Hey there Harry. Just picked up a 78 f250 and would like to go the general direction you went with this 77. I’d love some guidance on order of operations as far as the build if you have a minute. Would like to be efficient as possible and not have to backtrack doing unnecessary work. Thanks!

I really like my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Sahara Unlimited one of one thousand....Except I have had very expensive electronic repairs and the transmission either drops down a gear at 45 MPH or out of gear. and sometimes won't shift into high gear and cruises at 3,000 RPM at 45 MPH....It has less than 98,000 miles still has the original spare and never been off road....Other than that....Lol....

So the mt64 is good out of the box for a “heavier” bumper? Or does it need a different spring.
@HarrySituations
@HarrySituations 2 ай бұрын
Old Man Emu is only offering once spring rate now with height adjustments on the shock body. This results in less part numbers for vendors to stock but I do think if you have a winch and steel bumper a higher spring rate is valuable.

@@HarrySituations You know I've only had vans, but I'm more and more interested in truck campers. Trucks have better off-road abilities. Campers like the 4 Wheel Campers and the SuperTramp campers give you everything a van camper can but with better camping spots. You can also keep your camper and just change the truck. The vans have better gas mileage (usually), but the reason we have our Recon is it fits in our garage in L.A.! We keep going to Overland Expos and looking for our next rig in retirement.

They are 285/70R17 (non-LT) Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 17x8.5 SCS wheels. I think that the softer sidewall of the non-LT tires really helps with the ride compliance on things like washboard roads and embedded rocks.

FWC does offer a bolt-in option but mine has turnbuckles to the four corners on the camper that allow you to easily remove it from the truck bed with jacks. I don't like to leave the jacks on because they have the potential to get ripped off on the trail.
