Awesome truck and build! Just ordered a 6.7 F350 Tremor in stone gray.
I’ve owned a LOT of vehicles over the year. If someone came and offered me $100k to build a truck, I’d build it exactly the same. The only difference I would change would be iconic silver, the 360 camera, adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel, and winch. None of those are that important to me, and I may still end up with the winch at some point.
As many times as I’ve seen “Carli + 37’s on a F250,” I wasn’t going to click on the thread, but this turned out pretty cool, especially the Casita! One question for you…what do you use the farm jack for? Mine was useful when I wheeled an old Jeep for a few years then I never used it again on any full-bodied vehicle. Found them downright dangerous to use on a modern truck (too easy to dent the sides of the vehicle and no jack points).
The hi-lift jack could technically be used in certain off road situations which a regular jack would not work. I have never used it, but have had it for like 4-5 years and a couple different vehicles, so keep it just in case lol. I think they would be ideal on vehicles with sliders (like my previous 4runner or current land cruiser) as the sliders are designed to be jacking points and Should work sufficiently.
The Casita is a one-of-a-kind. I have done so many amazing mods to it and have a pretty good “to do list” after taking our most recent Baja trip. Primarily - tear out carpet and install hard floors, extend tongue and add rack to hold water/fuel canisters, solar, custom brackets for 4 scissor jacks to sit flush with the frame, and a few other things. Switching to lithium, the inverter, and closet mod we did over the last few months were a HUGE upgrade.
Most of my projects the last couple months have been with the cobra and land cruiser. While I don’t have any big trips planned with the Casita (unfortunately) for some time, I need to start knocking out a few of the larger Casita projects while we have cool Texas weather and plenty of room in the driveway/garage to get it out of the storage for the weekend.
On the truck - I installed the storage bin on the drivers side. Like the rest of the cap, install and quality was top notch. My initial plan was to install a full lithium/solar kit in there, but I’m still up in the air right now. Part of me wants to build up the truck to reach some destinations that I can’t pull the Casita, but we’ll see. Between the RTT and electronics I want, it’d probably be around $5k-$8k. If I knew I was going to use it a ton I’d be all for it, but living in Texas (where it’s hot as he** 9 months a year), I’m not sure that I see it happening. Also - work will be crazy the next year, so minimal time off..
