Join the club. Still waiting on a pic

I can tell you it's a lot easier to stay warm than it is to cool these big ovens down. I wouldn't "settle" for black Raptor for the ease of use. Buy the tintable, head down to your local automotive paint supplier, and pick your favorite color. They can set you up with enough to tint...

Why is it that the people doing the all the cool stuff are all over on the left side of the country? Man, the east is BORING. :)

Pretty much covers it. When did these first become available?

Northern Maine area. Unless you go back country it's not perfect, but pretty good for the east coast

If you're taking the trailer as it is in the last picture be careful making your turns. There doesn't seem to be much tongue length in front of your rack and it looks like it might hit in a tight turn.

The 6.0 never lacked in the performance dept. The only real bad part is the absolutely ridiculous amount of expense incurred when something goes south, which holds true for any of Fords diesels post 7.3. That's some awesome scenery on your trip. Beats the snot out of most things back here...

Heat. Soak. I'd really rethink black.

Just out of curiousity what 3D printer do you use, and why?

My Mog and some other Mil vehicles I've seen were marked with a paint pen. Actually a whole bunch of stuff, in different colors to indicate levels of importance. Wheel nuts had a dab of red on top the end of the nut up against the threads of the stub. Other things marked in yellow, mostly...

Mr I am just sick with envy. The wife and I want to move relatively soon and I'm all about this. She on the other hand being a born and bred concrete jungle city girl wants to move someplace like Tampa, and go camping on the weekends. In Florida? I might end up missing that girl....

What the heck did these tent makers do different these days? When I had mine it was mounted on a Jeep Grand Wagoneer w/6" of lift on 33" tires and the tent was mounted on top a roof basket on top the Jeep, and the ladder STILL reached all the way to the ground with room to spare. I had an...

You're only a hop n a skip from Ujoint at the moment arent you? He's not too far from asheville I thought. I'd give Chris a call and ask who his Powerstroke guru is before I wrote off the engine you've got. Shoot, if it's just a wonky injector harness or something I'd hate to dump the whole...

Where are you exactly? Does your model year have the injector harnesses that are part of the valve cove pr gasket? Internal. I've heard these can be a bit problematic. I can't imagine a cylinder with bad compression could run ok, then bad, then pretty ok, etc. Maybe your harness is...

Why are all the useful, mega good deals always on the left side of the country? :(

Shoot, I did a 10.5k Ambo with no lift. Standard E series should be easy peasy. The most useful tool you can have is a buddy, because once you roll under its guaranteed the tool you need is the one tool you didn't bring under with you. I wasted more time crawling back out for tools and...

RTT has it hands down over a ground tent. Worst case throw a 2" memory foam topper on top the existing and you'll wonder how you ever lived in a grounder. Now.... One thing I will say is that if you mount it to the top of your driver and plan on moving about at all on your camping...

PM sended....

Anything you've done to the front end suspension wise would be wasted. Most anything you do to the rear end would most likely be reused. I'm not crazy about limited slips. Big fan of full mechanical lockers and K.I.S.S. Call me old fashioned but I'm also a big fan of leaf sprung 4x4s...

I drive it almost every day. :) Fuel economy didn't change much after the conversion, surprisingly. I could get 14-15 highway, 11-12-ish city. The turbo really killed it though. Doing about 12 or so on the highway now, but I haven't really tuned it properly since I added it. Kind of...
