Had my first random encounter with a member at a gas station a couple of weeks ago. Sweet rig, nice guy.

Quick status update: Still waiting on the RSI Table and platform rack. 3 Months now. lol The Shrockworks winch plate should be shipped this week! Really looking forward to having that little extra peace of mind with us. We've had the rig out camping 6 times this year so far. Here's some...

The axles may indeed be tiny, but the optional turbo engine bumps towing to 5k. Pretty big Jon boat. The only potential problem I see is it having a single speed transfer case. No low range. (This probably comes right back to the CV axles) Ford is going to sell these as fast as they can...

Spent Memorial Day weekend at PINS. (spent the next week cleaning sand out of everything.)

Finally weighed the truck in a ready to go state.... I'm flirting with the gvwr of 6k. Time to sort through the tools and gear and find some headroom.

Installed the Old Man Emu springs this week. Pain in the butt. The poly bushings put up quite the fight and I had to modify the centering pin on the drivers side spring to accommodate the leveling shim. The springs are part # EL121R which are for a constant 300kg (661 lbs) in the bed. The truck...

There are two a/c exhaust vents on the back of the cab. I ran mine out there and up to the top. If you go this route leave a loop of the cable going down on the outside of the vent so that water doesn't follow it in.

Finally mounted the propane and strapped down the water Jerry. I added the hose to the lifesaver jerry so that it can stay where it is and be used. I wired a charging circuit from the switch pro's to keep the Bluetti's charge topped off while driving. The switch pro's module is programmable...

We use it. Keeps the floor of the tent clean. It cleans up easily once it's dry. Helps us pick a good spot for the tent as well. Lol

Still waiting on The RSI Table and platform rack to show up. In the meantime mounted some frontrunner load bars so I could get the awning up and in service. Spent the weekend out with it in light rain and winds, performed awesome! The Awning is the Bush Company 270 XT.

Had ours out as well this weekend.

Scale crawlers are always a good bet!

Well, I went with the switch pros for this build. Time will tell if it holds up, but the programming is surprisingly useful. I was able to set up one of the switches to be on when the truck is on and off otherwise. Pretty much eliminated the need for a charge controller to maintain the bluetti's...

OME springs are ordered, but it may be a bit before they show up. Roof rack and table for the RSI Smartcap are also out in the shipping nether still as well. Shrockworks winch mount is expected mid May. I decided to go with a Bluetti AC200P with 400 watts solar for the power for the fridge etc...

The 12v fridges really shook things up for us. No more soggy food, and the first sip of a cold one doesn't ever taste like potato salad.

We've ordered the 2021R springs. 600 lbs. constant load, with stock ride height.

Looks like the TAT will have to wait a bit longer for us. A new contract landed (good for us) that will prevent the required time away. I'm going to watch you guys and live vicariously through you all!

We've cooked dinner on it twice this week. The stove is pretty high up but other than that it's awesome. Keeps the majority of the kit handy instead of buried somewhere in the back. I'm not a big fan of the food spatter on the side of the truck though. Lol

The rack is getting a Bush Company freestanding 270 awning, Maxtrax, the gmrs antenna, and lighting. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/posts/542304/

I have a build thread with the Ranger with the RSI going at the moment. Waiting on the stow away table and the roof rack to show up, but I have the kitchen installed. It's awesome! (Wife needs a step stool to see in a pot. Good thing I'm the cook.)
