What's your best Weblo tent story? :)

[@onemansthought]

Cool that Parnell joined you on the trip! Love the beenie "COOKIES"!!!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Most excellent! And those scenic shots at the 3:30 mark, amazing. I am a Power Wagon guy, but I gotta admit that tailgate ladder thing, that Ford has, is genius. Have fun!

[@SocialPants]

Thank you! Those power wagons are bad ass too

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

@SocialPants maybe one day my rig will be as decked out as yours. Very cool stuff.

[@stephenkramme7063]

What a great conclusion to all the previous troubles and worries. The smiles and laughs at 7:14 and 7:44 makes it all worthwhile.

[@WolfOverland]

OH NO... You have to go to MOAB 😭!!! WHY DOES IT RAIN EVERY TIME YOU GUYS GO?!? Cleared For JUMPS!!!!! LETS GOOOO!

[@SocialPants]

I know right!

[@zackdemundo]

Ok mike...i give up...i found the gobi rack episode...and i think the rear tire carrier....buy cant find what front bumper your running....everyone i find for first gen had the winch shoe horned into the grill area....looks like yours is a bit more out front🤔🤔🤔 thx

[@SocialPants]

Front bumper is a Warn bumper. It works great. It does lower approach angle and doesn’t require moving intercooler. I’ve basically only used it (the winch) to rescue others (nothing wrong with that)- but thinking about changing it out for better approach angle. I have no idea what that would be yet.

@@SocialPants ok thx...i have a 2010...no intercooler....but looks easier to instal✌

[@IcyReaper]

So do the new springs also increase your payload capacity ?

[@SocialPants]

Additional payload was calculate for water and other items that is typically carry- so basically, yes.

[@westsidevadios]

Having issues with the 2020 raptor with the super cab. Over the rear we have the decked system and the go fast camper. The truck is suffering from the Carolina squat BAD! Will Replacing the springs remedy the situation?

[@SocialPants]

I’m pretty sure that will fix the issue. Get a proper weight and have springs made- you’ll be glad you did. Buy once, cry once. The longer you carry that weight on the factory springs, you’ll also start wearing the pinion and wheel bearings. I just had to have mine replaced. They were starting to make noise just before I had these new springs installed.

[@tomkelly3896]

Looked like 6?? Or 7 leafs in the pak....what roof rack you have on the cab? Thx

[@SocialPants]

Yeah, they are beefy. I run a Gobi rack on top. No drilling!

[@imbdileva]

Question.. I have a 2018 F150 and am looking at the same type of upgrade? My set-up is very similar in weight and accessories... price?

[@SocialPants]

It’s custom to the weight you are carrying- ping [e-mail] and he can help you out! Tell him I sent you :)

[@darrenboone681]

You should have someone make a knife or knives out of that leaf spring it would be a great moment tow

[@SocialPants]

Hahaha true

[@onemansthought]

What did you forget or drop?

[@SocialPants]

Haha Good question. I'll do inventory soon. :)
