Just barely. I probably have a about 1"-1.5" of clearance. As soon as I add a roof rack/awning or even just go up in tire size I'm not going to fit.

The drawer/camper set up is always in the back. Will an add-a-leaf affect drivability? Will it be too stiff?

Electronically. It also has a manual key, but that doesn't match my car key.

Thanks for all the comments and questions, all! I had no idea people would be so interested in my modest build. Glad to see the full-size community here is strong.

Really not sure. I threw on a quick leveling kit when I bought it just to gain a little extra clearance in the front. Long-term, I'm considering Fox and Icon systems but not sold on anything yet. As for tires, I'd like to get some good AT's that are a bit bigger than stock, but the tires that...

23 gallon tank. Definitely jealous of the larger tank, as I only have around a 400 mile range. I also was interested in the 3.5l, but I bought used so I fell into the 2.7 instead. Still a great engine. I get around 19mpg on average. It used to be more like 20-21 before adding the topper and...

180XL, as it was the only option to allow the rear glass to unlock with my key fob. Front window has slider and it is hinged/removable. I also have a inflatable tube creating a seal to make a pass-through to the cab. Side windows have sliders with netting and they also pop out. I'm working on...

I have a DIY bed/storage setup in the back of my pickup (see signature for thread) and the rear suspension has started to sag. I've looked for the best solution to this problem, but most other sources I've found are for towing or hauling on pavement. I drive around with a medium amount of...

Thanks. I have the 2.7 Eco with the 3.55 ratio.

Thanks. I've seen that lift. Very cool concept, but quite pricey. I did have to buy the topper new from the dealer because I couldn't find a used one that fit my needs. That was quite expensive itself. (Around $3k)

I'm able to sit up, but not quite all the way. I'm still hunched over, but it's enough to set up to read a book, or put my shoes down on the floor to and sit to tie them. I'm 5'10" In my initial plans, the platform was 2 or 3 inches shorter, resting right above the wheel well, but at the last...

A couple of small additions: I had to settle for a truck without the off-road package, but I did pick up a set of the skid plates that would come with the FX4 package. I grew tired of the tailgate slamming open on me when I opened the back, so I installed a gas strut that lets the tailgate...

I always appreciate anyone who documents their build, and I took a lot of inspiration from everybody else, so when I started my build I was determined to post a log of my progress. I meant to post this much earlier, but life got in the way. (And I was having too much fun out in the woods)...
