Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

[DBAR]

Taken me some time but I finally got good tires on my truck. Owned it almost a year now with no major issues. Bought some rims earlier this year and about a month ago I scored me a somewhat used set of 6 BFG KO3's. Hoping to get a chance to do some trails before winter gets here. For now here's a shot of the truck.View attachment 295451

Nice looking rig! Those Yukons are roomy. I like the BFG ATs. I had them on my Jeep for a few years. Got any other plans for it in the near future?

Thank you! I am going to install a light bar up front. The lowbeams are alright but the highbeams in these aren't any brighter than the lows. It's just more economical and simpler to install a light bar than to try and find a better headlight for this model. I'll probably make a new thread in the build section once I get the light bar installed and get some first hand experience on some trails to see what else I feel I need to add.

That sounds like a smart move, Nick. A light bar will definitely make a big difference on the trails, especially with those dim factory lights. Looking forward to seeing your build thread once you get it set up.

Oh, No! There's a Chungus among us!

This is a recent addition to the fleet. My justification for buying it was that it would be a good tow rig. My focus has quickly changed to building it out as a full size overland rig.

If you’re in terrain that will fit it, that would be a comfy setup with plenty ‘o’ room! Love those.

I took her out for her first test run on an easy forest service road two weeks ago. She's got fresh shocks, new tires, steering has been overhauled, and a Detroit Truetrac installed in the front axle, to compliment the factory rear e-locker.

Awesome, thanks! If you've got any other 'must haves' pass them my way!

For me at least, a must have is a winch. At a factory 8800lbs, I need to pull myself out if need be. I got this one one off Amazon but I was disappointed with it so I modified it. It is a 3 piece, bolted together yet the seams were poorly off. So I welded it, used bondo and then a bed liner cover.
Now I love it!!! 12k winch fits perfectly. Then I added a wireless controller so I don’t have to fit my hand down that tiny hole while in knee deep crap!!! If you want the parts list, I can send it!

Yeah, I have all the recovery stuff planned out already. I'm going to go with the Badland Apex 12k. It's served me well for the last three years on my Jeep. I'm curious more about platform-specific "must-haves" for the F-250.

Tools and spare parts would be next!!! Besides fuel and water, my biggest weight issue are tools! Then a bigger tranny pan and pressure valve. Some parts I carry are simple, like the ABS wheel speed sensor cable, axle u joints, one axle, driveshaft joints, etc….
