missed the first time.

    Overland Expo East '16 : Group Gear Swap (Asheville, NC)

    Great idea..... I just bought a 5 step version of the Step Up steps as I needed a little more height than the dealer thought I would need so I am selling my virtually brand new ( purchased in May) Step Up model 17S-44 folding steps. These are great steps if, according to the website your...

    A Hawk in the Arctic

    As a builder of energy effecient homes I did not like the aluminum siding and frames found in FWC. This kind of construction results in extreme thermal bridging which (among other things) results in a lot of condensation when the conditions are right. Sine we live in the warm and humid south we...

    So I'm looking at the '17 F-350's...

    And one of the things that jumped out at me is that with the CC LWB trucks it comes standard with a 48 gallon fuel tank. Can you say range! WOW!

    2018 F150 with Diesel engine spotted testing

    The day of diesels are not over. Ram has doubled the production of their Ecodiesel due to the demand. I think Ford was trying to push the public into the ecoboost but have finally realized they better get into the game or loose market share... BTW I have a Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel and I will put...

    I'm not necessarily advocating this but here's proof that the right ammo and shot placement can go a long way... https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2016/8/10/alaska-outfitter-defends-fishermen-from-raging-grizzly-with-9mm-pistol/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=insider&utm_campaign=0816
