Epic! Thanks for sharing, including the solar use report. Pics always welcome!

Great information, thanks everybody!

On a silly note, I opted for the manual 4x4 shift-on-the-floor on my F350 due to my very own Pauli Effect where electronics seem to tweak out in my presence. Not a big 4x4er but I'm safety oriented and when I can I opt for manual...and keep me away from your phones, computers, etc..I'm famous...

Oh nooo...and Ventura is lovely, went down there for the first time last September. Hope they contain it soon

Congratulations! Nice going on the dream rig. Ditto on action shots :)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for bottle jack and air compressor recommendations - FYI for 2017 Ford 350 w/heavy camper ( and so tall! ). Willing to pay more for a longer lasting, safe jack. Asking around where I live hasn't yeilded much info, plus the nearby auto parts store had not much at all...

Hold on Sage...I need my glasses on to read your lips from this distance..

...when your glasses ( driving ) keep knocking your hearing aids off :blink:

Great catch!! Overcooked fish...sounds like you got salmon jerky with a charcoal reduction :blink: Glad you got one AK out at least, but hooboy

This isn't a mod per se, but I picked up a combo belt/bottle opener and haven't travelled without it since! $12 in some places online, I got mine - which should still be under $25 - at REI with a gift certificate, so in my case it was free. Says 'unisex' but fyi for anyone looking I found it...

Fabulous!! That looks like a blast.

Woah that is WAY too over the top with the birthday candles, Rusty! Seriously I'm glad you guys made it out okay! Many blessings to your family!

My last minute 2 cents...years ago my bff moved from Portland OR to Oklahoma City and we drove the route, didn't have a lot of time ( but two drivers helped of course. ) Went through eastern OR spent a night in Ogden Utah....another in Zion National Park...stayed just outside and drove through...

This is excellent information Lighhawk, thanks so much for sharing and I'm passing it on.

I will be putting the padding over a thin storage area to hold the ramp, but hadn't thought about extending the padding upwards, which is a GREAT idea! Totally doing that. The ramp is portable - folds up like a thin suitcase - and we've started to practice with it at home over the stairs...

Yup, exactly the type of net I'm thinking of! :)

You're spot on, Pack Rat. I want make a low platform where I can store the dog ramp ( tall truck, dog w/bad knees ), then his seating/bedding above that. He has a car harness already, but I'll have to figure out how to utilize that sans the seats. Another member w/dogs has put up a strong...

That looks fabulous! Congratulations !

Any day now!!! Been a delay. I'm going out of town again for an arts festival but upon return will begin my campaign of dealer harassment :ph34r: Can't wait. First thing I'm going to do is take out the back seats of the extended cab and create Dog Kingdom. If anyone wants some Ford '17 seats... ;)

I did all of the above, thanks everyone! Looks like I can combo the components. Another factor I was thinking about is the curve of the Alaskan roof: I drive a '02 Civic and putting the rack on top of that was a minor debacle due to roof curve - and that was with a 'pro' installer ( another...

That looks fabulous. Congratulations and am looking forward to seeing the progress!

Hi everyone, I've had a surf rack on my car for ages, and now for my camper I'd like to configure a system that can carry boards and/or a kayak. Are different brands of crossbars compatible with other brands of kayak mounts, for example? Or for example's sake, does a Yakima only work with a...

Truck in September, Alaskan after that! Won't bore everyone with details, but after (over)thinking some more, to my surprise I chose diesel. Absolutely thrilled this is coming together :D

Congratulations on the wedding and the truck!! I just ordered a very similar setup - F350 xlt - and it's great to see how yours turned out. Also got the 4x4 package, I like that manual shift option too. Thanks for sharing! Pic please when your camper's on it :)

I've loved this news! I'm aurora obsessed and could have seen a 'Steve' without knowing it. Of course this is now my perfect excuse for chasing the aurora more... :P The power of Steve indeed!
