Could you take it to a machine shop and have it hot tanked? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Here is a picture of us not getting stuck." This may be the greatest quote I have seen on this site :elkgrin: "Nice to see another down to earth overlanding rig." Wholeheartedly agree. Please keep sharing.

Very cool. I will follow with interest.

Excited for you. And for me 'cause I get to Web-watch!

They said to put a WINCH on the front of your truck, not WENCH. J/K (wench is an archaic word meaning young girl or woman)

My new-to-me $100 little truck.

Just read through your entire thread (blown Sunday morning - sorry honey-do-list). These are my favourite kind of build. Thanks for sharing the blow by blow and doing it with real life considerations (aka budget-minded). Looking forward to the next updates.

I hadn't heard that the Motomaster Total Terrain WT was disco-ed. I have run them on two different trucks over the last 7 winters and have been suitably impressed. They were very inexpensive, handled wet, heavy-snow, southern BC winters with aplomb. Worked very well on both a 4wd crewcab 01 f250...

Frankly, they are equivalent to v8 numbers of only a few years ago. Really looking forward to hearing...

Check out caravan campers. Used ones are cheap in Nevada and many have double rear doors. They look very sturdy.

Like the black grill and bumper a lot better.

That is a nice looking truck. Congrats!

Any thought of replacing it with a 700r4 and getting overdrive?

I recommend the f250ld or 7700 suspension and axles upgrade as a very simple, cheap and effective way to more effectively carry a load. I haul an old 8' camper and I have researched those upgrades. All a straight bolt-in. I use a set of Hellwig overload springs and they work well, but are noisy...
