No matter what camper you get, you'll have to address the suspension to some degree (and perhaps the gearing in the differentials) based on what you want to do with the truck. If you want to leave the camper on there all the time, you'll do well to research four items: 1) Your leaf pack...

Yeah, I can sympathize with that motorcycle addiction. Who needs _________ (pick a drug) when you can spend that money on a Ducati? Sweet camper. GLWS...I'm sure it'll move quickly.

2012? < blink blink > I couldn't save enough Green Stamps in a decade to afford one of those.

It's a 2005 diesel. I tried and tried to be a good acolyte of buliwyf's who generously offered sage insight and advice and steered me towards the 7.3l but I just kept coming up with models that had something wrong with them. Most candidates I found had the vacuum-assisted 4WD on-the-fly which...

As always, your insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just bought a Ford F350 4x4 with an OEM wheel size of 17 x 7.5. What are the advantages of moving to an 18" wheel? What are the disadvantages? What will be the advantages / disadvantages of a 35 x 12.5 x 17 tire? What will be the advantages / disadvantages of a 37 x 12.5 x 17 tire? I'm...

I think this was one of the original threads that convinced me to go with a 235/85R16 on my Toyota Tacoma. Now I'm trying to replicate that tall, narrow profile on a Ford F350 4x4 with a mild, Carli 2.5" lift/leveling kit and wondering if I should stick with the OEM 17 x 7.5 wheels or go up to...

So I bought a pair of Corbeau Sport Seats (actual model name) with the seat heaters and some seat mounting brackets for a new-to-me F350. My bottom will post back here sometime in May or June once it sits in the truck and makes the drive from California to Flagstaff, Arizona then Colorado and...

Man, I know where to go to find entertainment now....the slightest Rover taunt and getlost4x4 springs into action like my Afghan cat chasing a laser around the tent :D . Oh, darn it....Haven's going to delete my thread now because this was an egregious, personal attack and I've demonstrated an...

Yet another addictive forum with abundant research already posted which will assist you opening your wallet :D . http://www.telemarktalk.com/phpBB/

FWC introduced my wife and me to truck campers. Tom, Stan, Terry, Chicali and our FWC Fleet will always have a warm spot in our heart. Congratulations on 40 years of helping build family memories in the great outdoors!

Talk to Stan at FWC who can help you determine the right strength for nitrogen struts (an option on FWCs) which assist lifting the roof. Matt at Hallmark (www.hallmarkrv.com) uses a really nice lift mechanism that you can operate via handcrank (geared for easy operation) or cordless drill...

I wish I had the depth of skills to simply imagine the possibilities which you skillfully put into action. Great work, IMO. For those bothered by habitual trash talkers and drama queens on the forum, click on their forum name, navigate to their profile and select "Add to ignore list". That...

Man, I looked and looked on your website to buy "12 Months of the Good Life" and I just couldn't find it. :D Looks like you're living the dream to me!

I think I'm going with the Corbeau Sport seat for an F350 pick-up truck. http://www.corbeau.com/products/reclining_seats/sportseat/ EDIT: Do I get a prize for resuscitation of an ancient thread?

Today I sorta joined the full-size crowd. I haven't seen and won't see my new-to-me truck for another six months but it's mine as of today. 2033Diesel in Fort Worth ran over it with a fine tooth comb and was pretty excited to tell me it's a gem. Next up is resourcing a reputable shipping...

My configuration is shaping up to be: Open diff up front Manual transmission Manual transfer case High quality tires for road & trail ARB locker in the rear High quality chains front and rear That should be plenty for me to get where I need to go. I'll have a comfortable camper on the back so...

Wow. I don't know what to say other than, "Can I hold your beer while you work?" Your keen eye for refined materials, teak woodworking and aluminum joinery far outshine any scrutiny you might be perceiving from the internet peanut gallery. I'm sure your efforts are providing some ideas for...

Awesome link, Christian!

I think for the comparison to be fair, the base vehicles carrying the campers must be in the same exact configuration. Clearly, one vehicle's hood and roof sit higher in the photo indicating a different suspension package and possibly tire size, too.
