Where are you located? Are you talking a new USA G-Wagen (ie G550 or G63), or a new Euro G-Wagen (G 350D), like the Professional line? Regardless, personally I wouldn't feel comfortable taking either across Africa; too much German overcomplication with too many sensors and electronic widgets to...

The balance issue with the Hutchinson beadlocks is due to Hutchinson having designed/spec'd the centerbore of their wheels a few mm larger than the hub nose of the G, causing vibrations thru the steering wheel at 58mph+. Tony at Motorsports (Hutchinson dealer, G nut) in Portland, OR and I went...

I hear that. Looks like in the future we may tow a loaded horse trailer, where the torque of the diesel would make that a breeze. But we're never going to be towing more than adventuring so I'll deal with slogging up mountain grades when towing, in exchange for the simplicity of the petrol V8...

You're welcome. Diesel F350 for towing I assume? Both excellent choices, ATO sells both, and both can be as easily removable from a flatbed as a slide-in camper is. Curious; any height or noise constraints pushing you towards a poptop/fixedtop? Interior storage or potti cabinet needs? Natural...

Since I haven't seen any posts yet in this forum about the new AT Overland AterraXL hard-sided composite flatbed camper, and we're up for production unit #001, I thought I'd start a thread sharing info and our experience. Here it is in initial concept form; Here it is in real life, as the...

Great question. Answer is no, and that's based on a few reasons, but I'll explain further; --The camper is designed/engineered by ATO to bolt through a flatbed in the 4 corners of the camper. At those 4 corners in the camper, there's a 12x12" reinforced area where you can bolt through. So, I had...

Thx much! I hadn't yet delved back into the DRL's, looking back at install note, and/or calling TRS tech line to discuss with them; I appreciate you trying to help! I was thinking that if TRS couldn't advise, perhaps a master "Go Dark" switch might take care of what I need. My friend who helped...

Yes, the big petrol fuel tank will be MUCH easier for others now; https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1684207-update-transfer-flow-replacement-gas-tank-for-6-2-7-3-super-dutys-3.html?fbclid=IwAR3WExlGCT1lS4LCtZHf_dW2cfcw7q-bAVMbj6CKI0cxNCs_LAF9hVYv6kk Thx for the Wildpeak A/T3W feedback! I...

You have factory headlights though still, yes? Perhaps there's some conflict with my TRS XB LED's...? Thx for the confirmation Peter. I was looking at the BB A/T's last night when I posted. I'll add it into the list below (as well as their M/T just for fun). An industry friend is trying one of...

Bit more than a FWC.

Thx. Truck is a Cali truck. I've turned DRL's off in the DIC but they're still on with the headlight switch turned to "O". Wizard is looking into DRL's off via Forscan. I searched https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1649945-forscan-threads-and-resources-index.html and found post 3599/3600...

Thanks for the info and data points Peter. To confirm, your friend has Falken Wildpeak A/T3W (https://www.falkentire.com/tires/light-truck-suv-cuv-tires/wildpeaka/t3w-tire), not the A/T Trail? Many of the people I know that like them are limited in heavier trail use. Agreed on 2ply sidewall...

Awesome, congrats!!! But moar pics are needed! We can't see all the goodness in the shadows. :)

Haha, you aren't helping! :)

Rig was moved from the very front of Larry's to the very back corner/hidden away; I figured that meant it had a deposit on it. Hopefully someone else loves on it and takes it on some notable adventures! Then it was moved back to the front. Unsure if the deposit fell through, or Larry's is just...

I get a bit too geeky on all the data at times. Apologies to others. Sounds like my initial weigh-in was on the lighter side. Not sure how that happened; was at an ODOT weigh station like the other two. Thx for the weights. 33" Blizzak LT's only for Nov-March here. Then 37" for the rest of the...

Larry's has it at $85k? It appears whoever bought it from sourdoughben sold it to Larry's?

Thx for following along! Brackets are TF's. They're a bit taller(ie hanging lower) than I'd like, but it is what it is. Their supplied hardware is junky(much of it broke) and so the wizard had to source high quality hardware and design a different mounting method using some custom parts. I...

Pics are up on page1! Per my HPI notes, looks like 91" bed length. I'll measure to triple confirm. Thx! Hoping March or early April '22. Changes from Mario's prototype; I've heard about a few small changes here and there but nothing significant. I read on IG that their Aterra XL ver2.0 will...

Agreed with you on the typical hard sided camper; too big/blocky. This ATO Aterra design (developed with David from Tern Overland) makes a hard sided camper look a whole lot better IMO. Good luck finding a regular cab; uber rare anymore. We almost went SuperCab to keep the OAL(overall length)...
