while not a Tremor, I changed from a Tundra to a 21 F150 Lariat last year and have been in build out since. Love this truck. Current setup is a 2.5" Radflo Suspension, RCI fulls skids, a Go-Fast Camper, and modular deck system with slide out bins in the rear. Some added lights, a midland...
I'm also currently working on my 21 F150 build. Been waiting for suspension parts for months, but started with a few items already. I think it is a great platform (have had a JKUR, 4Runner, Tundra) and am super excited about the F150.
Trail Premium as the starting point - asking $34,000 OBO
Located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Overland ready (tested and proven) 2016 4Runner trail premium.
This vehicle originally purchased when we lived in New Mexico, has been to the Mojave, Death Valley, the Alpine Loop (several times)...
I agree that both are good choices for sure - it will really come down to how you plan to use it. Both will hold a RTT no problem, but I went with the Front Runner (3 times: JKU, 4R, and Tundra) for the increased versatility of the accessories: the RTT mounts, the awning mounts, the shovel...
I just started a similar build, with a 5x10 so I can take the dirt bikes too - I did the axle flip and got better clearance. I might go to a taller spring shackle as well.
I believe those are the wait times to get back in - I crossed out at West and it took like 2 minutes - back in at West was 3 hours, but that was right after the 1000 race.
I am likely to cross out at West again - and now I have sentri lane to get back in, looking forward to using that.
the turnout on this thread is terrific - let's get a roll-call on who is def in and who is a possibility. Please reply following this thread with in or maybe so that we can start locking in the who part of this planning.
I agree with Ken - the dates work pretty well for meeting in San Felipe...
Ken (and everyone) - my apologies for not checking the messages back sooner, thanks for the replies! I would maybe need to delay the start and meetup (either on US side or in San Felipe) to the 28th. We are leaving Albuquerque on the 27th and are waiting for some east-coast OBers to make it...
i use compression bags from REI for my larger single mummy and my double bag - yes, the compression bags will get the small enough to fit in cases (or backpacks, etc.) but you won't want to leave them in there for storage or long term. Plus, you want take the bags out well in advance of when...
nothing planned yet specifically - I've been down before but didn't make it very far due to working in the 1000 at the time. All the way to Cabo is fine - my wife and kid can fly back from there to make it back for School if needed.
the Tepui tents I have, have pre-drilled mounting holes for the tent mount rails can go in either orientation. Like said above, it's the mounting rail orientation, not the tent itself. I would be surprised if the other mfgs don't do the same as Tepui with the either direction mounting.
@Lanlubber I agree with all of your points in this comment - I agree that all to often people spend money before seeing what they actually need, however, it is their money and there shouldn't be an indictment when people choose to do so. We've had a joke around the OB Ambassadors and with...
Your first post was ridiculous and not helpful at all. Maybe be constructive instead of destructive. Not what this community is about Sir. Your fixation on costs could actually be beneficial if folks could see beyond your assumed indictment of how people want to spend their money.
