    OBA - How much does an air tank help?

    The above posts cover it fairly well. I have run OBA on every 4x4 I have owned over the last 25 plus years. Most had a small air tank. My current truck has a portable compressor with no tank. This truck does not have a very good choice for mounting the compressor and tank. I do still have...

    Anyone bolt unistrut to the topper shell roof for an awning mount?

    Thinking about bolting a length of unistrut to each side of my iberglass topper shell. Low profile, cheap mount to add a bracket to for an awning or tarp mount. Any suggestions? Thoughts?

    2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

    I am the opposite. I like the factory Platinum wheels in 20". Got my truck with Black Rhinos on it used. Would prefer some shiny 18's or 20's.

    Plywood bed in topper shell

    Was hoping that in the 50 plus years that I have used one of those plywood bunks that someone might have some newer ideas. I have a tow behind camper that is fully equipped for dispersed camping in comfort. This bunk would be for some off the floor storage and the possible one night stay. If...

    Yeah, I could build one but was hoping for some other ideas. Feel better now?

    Plywood bed in topper shell

    Anyone still use the two pieces of plywood across the bed width under a topper? As a kid this was our bed. Two pieces of plywood about 2 foot wide stacked on each other when not a bed. Side by side for a bed. Thinking of doing this in my 2013 F150 with 5.5 ft bed. I am 5-7" so will need to...

    Skottle lid

    Anyone wanting a lid for your skottle, cowboy wok, discada, etc.... I made one from a cheap, stainless steel dog dish from Walmart. Pick one the right diameter, put a wooden drawer pull knob on it, I drilled a small hole and put a wood screw into the knob. Works well. Think it was a total of...

    Freeze dried hash browns - who else likes them?

    If you are making these at home, 2.5 min in the microwave will replace that 12 min wait for the water to hydrate.

    Corned Beef Hash

    Walmart has a house brand of CBH that I think is just as good as the Hormel brand but a bit cheaper.

    Build - Fiberglass & Foam Truck Camper

    May I suggest swapping that glass fuse holder for a standard auto type blade fuse holder. More vibration proof, easier to find fuses, truck fuses may interchange, some have dust/water proof covers,and you won't lose the spring when you have to open it. You can also test those fuses with a...

    cooking skottles

    Wish I could buy just the burner and bracket set up for my disc cooker. Another use is to put charcoal in the disc and use your 3 legged dutch oven. This gives it a great cooking height, and won't burn the ground cover.

    Any Fully built F150 expedition builds?

    Lots of good thoughts in this thread. I love my 2015 F150 4x4, Super Cab. Threw out the stock junk tires and put on Toyo 10 ply all terrains. Added some step bars to make it easier to get in and add a touch of brush deflection. Adding my serious on board air compressor and tank now. Put on...
