Ah, good to know. Yeah, Magic Mike has already nixed 96'W rigs (like ambo's loooong ago) due to my love of trails. Pavati building; added to my HPI notes list. I've been down in that neck of the woods quite a few times, but I'll take any recommendations thank you. (Should I download the newest...

Dogs had a tough time snapping a pic of me while they both were in "service body kennel" testing. Plus, a picture of me slithering through the pass-thru hole would break forum rules of overlanding pron. :LOL:

What overall weight do you think you'll come in at? Which camper? Yes, it has a Tow/Haul button at the end of the steering-column-mounted gear shift lever, so if needed I could press that and it'd probably downshift into 5th. As well, I have an M(Manual) mode I could shift the lever into...in...

Thanks M! Remember mine is the 6.2L V8, not the 6.8L V10 (I had in the 2nd "Unicorn" E350. A consideration, however overall, taller than we'd want. And that "living space" is a bit narrow. Magic Mike Overland Interiors is one clever organization, he'd have all sorts of cool ideas for this.

Glad you agree. It's good for him to twitch sometimes. ;)

Sweet Kodiak! I was just going to call on Mog(KODIAK1) to look here, but he's already arrived, so he can also advise on anything specific to your rig. For my cab-topper pass-thru, picture the rear window of my truck as it is, like this; Now, have a windshield company nicely remove that glass...

So I got the truck out today, cruising at 55mph, with factory 4.30gears, stock 33" tires, RPM's are right about 1650rpm just like the Spicer calculator said. Engine seemed happy. To test what 55mph would be like with 37"s, I slowed the RPM's down to 1450rpm (this was about 49mph with my stock...

Mark, when I read "hidden" and "hangar" and "D.B", my mind went right to DB Cooper. Must be a PacNW thing. ;) I hope ze Germans are able to keep their illegal pumpkin!

Rare to see a SuperCab! Yeah Taylor, how are you liking yours?

I'll get it onto the highway this weekend and advise further. I'm not sure how you got the Spicer calculator to allow you to enter MPH, it doesn't let me do that.

PS--I have these now on my '06 RRS w/ LR4 ARB Sahara front bumper. The big lamps work well. They're a bit too high a Kelvin rating (guessing maybe 6000k'ish?) for me (I prefer the ~5000k of my Rigid 50" bar on another rig), but I still like them.

Thanks duder. That's a handy calculator. To help others, here are ratios for the 6R140 TorqShift Ford 6spd; This unit has a total of six forward gears with the ratios as follows: 1st gear 3.974:1, 2nd gear 2.318:1, 3rd gear 1.516:1, 4th gear 1.149:1, 5th gear 0.858:1, 6th gear 0.674:1. Here...

Show me your mathmagician to calculate that you'd be running at 1750ish RPM "sweet jelly spot" with 4.89s and 40"s. Pics or it didn't happen. ;)

Would give new meaning to hot dog, but keeping the dogs in the aluminum tunnel box/kennel idea wasn't such a horrible idea. Remember, we're up here in the PNW with cooler weather, not down where you are in HawTacoville where you see much higher ambient temps. And I was going to insulate it for...

Looks even better in person. 360lbs base is indeed light. No concerns about durability. Mario and crew know what they're doing, at least IMO. .060″ 5052 CNC formed aluminum (structure), Insulated aluminum composite panels.

Finally an update...After lots of round and round (whether to keep my F350 RegCab CabChassis, sell it for a SuperCab (pickup or CabChassis) for dogs, scrap the entire thing and build another van, etc), making lots of pros/cons lists, trying to not be perfectionistic, as well as midnight hate...

Very cool! RTT is a bit high off the roof for my tastes, but YMMV. PS--tell them to submit here, needs moar Cayenne! :) https://www.rennbow.org/colorwiki/LapisBlue

Unsure if it's still for sale...

Factory Ford is 48gal (for CrewCab 176"WB) + 24gal aux = 72gal. <thumbup> https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America/US/product/2019/super-duty/2019-Super-Duty.pdf

Nice and sano, thx for sharing!
