    2019 F350 4x4 custom HPI flatbed/AT Atlas topper

    Check that, I was incorrect...mine is technically 10,900lbs GVWR, so curb weight is 6030lbs, max payload is 4860lbs...for 6.2L. SuperCab version if I were to move to it would be 11,300lbs GVWR, curb is 6353lbs, max payload is 4940lbs...for 6.2L. Note that the 6.7L diesel adds about 750lbs to...

    Putting in the FWC order next week. Working with Alum-line on flatbed/tunnel box/storage box details. Waiting to hear from Buckstop on "custom" aluminum front bumper.

    2019 F350 4x4 custom HPI flatbed/AT Atlas topper

    5882lbs curb, ~10,000lbs GVWR. Why I went into this build wanting to keep my build lighter if I could, while also building a more "extreme duty" offroad camper (meaning, possible rear winch, etc). If I was going with a 12-14' cabin, even composite, then it'd have been more challenging on an...

    I assume they do a simple reflash of the ECU. Don't think anyone anymore is de-soldering the stock chip from the board, installing a pair of risers, and using encrypters(sockets) with a re-programmed chip.

    There you go! Kevin, you should have bought a Ford vs RAM.

    I am relieved you found the hidden patch real estate. Burn to Taco owners! Are Tundra owners any better at math? I hope to be under your 10.3k.

    Haha. I just cannot be as kewl as you with my dainty FWC cabin. Know what a friend said about your RAM 55000?; WTH is he going to do with a Ram 5500? **After having Tundra/FWC/boxes, he's worried about maxing his payload with his custom composite cabin setup. What, is he going to insulate the...

    Good to hear on alum versions of these! Copy on aero being more of an issue for you on both, vs mass. Thx for your thoughts on total of 56gal of fuel for my F350. Looking forward to following your Kodiak build.

    2019 F350 4x4 custom HPI flatbed/AT Atlas topper

    Thanks for the clarification Mark, I'm clear now (and the step makes a whole lot more sense). I assume these are all metal tanks, but the top looks aluminum perhaps, the bottom steel. Are they both steel? And no poly tanks correct? (some aftermarket tank mfr's have had issues with the tanks...

    Wonderful Mark, thank you! Interesting these are called side tanks(so I picture saddle bag tanks, perhaps on out outboard side of each frame rail), yet it actually sits between the frame rails, aft of cab, as a mid-ship tank? Any pics of the tank and where it'll go on your badazz Kodiak? For...

    I'm all for reliability. If you want a bit more pep in your step, contact 5 Star Tuning for an ECU reflash.

    Am I missing it? Says F150 only, not F250+.

    Thanks for your thoughts and feedback guys!

    2019 F350 4x4 custom HPI flatbed/AT Atlas topper

    Just got off the phone with Alum-line about my flatbed/tunnel box setup...he's going to talk to shop foreman about my spare tire patio idea, unsure if they can make the deck that long AND have a rear winch/hitch. He was praising the fact that I have a chassis-cab vs pickup bed delete though...

    Wheelie bar wheels was my thought, this way they act as a buffer between terrain and bottom of the porch(or porch's skidplate). If no wheels, then porch or skidplate is damaged. Wheels are lower cost to replace. Thx much, their thought so far was that 4.56+ won't work, going to look at 4.10-...
