I bought the 2000 TJ with the intention of Overlanding with it but since it's been in the shop for upgrades I've been using my 2017 F150. I was wondering if anyone else has been using a full sized pickup and what you've done to outfit it to overland?
Hey everyone,
I am looking at starting an overland rig and I am currently looking at the 2017 F-150 5.0 and Ram 1500 5.7 as the possible choices. I was pretty set on the F-150 since it has the reputation of being rugged and seems to have a lot more aftermarket support compared to the Ram 1500...
I currently own two rigs and I want to consolidate and focus on building one of them. I drive a minimum of 25k highway miles each year, but I also spend a lot of time on rough mountain and desert roads with moderate rock crawling. I generally travel with one other person and a dog.

4 wheels have Nitto Trail Grapplers (35 x 12.50 R17 LT)
4 have BFG KOs (315/70R17 LT)
$300-$500 each...
So my truck started as a 2012 f150 CCSB 4wd with the 5.0L engine. It has since received the following mods:
Leveling kit
35" general grabbers tires on OEM raptor wheels
Hidden winch mount with 9500lb wing with synthetic rope
AFE intake and exhaust
Edge insight gauges and tunes
