    2021 Ford F250 Tremor Adventure Rig

    I was just going to share your info with Bret.... I just mounted my 37" Yoko X-AT's, and got a used 37" ProComp MT for some beer--hoping it fits. Bret, why move away from your FWC to something like a Supertramp (if they built a flatbed model). What do you dislike about your FWC?

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    To be clearer, the RAM BaseCamp9(H) above says "Pass Through Window to Cab - vinyl snap in door/cover." With the black cover on in the pics, it's difficult to tell how large this window is and if a person could squeeze through in an emergency or not. I was expecting all Summit's to have at...

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    Some sort of human-sized pass-thru on the Summit vs no human-sized pass-thru on the BaseCamp; the biggest difference I had understood.

    Bowen NotSoFlat Bed Revisited

    Looking awesome MH! PS--I can attest to the HPI price tag, but I needed a custom flatbed vs a custom Bowen hybrid(excellent value for what they created).

    2021 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-HBE pop-up flatbed pickup camper (renamed the "Hudson Bay" for 2023 model year)

    Regarding the Owl Sherpa on the Sprinter, I can help answer questions on it, I know them intimately. Are you asking about the door hinge brackets-to-Sherpa plate fasteners? Or are you asking about the 1Up trays-to-the Sherpa attachment points? There Vertical mount kit (separate from the 1Up tray...

    SOLD! MERCEDES BENZ 310 4x4, 25‘000km - ex Firefighter Truck converted into unique Expedition Vehicle

    OM617A (turbo'd) I-5 or an OM603A (turbo'd)? An OM606A w/ 603A injection pump would be incredible. These are popular for G-Wagen's, taken from the E-Class sedan.

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    So I should start looking for the best tacos in a 200mi radius? You have a free "RV" pad here amigo. The view isn't three-quarters bad, trust me.

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

    Sweet, thx! I'll look into them. My tunnel box is pretty narrow so I'm hoping they have ones less wide. I gave Dan at Carli my current front and rear axle weights for the leaf springs, and asked if my shocks needed a re-tune due to the weights. He said absolutely, as every kit they send out has...

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

    I said I'm happy with the Morimoto XB's overall. Not worth the $ to me to buy OEM LED's. Moving on.... What's next...(some of this may sound boring) -37s go on soon. -Been working a little bit on organization in the crossframe box. Need to track down the appropriate size storage containers so...

    ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

    Fully agreed on L-track. I almost had HPI add L-track to the exterior "rub rail side" of my flatbed, to allow me to alternatively tie the camper down with Torklift/Derringer turnbuckles, but since the L-track was a bolt-on, I learned HPI or I could do it later, so I opted to hold off on it. If...

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    Looking forward to a review of the CampFX. While it has more storage than other OEV models, OEV's are still light on storage vs some competition. Horses for courses.

    ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

    Mine has the Garmin unit. I haven't used it much yet. Unsure on the load limit for the rear accessory holder/rack. I do know that it not only mounts to the rear mechanical camper jack mounts, but also the dinette table mount is through the center of the accessory holder/rack too. Agreed on...

    ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

    The ATO AterraXL is definitely impressive. I'd say it's the hard-sided competitor to the OEV CampHBE (poptop). Ver2(or is it ver3?), let's just say 2nd Gen, will have even more headroom as you mention. This will allow the 3 dinette windows to raise up for better visibility to outside. From my...

    Thanks for giving the camper thread some life; https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ato-aterraxl-composite-flatbed-camper-pagoda-roof.230266 People sleeping over there apparently.

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    6days? Sounds like the LA port issues. Max and Jeremy at Technique Vehicle Outfitters (OR dealer for OEV) has the 1st production BaseCamp(called an S--what's that signify?) at their shop in Bend OR. The rig is getting upfitted now. I agree on a BaseCampBase, this would be smart. The new...

    Ah, good info. Someone on the Ford forum sent me this link, for any of you other Fordies out there; https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1517743-complete-how-to-halogen-to-led-heads-and-tails.html No OEM LED's for me. Would require front bumper removal, and probably a few thousand bucks of parts...

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

    I swear some other threads were talking about the new Tremor LED's. I've seen them on Tremor's and other new F-SD's(they're the lights with the bright ass lower lights shining in your mirrors when a truck is passing you). I just did a quick Googles search and it appears it might be Lariat...

    You are very correct sir. Mind the gap as they say. So perhaps this will only be a sun shade?
