Sweet rig! I bet you'd be popular at rallies. Probably the first invitee for every convoy!

That's a good lookin' truck.

The front room is the same dimension. The zip-up panels that cover the screen panels do sag inward a little bit so you don't have quite the distance between walls without touching. A nice feature is the backdoor means you can go out at night for calls of nature without tripping over kids in the...

EDIT: With my access to a small utility trailer, I'm going with a cab and not thinking twice about it, but if you don't have one that HAS to factor into the consideration. I don't have a dog in this fight, I don't mean to come across as a Paladin for Truck Shells, it's just a decision I've...

if #GreatWhiteBuffalo is intending to permanently install the RTT he'll have the same issue with the rack as he would with a cab, may as well have the security along with it.

I'd skip the drawers. Any system I've seen except for some people's custom built ones make for a lot of wasted space. I was checking out a guys rig at a campsite one time and he had pull-straps on the hard cases he had against the back wall. It seemed like a very simple solution.

You were clear, I misread. :flushed:

I second the camper shell, if you fill up a rack with permanent fixtures your bed becomes more and more inaccessible anyway (the pods would be nice to stash stuff, but when you need a truck bed for a truck bed you know what I mean), with a shell at least you've got all that space. You could get...

Gone is the "Full Size" Bronco, they were on an F-150 frame. Based of the Ranger frame these bridge the gap between the classic and the full-size. I'm curious to see if they make a 2-door version with a shorter wheelbase. I suspect the lack of 4 doors was a big reason for it's prior demise (not...

I'd be sketched out doing a recovery from the trailer end, it's one thing to pull a vehicle dragging a trailer vs. pulling a trailer dragging a stuck vehicle. Can the coupler/hitch handle that or am I overthinking it?

Going out anywhere at this time practically nation-wide is disobeying shelter in place ordinances. Sure, arguments can be made about the impact of being relatively isolated in a wilderness setting to the spread of Covid-19 but you have to consider the potential of exposure due to the unexpected...

Maybe to get an idea what you can expect from Ford is to compare suspensions in an F150 Fx4 to the raptor and maybe that will tell you what they intend for the Ranger/Bronco when they put out the "raptor" versions. I would expect to find your best options in the aftermarket scene though.

I hope in the next few years I can teach myself to weld and work on a project like this. Looking great!

There are a ton of options for what you are looking for at americantrucks.com but I'm pretty sure these are all bolt-to-body step/running boards. There is a bolt-to-frame rock slider made by white knuckle offroad, but they might be more than what you're looking for based on your statement.

I was completely sold on a TRD Off-Road 4x4Tacoma but a nagging thought just would not let me pull the trigger. I knew it would be a selfish purchase considering I have a wife and young son that enjoy camping trips. However, I had a list in my mind of features I wanted in the truck that would...

yay, can't wait to pay for that shipping to Eastern NC.

Those are sweet! Great looking truck. I've been keeping an eye on their site for when they release the model for the 2019 1500 quad cab 64" bed.

Gotta love simple solutions!

You're looking for a "Thermarest Z-Lite Sol". Cheap, very packable, and very well insulating. It's foam so nothing to worry about leaking or going flat on you overnight. I do not backpack without it, it's served me as a pad while hammock-camping. [edit] Don't forget the "Sol" in the name, the...

One more thing to check, jack it up and rotate the wheels, make sure there isn't any unusual resistance in the spin, maybe have a bearing/lubrication issue. I'm assuming you don't have trailer brakes to check on that thing.
