And if you go narrow / tall like 235/85R the Gen 3 handles on road like crap. Ben there / done that - won't repeat.

This ^^^^^.... unless you are underwater and unable to pay the difference.

OME lift is 1.5". Best tire size even lifted is 265/75R16 or 17 on stock wheels. 285/75R16 (BFG KO2 32.8" x 11.2") on stock wheels and OME lift will rub slightly on full turn, and shred the front inner wheel wells (plastic) on deep dips even slowly when wheels are straight. This is what I...

front track width looks narrow.

Probably won't get 11 hours of good sun in the winter when you will need the heater. Maybe 4 or 5 @ 50%. As an example, right now, 10am central and 43 degrees north latitude, clear day, I'm pulling a whopping 1.25 amps (about 21 watts) on a 50W Renogy panel that I'm doing some testing on...

How much power do you need?

Was in SD hunting roosters a couple weekends ago. Population seems up. Our small group was very successful. 26 across 7 guys in 2 very full days .

100% agree

The generator is the solar panel, the battery is storage. Definitely need to plan for rain/snow/clouds as well as possible, including running the truck to recharge if needed.

DIY, 4S40P 18650 pack (120 Ah about 1800 watt/h) and 100W solar panel. No AC inverter, I only use DC in my truck(s). Fridge (Edgstar FP430), interior led lights, phone & tablet charging. I can go a solid 2 days without any solar.

LoL - that is going to be one heck of a lot of roof solar panels. Baseball stadium sized. When we first got our Outlander PHEV I thought about putting in solar panels to charge it. Battery capacity is 13,800 watt/hours. or roughly 8 x 300 watt panels - thinking 6 hours per day of great sun...

I have one as well & 100% agree with your comments,

Get it down to a 5 minute refueling (recharging) time, then I'd be interested. Otherwise - forget it. Until then it won't even be close to 80% capable. Capable to me means able to drive it conveniently where I need or want to go. Last weekend I drove 1600 miles round trip - there certainly...

nothing like the power of a sail

bid to $130K, no sale

Not sure of the OP skill level, but $1k isn't much margin or margin for error in my opinion.

Great sheet metal, should probably be saved, but will be a labor of love, not profit unfortunately. Not a Gen 1 Bronco.

congratulations and good luck!
