I have a Rocky Mounts Back Stage like pictured. It is a very nice carrier, but it is nowhere even near heavy duty enough to handle more than 50 or so pounds. My advice would be to reversa engineer one using heavier materials.
I would however be concerned with the totality of the weight hanging...
Bumpers don't possess any magical qualities. An impact hard enough to do meaningful damage to suspension components won't be averted by a bumper, unless we are talking about some massive unit fabbed specifically for that purpose, which (A) is not what the OP asked about, and (B) I wouldn't hang...
I understand and agree with that largely. Interestingly you can get a rear locker in a 1500 Tradesman, but not the 2500. I'm trading a 2016 Tradesman 4x4 6.4L on the PW, and honestly the conventional Tradesman without a locker, but with adequate tires is a very capable vehicle.
Ford has...
I didn't read the entire linked thread in fact very little of it as it looked to me like they want a PW that retains the 10k rating which just isn't possible. I understand what you're saying and it probably has a market although I don't know if it has enough market to justify it.
The Tradesman is a 60/40 not a bench.
The entire premise of the thread on the outdoorsmaniis fflawed . You simply can't get the articulation without changing spring rates, disconnecting the sway bar etc. He's wanting his cake and eat it too.
Yeah, to me that isn't a third option, it is just additional gadgetry added to the same Power Wagon trim.
A 3rd option in my opinion would be a Power Wagon equipment package on another trim package like a Big Horn or Laramie or whatever.
One of the things that kept me from ordering a Power...
Most simply put a "Power Wagon" is available two ways.
As an equipment group purely adding functionality and only available on Tradesman.
And as a trim level, which add a bunch of creature comfort and technology items, but no additional functionality.
The only limiting factor is your ability to moderate and maintain temperature.
Wind is your primary enemy in this endeavor, immediately followed by the low thermal mass of "camp" cookware. Both can be addressed.
You don't have to be off grid to practice with what you have. Personally...
Has anyone applied Lamin-X to these lights?
If so, did you disassemble the light to get the bezel out of the way, and what size did you use 5.25"?
I really want some protection for these things and really DON'T want to have to install/uninstall the covers every time I want to use the lights...
I'd keep what you have and pull a tarp to cover the rear hatch.
Put a swag in that area created by the side wall and awning and you're golden.
I really, really like the batwings, but what you've got going there looks pretty usable as it is.
