Thank you wirenut - I appreciate the input! That was a topic I was going to ask at a later time but I'm glad you covered it - needing cross band repeat, not that I now what that means just yet, but its good to put on the list of things to learn about. :-) Thank you that points me in the right...

Ahh good to know. Thanks for the input redone! I live in WA too and have been considering them for my truck for a while now. Always hear people say "yeah they're good" but never expand haha. Any thoughts on sidewall toughness as compered to others? For me anyway that's priority #1, then a...

I'm curious to hear why you don't like them.

Yeah the cracking is exactly what I was worrying about.... It would make the whole process just pointless and even more difficult to fix since that stuff is so thick. Jeeps, not a problem, but these big trucks flex a lot for it to seem like it would last longer than a winter - especially in...

Bump for thoughts/suggestions on frame work - either POR15, eastwood of some sort, or normal undercoating - rust encapsulator and prevention.

What about duratrac's? They look like they would be pretty good, but don't hear them being discussed much.

Most likely my dad will certainly follow suit. And seeing as how we will be 3-4 states apart for several years, it would be cool to communicate even in non-cell coverage areas. It's basically just the two of us as far as 'family' goes, but I'm hoping and sure to make friends, hopefully through...

Hey guys, Thank you all for your input! It's always good to hear a multitude of opinions and thoughts regardless of any situation, and I do appreciate it :-) I'll provide some more info about my thoughts and desires for the original post and try to answer some 'questions' in one thread -...

As the title suggests. I've done a lot of reading over the last few years, and have now just simply become overwhelmed with so many options and technologies - especially relating to HAM's. There seems to be some contradicting information, so I was hoping for input to sort it out, or at least...

FYI Seabass - I have decided on a aluminum service bed. Spoke with the owner of a very well known place in town (my friend/current landlord actually used to build their race trucks frames), and told him all about my truck and needs/desires. He's all in for building a sweet setup at a good...

Well great news today! Truck got put in the shop last Thursday and passed compression testing with less than 10% difference between all cylinders. Let the engine removal continue! In the mean time, I'm researching much more work - including full drivetrain rebuild (axles, to include...

Thanks Seabass for the thoughts on the bed. Just realized I never responded to your post, sorry about that. Well, my own build has been slow – much slower than wanted and anticipated, but you know, life happens. In the meantime I've done a lot more research, exploring, and thinking...

Right on! In person I agree is best - its a shame so many places are going away from that to cut cost. Great news you like it so much! Might make me rethink a few things.

I think i missed something somewhere....what locker did you end up with?

I expect a full review!! :-P I spoke with Atlas a few weeks ago and am pretty interested in their progressive springs they have now for our rigs. I'm sure your ride is going to be pretty darn nice now!

Thanks for the replies guys! I chatted with Todd the other day, great guy and too, the time to talk with me about all sorts of stuff. I'm leaning very heavily toward the LP67, but probably won't be ready to pull the trigger for a few more weeks anyway. Some food for thought, i'm not sure what...

I'm pretty sure they have independent compressors - or so I've read from others. I need to call them and verify though, but it would make sense since they have a higher amp draw. https://www.dometic.com/en-us/us/products/food-and-beverage/cooling-boxes/powered-boxes/dometic-cfx-75dzw-_-139576...

Awesome build!! Loved reading this. Looking to do something very similar to my OBS ford as well! Would you mind posting the specs of the service body? I'm curious of its dimensions and estimated weight. Been looking for one for some time now and no luck, so I'm considering having an...

Ok so looking for some input on various options for a fridge/freezer setup. I've been having ongoing issues with my trailers 3 way fridge, and cannot find the culprit, so until it has been fixed, I am in the market for a portable fridge/freezer so I dont loose any more food when the main unit...

Nice thread! Love your build. I'm curious to hear what your condensation situation is now that you've been on a few trips. I'm considering doing something similar to you, but on a lower profile. Original thought was a pop up style (like a FWC) but, its basically a tent and condensation...
