    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Custom leaves are the only way to go. Especially if your weight remains somewhat static. If you ditched the overloads and went with a hydraulic bump stop it will ride like a dream. Only drawback is the cost, but some things are worth the investment.

    Taking notes for my build. Might be worth it to run cable raceways everywhere.

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    The story I wrote on the Mint 400 for Fuelcurve got posted. It was a lot of work but had a great time at the race. https://www.fuelcurve.com/mint-400-race/ A friend of mine was launching his new magazine there; Dusty Times. The kickoff party had The Eagles of Death Metal playing. It was...

    ‘93 F250 4x4 Camper

    Here is an interesting DIY Pop Top Camper Adventure Truck

    I applaud anyone who dives in and creates something. It seems to go up and down real easy, that's a win in my book.

    Van vs. Truck Camper

    Same here. I wanted a diesel but could only find a gasser with a manual. After owning a crew cab and a single cab, I think the extra cab is the perfect body style. Welcome to the OBS club!
