Maiden Voyage for the Roof Top Tent I took the family on a quick little overnight trip to the Icicle Creek area outside of Leavenworth this weekend. We have a favorite campsite close to the end of the road that is super awesome. The sites are huge, right by the river, and since they just opened...

Looking good, victory is so close!

No I am bind free. The top and bottom have the ability to pivot so it would take a lot of caster change to max them both out. Plus there isn't as much caster change as you might think. I should try and measure it some time, it would be itnteresting to have actual numbers to go off of.

Thanks guys! The old truck always surprises me with how good it does offroad, but a pair of selectable lockers are definitely on my list of "needs" lol! We are planning on heading up to Leavenworth this weekend to try the tent out for the first time. I'm pretty excited to give the setup a good...

Looking good! I'm glad the adjustable jig idea worked for you too, it was a life saver for me.

The plan is to use something like this; http://www.polyperformance.com/Poly-Performance-Uniball-Kit-Package I should be able to add these to the ends of my arms pretty easily in place of the bushings and at the same time add a few more degrees of angle to the arms to in-board them some more...

I second the lower price comments. $15k is pretty high even for a perfect OBS powerstroke. I love mine and other than fixing some oil and fuel leaks it has been great the last two years and 20k miles. I'm at 250k now and it is still purring like a kitten. If you stock up on Dello 400 at Costco...

I used quick fists for both the hi-lift and shovel. They were not my first choice but I needed something fast before last weeks trail run. Your 3"x3"x.187 tube is going to be beast! I used 1"x2"x.125 on mine and it is super strong. One thing to be awayer of is when you cut the angles in for...

Actually I got that one because of my miss match front and rear in spring rate and travel. Since the front is so soft and flexible it would droop and flex great and then the back tires would pitch the cab over the roots and stumps. I was 99% through a super tight pair of trees and at the last...

I just got back from a wheeling trip his weekend and I had a similar issue with my bushings on the axle side of the radius arms. They weren't as bad as yours but still split and clunking at times. Turns out people like us need something more substantial than bushings to hold up to our heavy...

I made it out to Tahuya state forest today with a group from NWOL and had a great time. The trails down there were super tight for my big rig at times but I made it through with only one new battle scar. The truck continues to amaze me with what it is able to do. I did suffer a similar failure...

Hey man, I haven't stopped by in some time. Truck is looking good! Any progress on the bed rack?

For a daily I would still use the radius arms because they help eliminate the need for a sway bar. If it was a more trail dedicated rig I would consider a three link for the front, but I can easily unbolt one of the upper link brackets when needed and turn it into quasi three link. I can get the...

I got a little done on the truck. I added some holders on the bed rack for my hi-lift and shovel. I also fully welded the rack and added the last gusset for the cross bar. I also got two the the tie down rails mounted in the bed. I still have a bunch more to mount around the perimeter of...

The MTRs are awesome tires and work great in every situation I have put them through including being t-boned by a chevy luv! The MT OZs are terrible and from most accounts don't work well in any situation. The only other one to consider are the BFG Baja TA, but I have no personal experience with...

Thanks man. When I was doing all my research before buying my truck I was really bummed by the lack of information out there for how to build our OBS fords. There are a million threads on how to swap in a D60 using all factory parts, but the only two people I found who had decent coil spring...

I recommend Fletz auto and tire for your military take offs. Best prices and great service. http://stores.ebay.com/FELTZ-TIRE

I haven't thought of that yet, the blanket idea is a good one. The other option would be a tarp so it is easier to clean and stow. If the tarp was long enough you could run it under the tent floor to keep that cleaner as well.

I just got my Mt. Rainier from CVT and installed it this weekend. I have been planing and saving for this for about eight months so I am super pumped to finally have it on and ready to use. I built a removable bed cage that keeps the tent at roof height when folded to try and reduce drag when...

LOL! I though that might have been you! It's funny now that my truck is so recognizable it get that a lot. It is pretty hard to miss a big red ford with an RTT on its back.
