    2019 Ram 2500 or 2020 Ford F-250???

    If your getting a diesel, nothing beats a cummins, espically combined with the Aisin trans. If your not sure on if you want a gasser or not, hold out and see what the 2020 super duty brings with the 7.3.

    97 F-350 CCLB build:

    I run that Mobil one extended service oil and their filter in my wife’s Tahoe, I run 10k oil changes, I’m impressed with the oil, decent price also.

    Whata Ya think of these as a good start for a build?

    I would think they would be good parts trucks, I would offer 10k for all of them.

    97 F-350 CCLB build:

    Wow you did well. Back in 99 I knew a guy that had a 96 f350 long bed 4x4 with a 460, he ordered a new f350 diesel and offered to sell me his 96 with 50k for 10k. At the time I was young and didn’t have the money, I wish I would have bought that truck.

    Diesel engines

    I know a guy that swapped a 4bt with a turbo 400 trans into his suburban, I’m not sure on the details of the swap but he has all the factory gauges working fine and swapped in a AAM rear axle out of a 4th gen ram.

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I heard that these trucks with the AEV flares and 37’s look,awkward. Yours looks great and the tires don’t look to small. Do you have any side pics? I’m thinking of getting a set of AEV flares.

    AEV Prospector XL Flatbed Adventure Rig

    That fuel economy is not bad considering what you are driving... don’t expect much better, you have the aerodynamic of a brick. You may consider 40 inch toyos when the swampers wear out and some free spin hubs, you will free up about 2 mpg, don’t expect anything better. For your extra fuel...

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.

    Looks like a step in the right direction, it’s no power wagon, but it’s a good idea, espically offering the diesel. I give ford credit on this, now take it a step further with a front locker and whinch.

    The Trans America Trail in a 2019 Ford Ranger

    Very cool! What gear did you wish you would have brought? Is there anything you didn’t need that you brought? I’m always up for advice from people that actually travel backroads and camp.

    Need advice - buying a truck

    I would get any truck with a solid front axle... that limits you to 3/4 ton on up ram and fords. I personally would look for a power wagon, if you need more capacity swap in diesel springs.

    Just got a 2019 Phoenix Mini Max Custom!

    That’s a really nice set up! If you don’t mind me asking, what did it run? I’m debating an in bed camper.

    My new camper and truck ready for gnarly dirt roads

    One time a buddy of mine talked me into pulling a huge box trailer to Wisconsin for him, I had a 14 2500 cummins truck. I knew the trailer was heavy and could feel it but the truck pulled it fine and stopped fine. Just out of curiosity I stopped at a cat scale before pulling into town, 21k...

    Question about diesels or gassers and grille front light bars/light mounts

    I’ve had no cooling issues, I have a 30 ridged E series on my AEV bumper along with a whinch and a low hanging removable front license plate, all which block the radiator far more than the stock bumper. I recently went up to northern Ontario pulling a Boston whaler, a ton of gear and 4 people. I...

    I’ve always liked your set up, can you post more of the camper? My wife and I are thinking about a trailer or in bed camper of some sort. Thanks!

    Yeah other than lodge cast iron for camping, everything else I own is scanpan.

    Ford Superduty Tremor "off road" 2020 F250/F350.

    Your right! I would also mention it’s not in the same class as a power wagon. It’s a decent package for allot of people.
