    Total Composites flatbed build

    Lariat. FX4 and not much else. I wanted something “luxurious) but I hate adaptive cruise and all the other nannys. I didn’t love the interior colors of the Platinum and I’m not hillbilly enough for the King Ranch. With Forscan, I’ve been able to remove almost all of the annoying beeps and boops...

    Yeah, the improvements across the years is amazing. The new SD is one of the best vehicles I’ve owned.

    2024 Ford F250 Super Duty Water Tank Ideas

    By mounting it outside the conditioned envelope of the camper, you’ll have to ensure it doesn’t freeze or get melted by the exhaust. Why not just put it inside? Weight distribution will be better low and in front of the rear axle, too. At any rate, I had a tank made by Trionic and they could...

    In this thread are the pics that I have so far. Is there a specific thing you’re interested in? I don’t take a ton of pics as I work. The entry ladder is stored inside the bathroom just inside the door; it is a modified Little Giant step ladder.

    2003 F550 No Limit

    I had some idiot named Andy do the hydro-assist in his driveway. Honestly, it wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t “easy,” either. The hardest part was finding a place to secure the fixed end of the ram while ensuring it is parallel to the tie rod. I needed some help from my fab shop to cut me some...

    2003 F550 No Limit

    Regarding building your own steering stabilizer - why? That is exactly why I did hydro-assist instead of replacing the factory steering stabilizer. My only idea for that generation Super Duty is to ditch stabilizers altogether and switch to hydro. All your junk is worn out anyway so might as...

    Newby question - Lift on 2021F-250

    Correct - as @tacollie points out, your truck appears to have stock suspension. Since you mention that the front is lower than the rear, that almost certainly means the front is stock, too for the reasons tacollie mentioned. My suggestion would be to wait until your camper is on and you’ve...

    2003 F550 No Limit

    I have a similar era 7.3. For steering mods, I put in a Red Head gear box, a new Saginaw pump conversion from Lee, hydro-ram assist, and an uprated hydroboost (also from Lee). The new gear box took away most of that sloppy steering phenomenon. The ram allows you to turn at low speeds while still...

    The old 7.3 had a decent amount of work done on its motor so it was pretty dang fast loaded up. The new 7.3 doesn’t accelerate as fast currently but we haven’t had any issues thus far. We can still pass other vehicles uphill, have no trouble maintaining freeway speeds, etc. You can tell I’ve had...

    Reasonable Mods For Carrying Heavy Things

    Meh, mass is mass so it feels similar. That isn’t to say it didn’t improve with the mods because they absolutely did and the truck handles about as well as stock now. It is still a big, heavy truck. Another aspect of the diesel vs gas debate I forgot to mention was that the diesel ate into the...

    Shell Cost

    I’m not following. My point is just that if you’re a US-based buyer set on getting a TC kit, have one of their Canadian partners build it, saving on both the labor to build the box and the tariff to buy it.

    Shell Cost

    IDK man, I just know what the invoices I have add up to. That looks to be the listing for a complete habitat, not an empty shell. For a completed project, that sounds pretty realistic.

    Total Composites flatbed build

    Well, time has passed. Although the 2000 F350 we started with was amazing, it was also unbearably loud and hard to be in on long trips. Also, while pre-DEF diesels have their own cachet, cold starting one in the garage attached to your house becomes a real drag. We had a chance to update our...

    Shell Cost

    I had our camper built in 2022 by Pronghorn EV using a custom TC set of panels. The box included interior fiberglass panels (~60sq ft) to build the bathroom, roof hatch, exterior door, cargo door, heater, and 3 large windows - that was $25k USD. Pronghorn built it out (installed the doors and...

    Reasonable Mods For Carrying Heavy Things

    I have a ’00 F350 with the 7.3. Our setup is similar to what you’re hoping for (and similar to what @IdaSHO currently has). Our weight fully loaded is similar to Idasho (~11.5k) which means you’ll probably be close, too. Obviously, folks have already covered making sure you have appropriately...

    Forscan Dedicated Forum

    I don’t use it but my understanding from Forscan research is that it only allows the pulling of codes, not the ability to add/change features with full Forscan on a Windows machine.

    Hierarchy of hard sided campers that handle the snow/winter?

    Another thing about honeycomb that is interesting is that since it is just air between the skins, light passes through easily. The Aterra has a polyurea coating that I assume provides some opacity. In our TC camper, our bathroom is built using honeycomb panels that are an inch thick. Daylight...
