I live at 4000ft and get those ones mentioned above, which is in line with the 3.5 consumptions others have mentioned in this thread. It’s a pretty common observation around the net. The numbers on the window sticker are different (and towing too) but for normal highway driving there’s very...

May have already been mentioned in here but: 2.7 Eco, most fuel efficient but check the payload - their max payload is usually down by 200-300lb compared to the larger engines. Something that may be especially important with two kids. 3.5 Eco, good engine, more “peppy” than the 5.0, in part...

Out of interest does anyone know what this connection is called? Presumably it’s the same on the ARB as my Dometic? I’m just about to install a cigarette plug but I’d rather use the screw in option...

The biggest issue was working out if I’d have to cut too many of the strands. I decided to step down to #6 just before the socket and use a splice kit instead. Other end will also be a #6 wire as it’ll only be a foot or so long. Saves me having to modify the socket to accommodate the sleeve too...

o_O I did the calculation about 5 times because it didn't make sense. Once more after reading I'm wrong and I get your answer. Still not sure what happened there... Also found this: https://www.australiandirect.com.au/Battery-Systems/Wiring-Connections/TV333820-50 A protected flush mount...

It looks like even with 13.5A* running through a 3ft length of #10 wire there's an unacceptable voltage drop (around 4v) so the split wire is not going to happen unfortunately. Bolting it could be an option. What I would ideally do with the SB is install it in a flush mount box in the side of...

Thanks for the replies. To clarify, I don't need waterproof connections, just a receptacle/plug that is weather/dust proof (i.e. I want a cap so when I wash the bed out, or stick skis/bikes/kayaks/gravel/mulch/wood in the bed I don't damage the plug when it's not in use). The SB series...

Thanks, yeah, I’ll contact them. Was hoping someone could take a photo of the way the GFC is physically attached to the truck. Is it the standard G Clamps used on most tonneau covers/caps or is it something dfferent?

I want to be able to install and uninstall a second battery in the bed of my F-150 and have something neat when the system is not in use. I was originally thinking a Powerwerx connector...

Our GFC should be going in to production any time now and I’m hoping to pick it up and head straight off on a 6 week trip. With that in mind I’m trying to get some information/images of the interior on a 2015 F-150 so I can prebuilt at least some parts of a kitchen/bed system before we pick it...

Yeah, basic flooded batteries are cheaper, but they need ventilation. From everything I've read it's not a good idea to stick those in the same space as you live/sleep. Fine for those that have external storage locations, not so much for those with truck campers. My battery is going to go in...

Are your sums right there? I'm currently looking at batteries and have pretty much decided to go for a drop in LiPo (BB) because it works out at "only" twice the price. Slightly different prices as I'm in Canadian but US prices are similar. The BB is $1200 for us, but a 100AH AGM battery $300...

Thanks for the replies. The 275/70R18 are actually 33" (assuming the links were provided because of the 35s?) and should fit without any modification as far as I have read. I'm thinking of a minor lift just to give me a bit more body clearance (especially for departure angle) while not doing...

Thanks. I'll have a look into that, it could be an option. And yep, I'll have a tire repair kit and I have a compressor.

I have a stock 2017 F150 at the moment and I want to make it a bit more off road ready. I'm thinking of adding a set of Fox Factory 2.5" shocks all round and doing a minor lift (2" at front, 1" at rear) but I'm a bit confused regarding lifts and shocks and travel. Stupid questions alert The...

I'm doing some trips up to Northern Canada/Alaska and down to Baja over the next couple of years and I'm thinking of getting a second spare as it's recommended by friends that have done these trips. I have an F150 with a GFC camper so can't store it in the bed. I'm thinking of a swing out hitch...

I'm considering these tires for my 17 f150 running stock Wranglers. Has anyone swapped over from those to the XLT's? What are the like? Also looking at the Wildpeaks and Geolandar G015's but there's very little proper testing on road of any of these tires.

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/33-range-loss-in-cold-winter-conditions.106072/ The last three are hypothetical points based on the curve projected from the actual data. Cold is a major issue, but at the same time it's an issue that only really comes into it's own when going below 0 C...

I'm planning/doing something similar to this right now. I have a 6 1/2ft box and will have a a GFC camper on top and I'm building a modular system that I can take in and out in depending on what I'm doing. To do that I'm building three boxes. One taller one will be the cabinet for sink/cooler...

Have a 17 SCAB 6'5 box 5.0 3.55 with E-Locker so similar to yours. We have a Go Fast Camper on order and I'm trying to work out what tyres and suspension upgrades to do (amongst other things), so will be following with interest. For tyres i'm wondering about KO2's to replace the Fortitudes for...
