You're definitely right about that. I don't necessarily intend to use them as a slider, so much as rocker panel protection from bumping into anything. I'd fully expect 8500 lbs to be able damage them if used in a true slider scenario.

Right now diesel in my AO is $2-2.10 per gallon. I also prefer using known high quantity Diesel stops for fresh fuel. Couple those two with the fact that I hate stopping for any reason other than desire, and I love a long range capable vehicle. Ideally I'd add an 90-110 gal tank to my truck...

Part of my reasoning for not going any higher. My truck sits about 2" rear high with the heaviest trailer I pull. 2.5" will be slightly nose high with that trailer. I can load it with more rear weight, as I do load it very front heavy currently. Rear bags may be used in this scenario to keep...

The 17s have a good bit more clearance than the 16s. Yes I will have some rub, but it'll be at compression with wheels locked. I'm not willing to lift the truck, and not exactly going to wheel this. A level with 37s will provide plenty of clearance for what I have in mind, with minimal rubbing...

Not even remotely true about off road diesel. An underbody tank would net me 10 gallons at most for $1200-1400. Not worth it. Or I can use up 9" of a 99" bed, and gain 60 more gallons for 1/3 of the cost. No brainer there. As to why, I really hate stopping for fuel. Plus I can put fuel for...

I've been a lurker here at ExPo for close to ten years, and finally set up an account today. I have no idea how to post pics though.

I ordered a 2017 F-350 back in the spring, and took possession of it towards the beginning of April. This will be a slow documentation of the build, that will be mostly for exploring the backcountry via forest service roads and as a base camp. Not new to 4wds, large diesels, or off roading, but...
