Well i've been away from the forums for a bit but traded in My 2010 Subaru Outback for what i really wanted (and could afford, lol). 2013 F150 FX4. Upgrading the suspension in the spring with a full King setup underneath. Stoked to get it out on some fire roads and explore some more in western NC.

Looks great! Jealous of your area! My dad lives over in Surprise, AZ. Went out to visit him for a few days and was dying to go off exploring. So much more space out west for getting out there. Got to wander a bit on foot in Tanto National Forest.

Our truck is a 2002 F250 7.3L diesel we've been working on since 2014. Currently 160K miles on it.

Mods include:
Drivetrain - 4" exhaust, Airraid intake, Swamps injectors, Adrenalin HPOP, Dieselsite Legendary Transmission with external filtration and additional transcooler
Electrical - 300 AMP alternator, 2 80 AMP hour house batteries, 1K watt inverter, 360 exterior lighting, on board air compressor, additional 120V, 12V, USB outlets front and rear, and tons of interior task lighting
Fuel System - 42 Gallon tank, upgraded fuel pump and filtering, and regulated return system
Suspension/axles/tires - 4.5" front lift with quad shocks, 3" rear lift with Helwig airbags, 4.30 gears, ARB airlockers (front & rear), 18x9 XD wheels with ProComp 37x12.50 MT2, Powerstop calipers, rotors, & pads

Under the camper top we have a raised sleeping platform for the humans, custom tool storage underneath along with space for two coolers (soon a fridge), and a crazy storage drawer and removable kitchen unit. When we aren't out using it, we're working on it. Or something else!

That's a sweet hard core rig you have. Shows lots of ingenuity and hard work. Your a true off roader it appears. I wish you had a build thread to show us more about how you accomplished your build. Thanks for your post.

Nice list of mods. Keep it coming!

Thank you! I have pics from various stages and incarnations along the way. We had a really good plan when we started after years of camping and adventuring with our 95 bronco, so we knew most of what we wanted. Then it was just the time to work on it and the $$ Shes pretty dialed in at the moment, though there is always more to be done right?

Your right but I would gladly settle for what you have and never complain (I know your not) ! I should have started doing this when I was younger and had a lot more money. I'm racing with old man time, hoping to run out of money before I run out of time. LOL

Nice rig, I driving a 1995 Suburban LT 2500 with a 454.
I was thinking the same thing, where are the subs?
I haven’t done anything really to my truck.
I wanted some opinions on whether I should put the money into the Sub, or get something smaller?
Any thoughts?

If you're not into rock crawling, I think what you have is great!

Keep it. You can get pinstripes and not care.

If it's just you or you and a passenger, I think the smaller size is the way to go. If you have a growing family, the larger rig will be beneficial.
There is no right or wrong rig. It's what you like and want. If you like big go for it. I see big rigs at Moab doing the same thing smaller rigs do, so I would never put down the size or the (make) Suburban. It's what you do with it that determines the ability of the rig.

I like! How do you like the DV8 bumpers? I like the low profile hoop on the front. Many of those cover the TSS sensor on mine.
