I'd still much rather have airbags, 10 ply tires that eat into my payload than max it out without that stuff lol

Who said 24mpg on a lifted 4x4?

Crazy! I weighed it on a govt CVSE scale (truck scale on hwy) and it was 1490kg front, 1110kg rear, (5732lb) no topper or anything.

Speak of the devil, jump over to the for sale section there's a 2013 F350 lariat for sale for $29,500 that has everything I listed earlier done to it, except the flat bed and camper. Could have the entire thing done for 55k,

Oh distance isn't the issue, it's the CAD dollar right now lol 30k USD is over 40k CAD

That is a friggin steal! I'd snap it up in a second if you were in Canada...

Thanks for the info!!! Never knew there was different frames. Where abouts is the sticker on yours? Curious which one I have!

Heavy duty frame? Link?

Huh, my lifted, 35" 10 ply tire, 4wd supercrew ecoboost gets 16mpg, going from 5000 feet where I live, to 1400 feet where I work every day (I never drive flat highway, it's always up a hill or down, which is dramatically worse on fuel than flat), at 80mph.

70k budget would build a ************ expedition truck, what I would do; 2011-15 F2/350 6.2l Gas, ~$30k buys you a very nice one. Used FWC, ~$20k should get you one. Basic flatdeck, ~$4k gets a nice basic one with a few boxes 35" tires & 18" wheels, ~$3000 Carli 2.5" backcountry system $~2500 with...

Whoa how is your truck so light with all the gear and camper? My 2019 Crew short XLT scaled dead empty, 1/2 tank of fuel, and one occupant at 5732lbs I scaled it with a quad (1151lb) (I would guess similar in weight to the camper?) full tank of fuel, one passenger, gear and fuel for two days at...

Why bother with velcro? All the REAL overlanders know duct tape is the proper way to mount a flatbed. Cheap, stretchy, and best of all, it's shiny. Then, when you're setting up your industrial 600 sq ft kitchen... Errrrr... Camp kitchen... You have a way to keep the lid on #4 smoker slightly...

So read back two pages where he posts pictures of the flatbed subframe. Also, it's the internet. You asked everybody.

Kinda ************ pics with where the sun is, but I had a bush scratch pretty bad on one of the flares, so I had them Line-x'ed. Looks so good!! Will get a better pic another day. I really, REALLY like how it breaks up the red and ties in with the black wheels and emblems!

Throw an exhaust on and OMG that would sound good!

That's like asking if you buy a lottery ticket, will it be a winner? You might blow the motor tomorrow, it might last for another 300,000 miles. Drive er til she bucks, or buy a new one because they're nice. Lol.

See I can get two pieces of metal to stick together, just don't ask them to withstand extreme loads, such as a gentle breeze, or possibly a sneeze. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I need to take a welding course I think.

Super singles?

Thanks guys. Super stoked. Cannot wait! Time to buy my arch nemesis! The disposable, ************ built travel trailer. Who makes a decent one? Jayco, Forest river, Keystone etc?

Well this is rather exciting. I just had my offer accepted on a just under 5 acre chunk of land. Will be an off-grid cabin. About 1/4 acre cleared, the rest beautiful old ish growth timber, which I will use some of to build a large cabin/small house. Land has no buildings on it at all. I will...
