I just replaced my stock OEM's with the Falken Wildpeak AT4 several days ago. My use case is recreational camping, overlanding, part time nomading, and everyday driving. About 5% of the life of the tire will see off-roading.
Since I had very good luck (only two simple repairable flats of 2000...
I have one but it takes too much room for part time Nomading for my liking. I'm using a tarp and tying it to trees, the truck, or trekking poles. A simple tarp has many uses and using it for camping is one of them.
Love the pictures and your adventurous spirit.
Thanks! My inspiration for this was tons and tons of YouTube videos of people doing this in cars and vans. I couldn't find one single video of anyone doing this on a pickup.
My very 1st truck was a 1976 F100 with 8' bed. It had a cap and bed platform.
If I had a longer bed than 5 1/2, a...
I'm using a Dometic 55IM fridge. It wasn't cheap, but since I bought a lot of stuff the year before at REI it was a lot cheaper. I also use a cheap microwave and just recently replaced my dual propane burner cooktop with a single induction cooktop that is not effected by wind when I cook and...
It's just a simple 3/4" OSB platform with six 2x4 legs equally spread across 3/4 of the length of the platform. The legs in the front are 8" tall and the other 4 legs in the middle are 6 1/2 inch tall. Since the bed platform lies flush on the truck's floor next to the car jack no legs at the...
I made custom window coverings for all 6 windows. They have reflectix on one side and matt blank vinyl on the other side. Especially on the East Coast I sometimes have to use rest areas that are too public.
Yes. A rear belt monitor fault Service Required message on the dash that I have to press the okay button to clear. Also, get the SRS icon light that will stay on, but it isn't annoying. Not a single chime..that's a plus!
Getting ready for a solo multi month cross country road trip to visit National Parks and hiking. Was thinking about a roof top tent, but this fits my needs better.
Removed passenger side front and rear seats.
Built a platform bed
Cut a twin size 6 inch memory foam mattress to width
Funny story. I have a Military Lifetime pass, but guess what. I couldn't get 50% off camping even when I showed them my Military lifetime pass and drivers license that showed I was over 62 years old. I then purchased a lifetime senior pass to get 1/2 price camping. It didn't make sense to...
A quick update. Seats removed. Now when I start the truck I have to press the okay button to acknowledge that there is a rear belt monitor fault and service is required. The dash also shows a lit icon in the tachometer portion of the screen and a ? mark for seat belts. Once I press the okay...
It's amazing how versatile the supercrew can be. There is a lot of space inside. I've slept inside the truck in the rear seat area for over 50 nights since 2021, but I would have slept better if I could stretch out more comfortably. If my measurements of the cab are correct I'll have about...
I want to remove my passenger front seat and also the small passenger rear seat in my 2021 F-150 supercrew, put in a wood platform bed and memory foam mattress, and sleep inside the vehicle for a couple months while I travel the USA.
1. Will the safety systems still work for the other seat...
Just changed my spark plugs for for my build 2 2021 Powerboost. The owners manual provides only a part number for a tapered seat spark plug used on earlier 2021 trucks, but my 2021 truck was built using a gasket seat spark plug with different motorcraft part number. Trying to order motorcraft...
Compared to 2021-2023 Platinums
- Tail gate looks much better - I like the clean look.
- The grill looks great.
Not a comparison to earlier Gen 14's... just my opinion on badging in general.
-Ford should remove the Platinum badging on the hood. It shouldn't be in your face just like it...
Fake news in my opinion.

I had a sound like that started about a month or so ago, but in the last week or so I haven't experienced it. It happened to me when using Android Auto and my Samsung S23 Ultra. More specifically, it was when the Sync 4 display tried showing the camera view or if you manually tried to display...
