Winch in snow test The tires and wheels are ordered, but in the meantime I decided to go down a little heavier snowed in road and got mildly stuck. Turns out the dually does NOT track well in fresh snow and it was horrible keeping it straight. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY NEW WHEELS! I aborted about 70...

That's funny, I just saw that youtube video. I've checked on home made ones and found the following links helpful: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/24641-Testing-Pull-Pal-Alternative-Smittybilt-W-A-S-P-(Winch-Anchor-Support-Platform)...

Nice pictures and updates. I just posted on your locker thread. Got stuck over the weekend too, although in snow not dirt. Wasn't that far offroad and just used the rear winch to get out. Wrong tires for snow, but also considering lockers when I do the re-gearing to accommodate the 41"...

Was just out last weekend and got stuck in the snow with f450. No limited slip and both front and rear wheels were spinning on one side, other side not spinning at all. 2x4 now. With as much weight as I am running it was hard to get out. Have a winch, but no point to winch from. Truck came...

Yeah, called bushwacker and they don't have one that fits that year with the headlight in the cutout. I've yet to try ER. I talked to a couple members on it that have my truck body and they didn't have much luck; but maybe with some persistence I'll get somewhere. Did find a couple people...

Got the truck bed on and took it out for the first time. Was going to head up to the mountains but the weather wasn't cooperating so decided to take a trip out to the Saline Valley hot springs. Was about 60-80 miles of mild offroad, mostly on graded washboard road. Got interesting when we...

The truck bed is built and installed on the truck. Been finishing off some wiring and camera installs the last month. Been lacking in updates, but I have some time tonight and wanted to post pics of the build. Here is the sub structure for what will go under the rear overhang of the Lance...

The rims he had for them I'm not sure I would recommend for use. 1 of them broke due to a bad weld without penetration. They are from Rickson and are 10 lug. I bought them for use as tires only, was going to make my own rims.

I bought them for $600 and paid about $300 or so to ship them. At the time I was going to use them for my build, but maybe going a different route. Interested?

From what I hear you have the best tires for sand too and the weight with the G275's. I bought the Talon winch for my setup from Summit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SPW-1618201 Couple times I've been stuck an 18k would have done it. Got stuck at Pismo and even another truck to winch...

Dude those tires are massive! Thanks for the referral for the flared fenders.

Just curious if you found any other fender options than the fiberglass ones. I went on Bushwacker's site and they don't seem to have a cut out one for the 2013. I like yours, but I was hoping to save myself some time and paint and just go plastic. Earthroamer apparently has some, but another...

I think Aero tanks will build a custom tank for your application. I'm diesel but I don't think they differentiate. I had 2 custom tanks built for my rig, 1 midship to carry 25 gallons and the aft tank redone to carry 50. I dropped it off and a day later it was done. They use a small transfer...

Love the build thread. I've read it a couple times. I'm considering the Goodyear G275 for my build as well and wanted to thank you for posting how those worked for you. It's good to know I maybe cutting into the sub structure! I was wondering how the F550 stopped when you installed the heavy...

Just got back this week from our Canadian Road trip. We were gone most of August with no internet in the Canadian Rockies. The truck went up to Valley Truck in early July but we ran into some problems with the way the Lance Camper has what we thought were trim pieces but turned out to be...

I ran 265 on 19.5 my first time around, then 285 after those wore out. There is a difference as the 285's require less air per the inflation chart and ride smoother offroad and on. I noticed a difference especially on the fire roads that are worn with those ripples from travel. As far as your...

Funny thing is the 285 tires I purchased were from Bruce who had the failure with Rickson. I didn't realize it until they showed up and one was still mounted on the wheel that actually failed. I'm having a hard time finding people outside of Rickson who have experience making the 19.5 x 7.5"...

Yeah, I have seen that and it has weighed heavily on my decision as well. Wheels coming apart at bad welds. Was looking at Stockton Wheel and Hutchinson Inc. too. That's another reason I like dually. Two is one and one is none.

So after a LONG time lurking and checking out other builds I decided to do one of my own. I have a Lance 992 camper that I have been using on the back of a 2006 F250 for the last 8 years or so. I've always wanted more storage space (even afterI built the aluminum box on top!) and after highly...

I'll take all the tires and wheels for $600. PM sent.
