I decided to follow the majority of the advice given on here and go with 17's. I just picked up two American Racing AR172 17" x 8" wheels off cragislist, got both for less than the price of one new. Just gotta buy two more now! These were originally my first choice before I started looking at...

Well my brain hurts now. Thanks for posting this. Never heard of it before now. Still not quite sure what to do with the info when it comes to buying wheels?

Nah, someone bought the cheapest rims they could. Tires are ok though. It was a road queen before I got it. I'm not a fan of the 18's at all. I appreciate the input though.

Thank you. this is new to me. I thought 16's would be easy to find, but that's based on my Tacoma, which are obviously not E-rated tires. Well, not mine since it's not an overland truck.

Thanks for this info. 16's are so much cheaper, well, $50 a tire or so. Guess that ain't much really. I want to keep the truck for a long time. I mean who really knows though. But that's the plan. I definitely don’t want low profile tires.

Hmm. I like this idea. I've seen these for sale, but haven't checked them out closely since I was leaning towards 16's. I do like the look though. I don't like the way a lot of modern wheels look on older trucks, but these are pretty sweet!

I bought a new to me 2000 Ram 2500. It came with 18x9 rims that I hate. Plans are to eventually put a camper in the bed, not a huge one, something that fits the bed length, probably a hard top. I have wanted to switch to 16x8 wheels, but I keep finding some great deals on 17x9 wheels. I know...

Carhartt covers don't fit very well in my opinion, one of the main reasons I steered clear of them. I wanted seat covers that weren't loose or sloppy or looked like seat covers. I have never had issues with swamp azz with my covers. If it gets hot, I have the AC on anyways and if it's nice...

Not F-150 specific, but for my Tacoma, I put a set of Wet Okole on. The fit is amazing, they look great, build quality seems to be very good, they're customizable. Not cheap though. With a labor day discount, I still paid around $500-600. Worth every penny to me, especially now that I have a...

I recommend checking out this forum: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/storage-solutions.91/ Lots of great ideas in there.

Ahh, good to know, I'll have to take another look around in there. Thanks

Did you create this from a stock image on SketchUp? If not, how did you create the truck image? Been wanting to do this myself but my last attempt on SketchUp was really frustrating.

The big three definitely want to push people into the bigger trucks, but Ford and Chevy both have mid-size trucks now available, but neither with the payload of your truck. However, I did just look and the Ranger is rated between 1600-2100lbs. approx. I kinda wish I'd waited and bought one over...

I wouldn't believe their marketing, but it sounds like this was a temp fix and better lights are in the future for you, no?

1.2 tonnes = 2,400lbs. How is the payload so high? My US spec Tacoma is only rated at 1,100lbs. I would love a 2,400lb. payload, it would open up options for so many campers.

Silicone, if you used sealant with actual silicone in it, will draw water into it. Silicone is hydrophilic. If you used silicone, it's too late and you can only ever use silicone there again as the stuff leaves a film that only more silicone will adhere to. If you didn't use actual silicone...

Following.... You're on the same path as myself, albeit ahead of me. I'm a year or two out maybe, but also planning on an older truck, F250 or 350 probably for a dedicated camping rig and have started to question if I want gas or diesel. Just assumed diesel since I loved my Dodge W250 with the...

FWIW, I installed some Wet Okole seat covers in my 2016 Tacoma. Cost new was around $700-800. I installed them myself and they were not difficult to do at all. The fit on them is really great. The front seats are near perfect, and the rear is very close, there is only one small spot on...

Ha! I was just about to link their website. I saw the announcement a week or so ago and immediately thought of them when I saw your post today.

I think it just depends on what you are actually doing with your vehicle. My Tacoma is stock and will remain stock as it's not my adventure vehicle. That was my Dodge until I had to sell earlier this year :( I had E-rated BFG AT2's on my Tacoma the past 3 years and they sucked at everything...
