I'm still thinking about the LOD. What would folks think about this full guard from Fab Four? https://www.stage3motorsports.com/FS17-N4170-1-2017-F250-F350-Fab-Fours-Full-Guard-Winch-Mount.html Heavy duty enough for a deer impact? Much less expensive for part and install. Obviously keeps the...

Thanks to you all for your quick responses. I like the look of this LOD: https://lodoffroad.com/products/ford/test/front-bumpers/2017-ford-f250-f350-signature-series-heavy-duty-front-winch-bumper-with-full-guard.html A bit heavy but I’m also asking if they make one without the winch Mount.

I have been thinking about getting a full brush guard/replacement bumper for my 2019 F250. Normally, I would just go buy an ARB but they are not making one for the new F-250s. I mostly stick to fire roads, but my big reason for wanting a better front bumper/guard would be to prevent totaling...

I just got the truck back from the shop after installing the BDS Fox 2.0 shocks and the heavy duty sumospring rebels on the rear. It feels amazing on road now, and I imagine it will be great on fire roads/offroad too. Checking it out tomorrow. True it rides a little firmer but dampening is...

I have the 6.2L gas engine in mine. These are all very good thoughts to mull over. Say I was looking for a comparative budget option with a potential upgrade path. I'm not planning on going too crazy offroad since this is my full time living rig too. Just been doing some fire roads and live...

Also, the camper weighs about 1600 pounds fully loaded if that helps. Think the sumo rebel springs would be a good idea to do right off the bat as well? If so, front/back/both?

Thanks for the great recommendations. What would you think of starting out with this BDS kit with Fox Shocks: https://www.stage3motorsports.com/BDS-1519H-2017-F250-F350-BDS-2-in-Leveling-Kit-with-Shocks.html

I have a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Pickup with a converted SpaceKap camper shell (build thread posted shortly). One last thing I would like to do is to upgrade the shocks/suspension for offroad usage. It is currently bone stock. What options would folks recommend for the heaviest duty/low...

Who makes that bull bar/bumper? I'm looking for minimal lighter duty ones (no frills, no winch, etc.) for the newer generation F-250s. Minimize damage if you hit a deer kind of thing.

If you don't mind my asking, what do you pay and what kind of hardware is required?

That's cool! I guess they changed their previous policy. Good option for some folks.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that is just Quigley, but I would double-check before making any decisions if you are going the 4wd conversion route.

Hmm, I think I have my parts list now. What do folks think? https://www.bluesea.com/products/7622/ML-ACR_Automatic_Charging_Relay_with_Manual_Control_-_12V_DC_500A -40 amp inline fuse 2 x 20-25 ft of 4 AWG (6.54mm) wire plus shorter lengths for the other connections Also, anyone know a shop...

Yes, as I looked into it, I think I will need to charge it from the alternator if I would like a decent recharge rate (interior 110 is paltry and wall charger is too slow). I think a 50 amp anderson on a thick cable from the alternator would probably work best into the ArkPak with Y-cable, so I...

I am trying to strategize the best way to install a dual battery system in my F-250 truck run a 110 volt plug from into to charge my ArkPak inside my SpaceKap shell, so it can charge via the interior 110 volt plug/alternator while driving as well as my solar panels on the roof. Also, is there a...

Thanks for your thoughts Jonnyo. Living around SF Bay Area, we barely get lows around freezing during the winter. I think I will ultimately utilize the ArmaCell ArmaTuff product as the budget allows on the roof and walls at least (think I should do more/all interior surfaces?). Hopefully, the...

Revisiting this. I have my rig setup now and thought I would try it out (uninsulated) with an dometic origo 5100 heatpal (~5000 BTUs) with proper ventilation and my Maxxair fan running on low for a week. Not quite powerful enough and a bit clammy/too much condensation on the walls for my...

I have a custom fabricated steel hatch ladder from my Jeep Patriot I sold recently. I had the guys at Shaffer's Offroad in Alameda, CA fabricate it for me. Way better than Gobi. I will post photos when I get the chance. Also up on ebay at the moment. I'm looking for $500 and I'm based in...

Just an update for those that are following along. This is the material I am looking at from Armacell: http://www.armacell.us/products/armatuffandarmatuffsa/ It is their armatuff product that includes a tough white outer cladding layer and self apply adhesive. They have a few local...

This is actually a good point. I live in a pretty temperate place (SF Bay Area) on the whole. Unless I can find a cost effective solution for something just like 1" closed cell foam with a nice white cladding outer layer (waiting for my quotes), then I think I will just prioritize some kind of...
