yes but that would only work if you had someone paying attention to the tires....

HAHA its funny to see how things like planning a trip around bathroom access becomes a thing as we get older! I do see your point java in saving cash. It is interesting like Oz said to see different reasons for wanting larger tanks. Just curious, is there a huge price difference between the...

Oh nice. I didn't realize they had oe replacement for yours. I wish they did for my truck also....plastic is better than steel for a tank IMO. Personally, I would consider the 61 gal unless it hangs a lot lower and causes clearance issues. I'm hoping for 100 gal in my truck. I just think it...

I think titan's are transfer tanks? I would look and see if AeroTank has a larger than factory version. They do for my truck. literally doubles fuel capacity.

I'm getting closer to getting front and rear bumpers. '97F350 CCLB (with shackle flip, so front bumper mounting is not 'factory'. Current thoughts. Front: Full size winch bumper from buckstop - considering the Outback - high potential for animal collisions and really don't want to destroy my...

While I dont have a rig like yours, it is a thought I had myself many times for my Jeep and F350. A few years ago went testing the new truck suspension, and decided to turn around at the bottom of a steep loos gravel jeep trail with lots of undulating and deep ruts. It was probably 15-20 deg...

So with that, whats your success rate in finding a local FS road that is unoccupied to camp at?

The un-expected (and un-desired for this particular time): The low vacuum switch is bad. No replacements - unobtanium. So it has been bypassed for now, but needs to be replaced soon. I will have to find out if the service manual says at what vacuum reading the switch closes (or opens) to see...

So some things have happened. Some expected, some kinda but not really expected (this soon anyway). The expected: mean green 200a alternator, heavy duty cables (battery+, battery-battery, grounds, starter), RedHead steering gear and column.

Previously people have said it well here. TV (for those who want it) is one thing, but internet its something different. I think many of us on this forum have looked for a way, unsuccessfully, to have 'good' network access while out and away. There is a reason why we (military) use massive...

With so many expo rigs out there being sold for well over twice the cost of this thing, I'm surprised it has not sold yet....

Maybe make sure the sheething is ok too, and that corrosion hasn't gotten into the wiring from some crack - usually near the terminals.

I think this is one of the best selling points for a 'expo' rig, no matter what style, and something I think a lot of people don't think about. The ability to stay 'anywhere' whether its a day or a week, but not just staying somewhere doing so comfortably to extend the originally planned fun...

I don't think the OP is getting what he wanted haha... seems to me there is more reason in favor of an OBS than not! Naturallly, I would also be in favor of an OBS. Great trucks, but I'm biased of course. I find the above comments about these trucks being 'crude' is not quite accurate. to me...

Does look like a pretty cool new tech. I'd like to see it under the hood and a wiring diagram to see if they simplified the wiring any. But I'm still curious why a smaller diesel hasn't been developed yet. Especially when so many others have developed them well.

I will have to look into this. What's your change interval? No concerns in the hot summers?

I wonder how much of that nasty oil is attributed to infrequent changes, or just the type of oil ran, or possibly any sort of contamination from blow-by that crept up there, maybe even significant idling rather than highway miles... Just rebuilt my entire enginge last year. Second owner of the...

Good start to a great discussion. I've basically copied my own post from the other thread, but edited - hopefully this thread will spark some conversation. Maybe even from the 'big guys' in the heavy weight category. Personally, I think that weight considerations are critically important not...

I think there's a few more things to consider here seeing as how it would appear you are starting to go down the same road I began a long time ago. The items that are specific to your truck, such as a winch/skid plates, are more or less permanent. whereas the items you use to go camping are...

This would actually be a very good thread for some great discussions and a good resource based on other experiences. You are totally correct in considering packing. I am currently working on a load plan for my truck so as the build continues things can be in the right place. I think a lot of...
