    Converting to manual locking front hubs

    I have the Dynatrac kit on my superduty that not only allows for proper manual hubs, but also gets rid of the unit bearings in favor of traditional serviceable taper bearings. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Its good stuff.

    Random Scenic Shots

    Depends on your lifestyle, for sure. Most just hunker down for winter months. Weirdos like my wife and I wind up using the camper more in the winter than summer. ?

    I need to upgrade my truck to a 250/2500

    It likely wont be gas, diesel, or electric for OverTheRoad trucking OTR Trucking going hydrogen fuel cell combustion isn't that far in the future. Energy dense, fast refueling, and clean.

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    I hear ya on the (air) filter changes. This is after just 4,000 miles of 60/40 (hwy/off pavement) in our 6.2 Superduty And we never travel with or follow close behind a dusty vehicle. Just unreal. So I don't know why or even how, but I'm doing a filter shake/blow-out at 2k and changing at 4k...

    The bigger the truck, the greater the (misplaced?) concern about payload?

    The fact that MFGs or Dealers are actually placing a payload placard on a truck is a simple example of how wild things have become. Payload is a VERY simple number. Its max GVWR minus curb weight. Nothing more, nothing less. But instead, the MFG places some silly payload rating on it. When...

    Limiting Bandwidth on the road

    I'm curious, is anyone using a wifi router/bridge on the road to manage wifi and data usage? We use VERY little data, and are currently running a Solis-Lite as a "pre-paid" method of connecting when needed. It works great, but the app is useless as far as wifi controls go. Occasionally we'd...

    Idacamper Custom Flatbed

    A few years ago we were hip deep in new house construction... Needed a rear rack for long stuff, so that was fabbed up. 4 bolts hold it down. And having on-site living that is easily removed from the truck is a huge bonus in many ways. Load of doors, fixtures and appliances Full...

    And true to the nature of a proper flatbed, its all about utility... And what I commonly refer to as the "old man steps" are awfully handy ;) A few more shots...

    Idacamper Custom Flatbed

    certainly some hours wrapped up in it… though I didnt keep track. If I had to estimate, likely 50-60 or so for all labor, and another 6-10 just for concept, design, and materials selection.
