    Locker on the front, or a winch?

    Are you rock crawling? I've never needed a front locker, but I have needed a winch.

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    I'm not sure what's going on in the world. My Atlas springs have been flawless. I did have a problem with some skyjacker brake lines. I talked to support and they were supposed to send me a banjo fitting. Instead, I got a bag full of nylock nuts???????

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Off the grid. Water will be precious. I did find out that Ocotillo's need at least 8 inches of rain a year to live. There was a rainbow over it when I pulled up for the first time. Didn't find the pot of gold.

    roof rack lights for setting up camp.

    I run 4 of these Vision-X led flood lights. https://www.visionxusa.com/shop/3-4-utility-flood/ They are bright enough for any task without being so bright that they give you a sunburn. They are lightweight, and durable. They have been on my truck for 6 years and still look and work like new.

    I drove a 79 blazer for years that was bulletproof. 350/sm465/ and 14 bolt I swapped in. You have a solid truck there.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    My laptop crashed a couple months ago. It had an old copy of solidworks on it. I don't have a cad program anymore or I'd whip one out. Time for some cardboard and hand work.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    It's been on hold since I have been traveling. I think I have most of the parts I need. Trying to figure out accessory mounting. It's a challenge because unlike a V8, there just aren't many available bolts on the motor. Originally, the engine had only a generator. I want power steering and AC...
