Congrats on the Kid!! My oldest just got her first acceptance letter to college.. CSU.. proud dad!!

I have lots of great pictures.. unfortunately this site makes it very hard to upload and I am bit challenged when it comes to technology.. For any of you out there thinking about a Baja trip.. make the time. It is quite the experience in my opinion. I wouldn't call it a vacation as travel can...

Thanks for all the replies.. Now, how do I do it.. haha..

Curious if there is a way to do this? Just want to add a way of trickle charging while driving without adding an isolator?? Is it possible? recommended or not? Why? We have a set up that only power used is for led lights and fan, doesn't use much power. Spent 3 weeks in Baja and set up very...

http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/16057-picked-up-a-project-90s-granby/ My build thread.. maybe someone can help me ID the year with the blue stripes... don't think its 90's are originally thought.. someone told me they thought it was an 80... but who knows.

Well.. did a big Baja trip in this.. 5000 miles and nothing broke.. truck and camper got 15.9 mpg for the trip.. Did a few finishing touches before we left.. lifter struts, curtains. etc..

Do you have pics? Curious what a 77 looked like

I think mine is an 80 Granby.. but also completely re done..

no worries, enjoy the new truck!

Curious.. I have a 14 F150 Super Crew 6.5 bed that I am looking to part with for a truck like yours.. any interest in thinking about a trade of some sorts. 5.0 liter with 66k.. airbags, rancho 9000 and ready for a camper (we have one, but use it sparingly)..

Camper .. older Granby (not sure of the year).. completely built from frame .. no frills and built light (under 1000 lbs) .. all LED lights and stove inside, counter top, benches, no water or heater (easily addable) New upholstery and slide out bed .. can set up lower bed as well .. everything...

I have an old Granby we re did.. I thought I was going to keep the siding as it had a few holes.. just depends where they are.. It is installed top down, typically with 3 pieces.. impossible to get top one out without removing bottom pieces. Its pretty cheap to get new siding, maybe $350 for...

Welcome! I am fairly new to the FWC game but am already on my second. My story.. got a used older Fleet 7.5 for our F150 (6.5 bed).. bare bones and light. My wife and I spent about a month in Baja in it last winter with our 2 dogs. It worked out well, we were not over weight (damn close...

Its the 6.5 bed, the biggest you can get with the Super Crew in an F150.. The truck has the standard payload capacity (1570 i believe). When loaded we are under the vehicle weight, but just barely.. (thats with 2 adults, 2 dogs and gear.. ). Truck averages just over 18 mph for its life so far...

I have an old Granby (totally gutted and restored) on a 14 F150 SC 6.5 Bed.. Ours is very light, less than 1000 lbs.. We have the 5.0 motor and very little gas mileage drop until you hit 70 mph + I leave the tailgate on because I feel it needs support. We try to put a ton of weight in the...

Man.. my wife is a ninja with a sewing machine.. and has 3 industrial machines.. do not fool yourself and think it is easy, it was the hardest part of our build by far...
