I have been slowly working on converting my 2006 F150 (5.4L Triton) into a more camping/hunting friendly rig. Most of the modifications I made myself or with the help of family.
  • front leveling kit and rear lift kit.
  • additional leaf spring in the rear.
  • new front struts and rear shocks.
  • new tires (Hankook DYNAPRO AT2 - SIZE: LT295/70R17 ... 33+ inches tall) I didn't want to have to replace all the control arms, etc. for a larger lift so I went with these.
  • topper that I sort of color matched with white bedliner.
  • Rok Block on the tailgate to decrease dust coming in.
  • built in bed storage.
  • kitchen "box"
I will add some photos here of the finished product and then a few more of the build in another post.

Here are some shots of the build process. This was a low budget project as I purchased this rig for $5K and then had to redo the cam phasers. The build out was made simply with the hope of being functional. I will be towing a small trailer with at ATV as well. I will sleep in either a wall tent, two person 4 season tent, or in the back of the pickup on the area rug with padding underneath it - all depending on the situation and duration.

The picture of the pickup is the before shot - no lift, extra leaf spring, leveling kit, and just some low road tires.

2003 v10 excursion 4x4 and my trailer that holds my camping & cooking gear.

My excursion is all stock.
Front sway bar removed and warn locking hubs are my only upgrades so far.

I have a Dana 60 and a Ford 10.5 in my garage that I am going to rebuild with gears and lockers to swap the under it. Plan is 2.5” lift with 35” tires.

B76BBCF9-318D-42E9-84E2-C0751809F95E.jpegAny geologists here ? What do you see in this picture?

see on the left how huge section of rocks are Folded ?
That’s the tectonic plates colliding,
Sierra Nevada mountains are still going up, while Death Valley is thinning and starching,

North American plate is cutting half of California apart as pacific plate is moving west,
Death Valley is in the middle Of that argument between two plates.

Death Valley floor is over 9000 ft deep, all the sediments that erode from the mountains Fill the valley back up,

Eureka sand dunes are perfect example of the erosion and wind doing there job.
