    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    Nice equipment, but when the fridge is in there where do you put the rest of your gear? Looks like the kitchen takes up the majority of your truck's bed.

    How are you guys powering your fridge in the back of SUV?

    For running a couple accessories such as a fridge and maybe a few USB chargers and a 12v socket (a pretty common addition) 10 awg is probably sufficient (20' of 10 awg can handle 15 amps with only 3% voltage drop). A fuse block is a good idea (Blue Sea Systems makes high quality units at a good...

    Re gearing question?

    I think the "PS" in the original post refers to the 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel.

    Re gearing question?

    First of all, great looking rig! Second, 4.88 or 5.13 is really low. After reading about your situation my gut feeling said 4.56, but I don't have first hand experience with that rig. I can't imagine needing 5.13's to move 21,400lbs around, even with 37" tires. My brother had your year and...

    2020 Jeep JLU Rubicon Recon "Razor Crest"

    I love my Baja Designs lights. I have LP6s on my truck and a Squadron Pro for the headlight and a pair of S1 auxiliary lights on my motorcycle. FYI, those are not S2s. They look like Squadrons (Sport, Pro, Racer or SAE) to me.

    Propane Storage

    That is how my 30lb tanks were secured to my travel trailer and those bottles never moved.

    ARB bull bar & winch on a 7.3L Super Duty that's old enough to buy beer

    Your truck looks great! I think the ARB bumpers look best on the older trucks with more squared-off bodies like your F-250.

    F150 Shock Preferences

    Rancho and lift-branded shocks are typically not the best quality and low on the performance spectrum. An excellent shock for someone not needing or wanting a rebuildable, tunable shock but still performs well is Bilstein. And I wouldn't bother paying more for the race type 2.0 emulsion...

    GPS Noob

    I have several GPS that I use; a chart plotting GPS (Lowrance Baja 540c), a handheld (Garmin GPSMAP 60Cx), and various cell phone apps (Locus Pro, OsmAnd+, Gaia) and I like and use them all. However, the more I play with it the more I like to use Gaia on my iPad. It will do everything on your...

    Camping Whisk(e)y?

    I prefer a Scotch Whisky over anything else, but I haven't found a favorite, yet. I guess I need to keep drinking..... :smiley:

    BIG RIGS…. (Tim the tool man grunt...) At last.... I find my people....lol

    The diesel rigs handle the change to larger tires much better than the gas trucks. My truck has less power than yours (325hp, 610 ft-lb tq.) and a really bad auto tranny and the 3.73s work well with 37s. I can't imagine your year truck with the powertrain it has not being able to turn 37s with...

    BIG RIGS…. (Tim the tool man grunt...) At last.... I find my people....lol

    I don't recommend a Detroit Locker in a rig that spends a lot of time on the street, especially in areas that get snow and ice on the road. If you haven't driven in a truck with a Detroit try to hitch a ride in one before taking the plunge. My Ram ('06 ISB 5.9L HO and 48RE auto tranny) has...

    Tablet mount show and tell.

    After rummaging through my Ram mount collection I came up with this configuration. I used to have a Scosche magnetic mount in the little cubbie in the dash to hold my old phone, but when I got my new phone I moved it down by my radio. So I pulled the dash apart so I could remove the tiny cubbie...

    The 1st gen 4runners are awesome. I wish I still had my 1989.
