Ok hold on right there. You did ALL of those mods AND tested them out in Moab and you're not posting pictures for us? :tonguewink:

How cool is that! The truck disappears behind the awning. lol

For general overlanding I vote the 1/2 ton truck or even a mid-size. If you planned on more rock crawling type stuff then the Wrangler. A truck is super versatile and as long as you choose your trails well (or mod it appropriately) it will take you just about anywhere. It will also be much more...

Young Jedi, that is a skill I will help you master. :)

For those of you on HD chassis, how do you soften up the ride off-road besides airing down? I'm talking about Suburbans, F250/F350 type vehicles. On our recent OB trail run we had a couple of members that suffered from a really harsh ride on the rocky trail and I was at a loss when trying to...

I figured it was something along those lines. I've considered having a 2nd set of wheels/tires with a shorter and lighter tire for long trips where I have zero need for an LT 33" tire.

Nice build! Curious about your switch from Wildpeaks to KO2s. Was it due to size availability?

Yeah, the bottom of the shock playing peek-a-boo through the botttom of the control arm is bad for proper handling. LOL

Most of it. Whatever is left may just be the bumps in the road and these E-load tires because overall everything feels pretty smooth on new pavement. Unfortunately the brakes still squeak although that too is better. I'm going to try lubing the pads and see if it works now. It used to work on my...

LOL the carnage! Maybe that clanking noise wasn't coming from my truck afterall. :tearsofjoy: So glad you 3 came out!

She got to play lead vehicle on the first Gold Country OB group trip! :smiley: We had a great turnout! Right after the trip I had the rear driver side axle replaced under warranty (bent from the factory) and the front alignment done. I asked the tech to add a little caster to the driver...

My OEMs were so shot at 50k they wouldn't extend more than 1/4 of the way after compression. LOL

Can't wait for the rest!

I just finished up Ronny Dahl's Simpson Desert trip which included the Madigan Line. You're not kidding about the flies! I'm sure I would go absolutely crazy. Can't wait to follow your trip this evening after work. :)

Curious about the switch from Fox to Bilstein as that is usually the reverse of how most people do it. :) I'm running the opposite setup of a progressive front and digressive rear and I hate the way the rear end feels.

Is the iKamper logo stuff printed upside down on the cover?

Very nice. :smiley:

Thought of you. Extruded aluminum.

I wanted to pass along a "few" tips for those new to off-road adventure in an effort to help you prep beforehand and to make the trip more enjoyable. :) *note, there are sooo many other "overlanding basics" lists that tell you what should have on hand like recovery equipment, first aid kit etc...

Sweet! Did you clean up the seal really well before screwing the light back in? :)
