Same cooling. Same brakes.

Watch our other videos.... we sold it. It was fun but drawbacks

It is a fun one!!

Yes, from actual physical parts that is the difference. Make sure to scale the front + rear axle loaded. You want to ensure tires have enough capacity and proper pressure for load. Caution should be exercised anytime hauling or towing near the limits. Upgrade parts as needed to ensure safety and handling.

We have multiple videos on the interior bike rack (check them out). Slides are not possible as the bikes need to drop and tilt while loading. Lots of test fitting! And adjusting. But we can load/unload either bike in any order. It's tight but works awesome when dialed in and much quicker than most options. Plus secure. Have fun!!! We love interior racks

Good call. :)

Sadly. :(

Very true. We have a limited budget. Basically do these videos for free to help people.

My wife.

@@TruckCamper Sweet! Just thought you looked like a kid in the video!

@bigfootswatching9986 Nearly 40yrs old at that time... gotta keep youthful

I've documented based on similar builds / weight. If you had the exact same truck and tested with same weight hardside and popup camper at the same speeds... you'd find the mpg is different but not by a significant margin. Both significantly impact aerodynamics. Keeping speed under 60mph is best regardless. We have well over 50k miles truck camper hauling with two hardwall and one popup. And documented mileage. Test for yourself and report back. Curious what you discover

Thanks!! It was fun 😁

We air up 2 tires at a time. Wife does passenger side while I run driver side. It also allows redundancy. We had a dual ARB fail which resulted in no air. It's actually faster having 2 separate compressors

Cool. Just curious; Ive had the ARB dual compressor on my Land Cruiser for years with no issues. Planned to use the same on the super duty, but redundancy isn’t a bad idea.

@residualboulders It does make filling quicker. ARB announced their updated brushless compressor. Might be worth checking out

We did add the spacer. Lots of off road (see videos). Ran it for over 20k miles without issues. Removed for the PSC hydro assist. Good feedback for others. Thanks for sharing

It is a fun one! Not sure on your question...

⁠I know ! My question is regarding the things you replaced on the engine to prevent failures. Mine recently got a leak from the radiator (coolant) and I want to do the same you did so I don’t have to worry about any other issues in the future

@christianalexander3904 It's a long list. Essentially all wear items that fail due to age. Think every gasket and anything rubber. Including radiator, water pump, oil pump...

⁠thank you ! I’ll start making a list. Here in Australia parts are not so bad but it will be an expensive restoration I think. Thank you again

Very welcome:)

50amp DC Charger = 50amps per hour 400ah batteries = 8 hrs from zero to 100% Wire size calculator = www.wirebarn.com/Wire-Size-Calculator-_ep_41.html You can run multiple DC chargers. But need to size wiring accordingly. Oversized wires is safe. Smaller gauge wires will heat up and be a fire hazzard. You also need to install proper fuses and disconnect switch to keep be safe. Make sure your alternator has enough output for whatever load you want to add. Otherwise it will burn up quickly. Most of the older generation vehicles have much lower alternator power output as the electrical demands decades ago were much less. Do lots of research if doing it yourself... Otherwise find an experienced 12v electrician.

Shocks and springs are from Old Man Emu (OME). Part # can be found on ARB website. I don't have links as this was from 6yrs ago

True. And propane detectors should be replaced every couple years.

I just noticed this is your third most popular video! Clearly people want to know more about this awesome SUV

Sadly no... We sold it. Definitely missed. Sooo fun! But we do have a 2dr Bronco now. It is equally fun and more off road capable. We may do some videos on it....

Fun and rare!!!

That's awesome, welcome aboard!

Not sure what your concern is. We ran this setup for 40k miles towing, hauling, off road. Worked flawless.

@@TruckCamper good to hear- i just know from off roading tires get kicked back real hard sometimes and it seemed very close - glad it worked out!

That could be. But typically on compression or front impact. Due to the control arms being in the rear... as the suspension compresses it pushes the tire forward. Also, in general high impacts would be with the wheels in somewhat of a straight forward position. Cycling the suspension fully like we showed is the best method to verify clearance through the entire range and steering angle.

It would be extremely similar. We've looked at most of the models. Any popup material does little for sound or insulation.

Looks are subjective. Function and components are excellent on the Super Duty. Just works.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.. :)

Very welcome! FUN is the best description for the 2dr Rav. Sadly they were not popular new which makes them near impossible to find today.

Agreed. They can be setup to be plenty capable!

That's a cleaver idea. Might be helpful. :) The big challenge is off road where the camper and truck are not level. We can quickly 1 shot load in the garage. Outdoors gets a bit interesting with extra factors like wind.

We kept it in the middle range. Fox has a frame spacer & longer bolt available (contact customer service) this will help reduce the angle if lifted. Getting it turned properly is crucial to keep it from binding check full lock turning and compressing/extending suspension and turning. I've seen these snap off from improper positioning. Ours worked great but we did take extra time / testing to ensure position.

It fixed the problem. And so much nicer not dragging the trailer. Clearance is essential. We've hauled it off road and through washes, no problem

Haha - makes sense to me :)

Thanks for sharing! Keep us posted on how they work. :)

Very Welcome!

In 2002 the block in the rear was 1 in taller from the factory

Haha 😄

No plans or fees. It is just amplifying your existing cell phone antenna. Essentially giving it a much increased range.

@@TruckCamperthanks

Still big into off road... We built 2 other rigs since this one sold. Just have been rather occupied with real estate projects. We plan to get back to sharing videos but realistically they are not the highest priority as they are time intensive and don't produce much financially. But we do enjoy sharing info and helping people which the videos are great for! Thanks for watching.

We owned the truck and camper in 2016. Since then have owned two other truck campers. FWC is fine for what it is (although expensive). Tundra was a great fit for the camper with upgraded suspension and tires; although anything heavier requires an HD truck. Our current truck is a Super Duty and it has much greater capacity

Especially simple and light weight. More fun than modern space ships

We averaged 17mpg. Best was nearly 20. Worst was 14mpg.

@@TruckCamper Great!

That sounds like a project!

They are! It's fun to find them. We had to bypass one section due to active fire. Otherwise, we got through. Electric pole saw was rather useful. :)

We had issues once... The shop put the weights in the center and the caliper knocked them off. Put them on the inside of the wheel or outside offset of caliper zone. Works great!

They might help with taste but not a functional filter for health or water quality concerns

Keep weight low to help with COG. No issues with proper suspension. We have an electric pole saw for trees and use it plenty to cut through as needed. Plenty of water fill opportunities - our 40g tank will last 10 days typically

Not sure what that means. But ours has been excellent.

We had one payment. And we custom ordered the truck. We chose exactly what we wanted. Video is to explain the physical differences which is nearly nothing. We did swap all the suspension and we did post videos on modifications. I do all the work myself.

Depends on conditions and speed. 10-12mpg is average for road driving under 65mph.

Off road will vary. On road 10-12mpg keeping speed under 65mph. Not bad considering the modifications
