In 1999 I got a chance to buy that same truck in all black but it was a 96 for 10k... being 20 with no credit at the time I couldn’t get a loan... I’m wishing things would have worked out differently

I have the same set up and love it, although it’s a tad tight with my truck bedz air mattress

Yes I agree and feel that is real good fuel economy given the truck

Just got back from the timber ground, I pullled my 20ft trailer with a kobota tractor and finish mower. My truck has a topper and a decked system loaded with tools. I had one other person with with and a bunch of equipment in the bed of the truck. With the cruse set at 60, and several miles of...

Yes it doesn’t clear the 11.8 ring gear that 4:30 gears come with, either did my mag hytec cover. If you want an aftermarket cover look for one for the 11.8 gears.

I wish I had extra cash laying around, that is a cool van! Awesome set up

It’s run of the mill of the shelf stuff, nothing special.

Snugtop is the cats meow for fiberglass toppers, they do make reinforced versions that will work fine for rtt, depends on the model of snugtop.

You will hate bias ply tires on a heavy truck, I ran those bias swampers for spares 20 years ago on a gasser Dodge Ram. If you want tall skinny tires look at some military tries or expedition imports for some contential tires.

The kings are a far superior shock, but they are not coated like the cool looking fox shocks so they corrode quickly unless you wrap them with 3m. Fox I believe are clear coated. I run fox 2.0 carli tuned and would love to ditch them for some Kings, but I don’t feel like blowing 2.5 k on shocks

As part of my job I manage a fleet of ford vehicles, I talk to the maintenance guy for the road crew fleet, the 6.2 ford has been problem free truck for them. If I were to buy a ford, it would be an f350 with the 6.2. I hear ford might be coming up with a 7.0, you might want to wait for that.

My cummins is bone stock, 40 k and counting no issues, this is my 3rd 6.7,all stock never had a problem. Figure around 2 k to delete the proper way.

Very nice set up! I want to get a military trailer and build something similar. I really like that whaler in front of you.

Do you have any tips for getting the dash apart? I got my spod and plan on mounting it in the same place as you.

That’s good to hear! Not like dealing with a ford, gm or Chrysler dealer.

If I didn’t have a newborn at home I would probably do that! I’m gonna keep this thread alive since I want one of these bumpers, and it’s on my list if they get it working right.

Bags with daystar cradles allow the bag to be free from the lower mount, therefore you can get more articulation in the rear axle and a better unloaded ride. The carli long travel bags allow for full articulation of the axle without a cradle, and cost a ton more.

Depends on the trailer, my small Boston whaler yes, the 32 foot loaded down cargo trailer I get around 10-12 mpg.

Any updates?

That’s not horrible, I bet it improves. On a side note, that’s about the same as my 3500 cummins on 37 inch tires.
