2024 Ford F350 Tremor

[brecht]

Hey there! I originally bought this truck to tow a big toy hauler with SXS but life changed so I'm pivoting a little bit. I've been an off-roader my whole life with motorcycles/ATVs/UTV's and tons of bourgeoisie camping with RV's and formal camp sites. Excited to change things up. Tons of great info and ideas on this forum so excited to be here!

I've had this truck for a few weeks now and almost every weekend I've been exploring random trails close to home, even bought a cheap bed tent and air mattress - its been a blast! Bonus points is my daughter absolutely loves it too.

Today I pulled the trigger on an XTR3 bed rack and IKamper 3 but it will be a few weeks out. I plan to use that as my base then accessorize and upgrade the truck as needed so I started this thread to post upgrades and random adventures.

The truck is heavy as all hell - mixed with the 6.7 turbo diesel. Slow and steady for me. Probably more of a safari cruiser but excited to push (reasonable) limits. Excited to lurk other heifer builds and see what you guys do!

Now excuse my very tame and boring photos compared to everyones thats posted lol I promise they will get better with time

Made some progress since the original post. The XTR3 rack that was supposed to take 6-8 weeks actually took 16.

First trip out just to play around with everything was to Barstow for the California 300 off road race.

This last weekend I was out in Mojave on the trail connecting Jawbone Canyon to Lake Isabella. Beautiful drive

Are those rock sliders or just side steps? . I just got my 350 crew cab and have found only one company that builds real rock sliders.

They are just the stock running boards that come with the Tremor package. I don't think they are strong enough to be considered rock sliders

Here is the only place I found that makes them. I'll go with the short ones for the crew cab as I am doing a bed delete and installing a flatbed.

I was struggling to find OEM duratracks for a flat so I did what anyone would do.... replace them all with 37s lol

There's no such thing as "real Rock sliders" for a one ton truck.

You can weld some up, but they'd weigh more than an entire jeep. Adding all that useless weight defeats the purpose of owning a truck.

Plenty of us use body mounted steel steps as a "feeler guages". They offer some minor protection. You can't slam them on rocks or jack the truck up from them. Which is pretty stupid anyways

Those 37's look sweet.

Thats what I've come to the conclusion of as well as we just arent' gonna be going to the same kindof places the cruzer got us to. , the damn things would have to weigh 3-400 lbs to do any good.
