So as the title states, this is what we want to do. We picked up this rrt from a guy who used it once - we had it on my old truck and we love the thing. So that's why we want to put it on our Subaru Outback. The problem is, if you look at the Subaru OEM bars, man, they look super flimsy. Here...

Sorry to hear about the bad luck with the jerk hit and run driver. That sucks. I am, however, excited about your flatbed build. I'll be looking forward to the options and cool stuff you're going to add to your flatbed and camper. I was wondering, was your camper covered by your standard car...

I'm really, really leaning toward those ST Maxx tires - I'm getting a 2" leveling lift and then I'm going to get some beefier tires on there. I don't want to go with huge tires (definitely not going to 37" tires) - but I do like more sidewall for airing down in the sand (4x4 for me is mostly...

Your truck looks SWEET with that XPTruck Tray! I already know for sure that I'm never selling the truck and flatbed - I'd sell the camper but I'm not selling the flatbed.

Thanks! I really like the truck but have only used the 4x4 option once so far (Owens River, sticky mud) and never used the locking diff. feature. I'll be down in Baja the first three weeks of June, the last week of September/first week of October and for three weeks over Christmas break (I'm a...

Yes - those were the tires a friend also recommended to me. I will definitely give them a look over. Thanks man!

Hey moto friends - swoop these up. I bought them thinking I'd swap my knobby set back and forth with these street tires. I put brand new tubes, and tires (Shinkos) on this wheel set and used them once. Now they sit in my shed crying for somebody to scrub off the chicken strips. I'm in San...

Thanks Sisyphus (keep pushing that stone, man) - and thanks for the offer. Check this out: I'm hosting some guys $60k + brand new, doesn't even have plates yet, diesel, 4x4 crew cab, leather, 2018 F250 (btw the Ford color "blue jeans" is way more awesome in real life than on any brochure) in my...

That's so RAD! I'm 49, my uncle started taking us down to Baja when I was like 8 or 9, he'd eat turtle soup in Ensenada and stash tequila, mezcal, rum and kahlua in all the little hidey holes in my grandpa's '63 split window Westfalia - we'd sit in the back hiding the contraband from the customs...

I installed a Victron BMV 712 with battery shunt today - drilled a 2" hole into a pristine silver spur cabinet... thankfully it all ended up nice and cleanly finished. I'll take pics and post 'em tomorrow. I have to say, it's kinda fun turning things on and off and seeing how much they draw on...

Thanks for the tip - I'll look into them. The stock rancho shocks seem kinda mushy - I'll drive the heck out of them until December than will switch out to something a bit more robust.

Thanks! It would be a couple of long days of driving, and I might have to play hookey one day (high school chem teacher) but if I can convince my better half to jump in with me we might do it. If I do, I'll PM you - I'm really curious about your rig.

Yes - just a matter of time on the tires. I'm going to leave them on for the next three trips I have coming up: 1 week fly fishing up in Sierras (mostly road driving so might as well burn in the OEM tires), 2 weeks Montana (again lots more pavement pounding), 2 weeks central Baja (mild...

GOT IT. Sorry for the delay folks but I've got my new camper! Had a couple really long days getting up there to Prescott and then getting the camper installed. Here's some quick pictures: A quick review of the F350/Camper combo: I wrote this on another forum but it's still true here...

Me too.... going nuts waiting for it!

It's DONE. Booked my flight up to Sacramento, flying out of San Diego at 6am, hop on Super Shuttle and I should be in Grass Valley around 9:30am... then it's probably gonna be time to pick my jaw up off the floor. Check it out: That's a LOT of aluminum cabinetry. Marc added some...

Hmmm I don't know how easy it would be with the bolt down Four Wheel Camper - I was reading somewhere that lining up the four holes for the bolts is kinda tedious. I'm not taking it off the flatbed so I didn't get the camper jacks. We're a motorcycle family so I'm thinking I'll have a moto or...

YES FRIDAY! Ok I'm booking my one way flight up to Sacramento for next Saturday morning - Marc says that truck will be ready.... big boy toys are so awesome. Somebody was asking about a fifth wheel set up - I found this photo, which I especially like because it's a white Ford same flatbed that...

HUGE PROGRESS! Check out where we're at: That truck tray is making my tires look tiny... uh, oh time to hide the wallet. It's a trundle drawer, it's a fly tying table, it's a bbq stand, it's an autopsy table... There's a lot going on here - check the hidden storage in the bumper...

Thanks - yeah, I'm really excited for it. I've been camping in Baja for almost forty years - I'm ready for a little more comfort. The flatbed is expensive. No denying that but in the end I've got exactly what I want to serve the exactly the purposes that I want. I've been thinking about this set...
