    Lowering a full size truck with RTT for garage height clearance...

    I gotta agree with this. Build what ya want to meet your needs. Then figure out how/where ya can park it.

    Larry's 1978 K10

    Always admired the rig sir. Curious as to what that is. Other than the lil' sparker thangs that light the burners ain't much, I been real happy with mine.

    Getting camper on and off the truck.

    I loaded my monster Lance onto my gooseneck trailer by usin' a forklift on each side. Worked great ... but certainly helps to have a friend with two forklifts.

    A good rig will take you where you wanna go ... a bad rig won't. :)

    My Taco Phoenix Pop Up Camper

    I liked it. :ylsmoke: I ain't in politics so I ain't gotta be politic'ly correct ... and I'm not. Now can we please stay focused and just get back to bashin' on the camper ... I'm very curious if it's even gonna be any better after the second go 'round. My opinion ain't changed ... sell...

    4 Wheeling with Jacks On Camper

    Hallmark took mine off before I drove outta their shop. I got 'em wrapped in 2 u-haul movin' blankets on the floorboard of the extended cab on the truck in case I should ever need them. If I had a home, I'd leave 'em there tho.

    Ford Fullsize Thread !!!!

    My switches for the ARB's and the lights went into the lil' cubbyhole on the dash and I put the air bag controller and engine tuner knob in place of the 4wd rotary switch. And I found some snow for the first time last week in the Eldorado National Forest. Quickly returned to the desert where...

    SRW wheels with some load rating - suggestions please

    Actu'ly a VERY high load ratin' ... and perform mighty fine on and off the road. I also like the 13.50 width. I'm runnin' 'em on 17" Spyderlock beadlocks and have yet to kill a single senior citizen.

    Sportsmobile vs. XP Camper -- Why the XP Camper Won For Us

    My last comment for this thread is that I hope you're just as passionate about modifyin' the truck you bought. Reality is that camper ain't goin' nowhere without the truck. Therefore it ain't goin' nowhere that truck can't go. That's why most my effort went into the truck doin' the haulin'...

    Pop up on full time????

    I agree with pappawheely, design the truck to handle the load and then leave the load on there. I carry the camper jacks layin' in the back floor of the trucks extended cab in case of some unforeseen issue and I gotta remove the camper some day. If I had a home, I'd just chunk 'em in the garage.

    Sportsmobile vs. XP Camper -- Why the XP Camper Won For Us

    I agree with this statement and disagree with the opinions the OP has on other options. Hope the OP is happy with his purchase and it brings him years of enjoyment, but don't try to push it on the rest of us. Nothin' wrong with braggin' 'bout what ya got ... but it's ridiculous to try to make...

    Custom rack design for a roof tent & awning on a Raptor...

    Cool design. Just be careful with weight ... those trucks ain't designed to haul much of a load. I cringe when I see pop-up campers on 'em.

    Thanks. Road Armor Stealth on the bow, Aluminess on the stern. It's been a fun coupla weeks in the desert. First outin' for both the truck and the camper. The 4-speed Atlas makes a huge dif'rence. I can gear 'er down so low that my 4 monster disc brakes won't even hold 'er back. Gotta...
