    2016 F550 Custom Overlander - San Jose, CA - PRICE REDUCED $215,000

    Too strong? No way to have it on "setting 1" and not frost yourself?

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    I still need lots more miles on my '19 F350 6.2L with 4.88s and 37"s, but I have been finding myself perfectly happy cruising the highway at 55-65mph, no need to go faster (other lighter vehicles are for bombing at 80mph to Utah). Interesting to hear your "low rpm" feedback Peter(montypower)...

    2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

    To HPI soon for install of the 4 underbelly boxes. Pics to come. Then first very minor trip to WA to stay in it for a few days. So far, the Carli/Deaver XXHD rear leaf springs have completely transformed the ride/handling even further (beyond what the rest of the Carli/King pintop kit already...

    Bowen NotSoFlat Bed Revisited

    Using L-track to attach a camper? Wow, a bit shocking. Most campers aren't light enough for me to believe that's a safe choice (many people are even afraid to attach seats to L-track, even though the mobility industry use L-track to secure wheelchairs). YMMV

    37s Load D or E?

    Look at the Toyo tire table data (it's not specific to Toyo but is tire industry data). I'm unsure if the carcass is different C vs D vs E load, since they're no longer 6 vs 8 vs 10ply. I've chosen to run a 37x12.5x17 D load vs E load, as looking at the table data vs my actual axle weights...

    2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

    Yes, it's been slow....quite a bit regret with that but learned my lesson. Copy that; will re-torque them after about 300mi or so. Standard to-do we tell our clients too.

    Big custom camper sightings

    It looks like an early Hunter RMV when they used to plop Forest River trailers on an LMTV.

    Bowen NotSoFlat Bed Revisited

    Hmm, doesn't make sense to me. Fasteners for attaching L-track to a vehicle are ~M8 size or so as this is the diameter of the holes in the L-track(often pre-drilled in the track rails); not very beefy at all. And L-track is just aluminum--I'd think he'd use more steel for beefing up structure...

    2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

    Sorry for the delay all, life stuff getting in the way. Not a Taco and GFC....but a Ridgeline and a CVT--you got me. :censored: Carli/Deaver XXHD leafs went on today (finally). Pretty straightforward install without a truck bed or anything else in the way of them coming out the sides. SUCH an...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    I love my 4.88 Yukon/Nitro's with 37" tires! PS--Peter, I just fitted a slightly used 37" M/T into the factory spare location. Doesn't fit as well as your A/T, but it has a nice departure angle to it so it should work for now. Funny how a 37"(36.5" truly) tire can fit into the OEM hitch/spare...

    ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

    Flexible yes, but no idea on brand, sorry.

    Bowen NotSoFlat Bed Revisited

    This is just L-Track for when there's no camper in the bed. The L-Track allows you to quickly strap down whatever's in the bed. I'm sure they use some beefy bolts to actually mount the flatbed/boxes to the truck frame (my HPI setup does).

    What ever happened with your fuel tank predicament?

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    You've had good success with the Hawk LTS brake pads, yes? And there's no reason you can't run these even if you're not towing, yes?

    ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

    Ver2 campers will have the ceiling ~2-3" higher than my Ver1, and thus the 3 rear windows will be raised much higher so they're easier to see out of. Mini Maxxair fan is right above the kitchen galley for any smells. A window in the galley would be partially blocked by the flip-up Dometic range...

    Ursa Minor Camper Shell for JT Gladiator

    Good point about an aluminum cabin. So what's the holdup on the JT UrsaMinor; anyone know? I remember talking with (John is it?) ~2yrs ago, and if camodog has been waiting 18months, that seems about right for timing. A UM top on a JT would be damn sweet.

    Roaming Lost: 2022 RAM 3500

    Awesome!! I hope Deaver finishes my Carli XXHD leafs soon (King's are at Carli now getting re-tuned for camper weight); looking for another night/day difference from Carli!
