F150 Overland build

[Raul B]

Sweet rig, Raul - your F150 looks really good. Do you ever get into any tight spots that perhaps a fullsize shouldn't be?

I have been close but so far so good haha. When planning trips I make sure the trails are full size capable. My main issue is me height and tree branches rubbing on my rtt. Right now I'm at 8'-1" to the top of my rtt.

That's why I only lifted my Jeep 3". I do envy your carry capacity with the fullsize.

Yah that's why I only leveled the truck and added 35's. Thank you for the compliments on my build... Starting another build on my hybrid awd suv soon :) . Should be interesting.....

Will keep my eyes out for that, will you be posting?

Yah I may start a new build thread on it. Not looking to go crazy on it. I'm doing it to inspire people to just take what they have and go find adventure. Seems like we all get caught up on building our rigs but rarely take them out...

Can't agree more. It's all about the adventure.

Got a set of prototype awning brackets for my leitner design active cargo system in the mail today. Going to be mounting the new cvt summit series awning..... Pictures to fallow once everything is mounted.....

I think I'm in love.. That's it.. I'm buying one. Damn you.

such a great rig & worthy mods you've done so far

Very nice.
We have the same truck which the wife mostly drives. She's thinking about a car again and I need another vehicle as my xterra is getting so built up, hate to use it as a DD.

May go this route for another build. Drooling over all the nice long travel suspension kits out there[emoji857]
Either a bed cage or a pop up camper ....[emoji848]

These trucks are sooo nice to drive!
Absolutely love it.

Added some more goodies to the rig today...

We did a Q&A on our facebook page about the truck so I did a quick video to help answer some of those questions..

 

[Raul B]

Dropping off the truck at true bliss customs for some prototype suspension stuff that will get done then headed back to mercenary offroad for some more goodies. Trying to get the rig ready for March's Mojave trip....

I'm late finding this thread, but man would I love to run a miniature version of this drawer/rack combination. If only Decked made drawers for smaller trucks! Thanks for sharing!

In Stock form I was getting about 19mpg. With everything on my truck I'm getting 16mpg

I love the build! I'm looking to do something on a similar route.

When you put your 35's on, what did you change your gear ratio to?
