Thanks all for the great comments. I'm OCD as fuck and I don't think there's ever a moment I'm not thinking about how to better the rig for my needs. A few asked about gearing and suspension. Im running 4.88 gears from nitro with an auburn limited slip. Suspension is a 2.25" old man emu mix up with custom alcan leaf springs. Low and tucked on 40s. Only way to do it.

Super nice setup! I think it just convinced me to convert my truck to a flat bed. Love all the storage boxes. Too bad he had a bad experience with the fab guy but unfortunately, not uncommon when doing custom stuff. I'll build boxes myself because of that as well as the cost savings. Seems like a cool dude as well. I noticed he ignored your occasional childish outbursts :). I imagine after being on the road with you for a while it gets tiring. You're probably a fun guy but might want to tone it down a couple notches in your videos. Other than that, your content most of the time is very good and you have great photo/video/editing skills. I just think the whole "overlanding" audience is probably a bit older crowd is all (I, myself am an old fart). I'm looking forward to seeing the other rigs too. Unlike some commenters here, I don't have a problem with these truck review videos. Maybe because I'm building one and love to get great ideas from others but I also think it is cool to see how others do things that might differ from my personal needs. Even doing them in two parts is no big deal. I stumbled across the tour video by the original owner of "Big Blue", the F650 before the current owner bought it. It is an amazing rig! Way cooler than an EarthRoamer at a fraction of the cost. Are you still planning to go with a custom box on your Glad at some point or sticking with the RRT?

Love your site! Totally cool, and provides insight to all kinds of overland setup/applications. Could you make contact with John Burtt for a complete listing of the mods that he has made to his F250? There is so much that is stated in the video, but remains difficult to track down. For example, and perhaps the most important question of all -- the shop that made his aluminum flat bed? The aluminum boxes both topside and underneath the flatbed. The cool gear stored all over the truck. A bit of hassle for John, but I'm sure that a list would be a big help to the viewing audience. Thanks for the video - it opened my eyes to what is possible with a base F250.

Cool rig, could use another couple inches of suspension lift IMO😅 I definitely like the 7.3l Powerstroke they're a solid platform. I wish one of my supercrew cab F250's had a turbo diesel. I plan to flatbed my '94 Aeronose for a flatbed camper for an overland rig. I do love my '85 F250 4x4 4 speed 6.9l diesel but it's a standard cab, like my two other Bullnose F250's. I wish my Supercrews had the opening rear doors. I like the build, I'll definitely take some pointers on my future build.
