Just finished install and ride/height adjustment of the Kelderman Front Air Ride Leveling Kit, with Rancho RS9000XL adjustable stocks - 1.5", adjustable front lift. Very happy. Highly recommend.

Here's my heavily customized setup. One of these days I need to post a full build writeup on the whole rig, but it started as a 2001 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins and a 6 speed. The only original parts of the truck you can see in the picture are the frame, hubcabs, and the hood. Northeast salt required a total rebuild of the truck 5 years ago. The camper required a similar level of rebuilding when I got it, and has fork pockets so I can lift it off the flatbed and put the truck back into work mode when not traveling.

Very Nice...Looks like a SunLite camper.

I just started a thread on the build.

Fleet Flatbed Conversion

1981 Fleet flatbed converted on a 96' F150 4x4 with built 351W. First trip was Saturday, second will be Friday. Currently just a shell with slide out bed and very basic electrical system. It is bolted solid to the flatbed up front, with spring floating bolts in the rear. Preliminary tests show the springs are doing their job.

Haven't posted on this one yet....Was looking for awning pictures, setups, and brands. I think I'm leaning towards the Eezi-Swift and mounting it on the wall below the the roof, as so its easy to deploy and packup while the camper is popped.

Few pictures from recent summer/winter adventures.

Ruby Mountains last winter.


Dumping last winter


So cold even Dixie needed a sleeping bag.


Moto ride...heading to Mammoth MX earlier this year.


AND WHY I WANT AN AWNING. LUGGING THIS POP UP AROUND IS A PITA, AND TAKES UP A LOT OF INSIDE SPACE.

Thanks!

Here are a few more from our annual Desert Trip earlier this summer. We had 5 full-size trucks, 2 with popup campers and K5 Blazer being the smallest rig. Next year the K5 and the Power Wagon will also be sporting popups as well. Zoomad, the K5 owners, just recently picked up a Rowe FWC K5 Blazer camper from the 80’s and refurbishing it.

San Rafael Swell Devil’s Racetrack and Eva Conover loop. This loop is no joke. Funny, the truck crawled right up this unit it stopped. If I had my front locker it probably would have kept going

Even ended up on the hook for about 4”. Longer wheelbases were definitely to the advantage of the longer trucks in this spot

Camp on Devil’s Racetrack. Man, it was windy this day! As the crow flies we were probably less than 10 miles from I-70 but it took all day to get here from the time we left pavement. Pretty intense trail

We actually didn't even know the trails name until the next day when we found this sign at the other end

This is the Eva Conover section I believe. 2 straight days of this terrain keeps the riffraff out. It didn’t look like anybody had been on this trail in a long time. Not a single tire track to be found anywhere. Definitely not a Subaru or Westfalia trail. In fact, probably not an idea trail for most truck campers either

Second night camped in Moab as we a couple trucks had wounds that needed licking. The Devil’s Racetrack cost the K5 Blazer a front axle stub, the Power Wagon lost a Duratrac and the other white Dodge lost a Duratrac as well. Lots of tire slashing rocks out on the Devil’s Racetrac! The tire shop in Moab was able to get their tires by the next day and a local 4x4 shop had a Dana 44 stub shaft in stock. We were all fixed up and back on the trail well before lunch the next day. I changed the axle stub for Rob with a hammer and a rock at camp....didn't even drop a u-joint roller bearing. LOL... Luckily my truck came out of Devil’s Racetrack unscathed other than a smashed rear shackle that still needs to be fixed

Third night, Beef Basin

Fourth night, a super secret spot. It’s a secret because not sure where it is other than it is an offshoot from the Hole in the Rock Trail somewhat close to Halls Crossing Marina

Last night, nothing special just a layover at Hovenweep before rolling back home to Colorado. The other trucks headed to their homes in CA and AZ

Next year the Power Wagon should be sporting a new Phoenix and the K5 will have the FWC remodel done. Here is the K5 camper as he was unloading it for the remodel after picking it up in Denver. It is coming together nicely! Rob and I will probably paint the camper and K5 at the same time next summer. Original Doeskin tan of course.
