I’m really liking that front bumper. I may have to hit them up to see what their eta on a ‘24 version might be.

Added a splash of color to the interior yesterday to offset all the white. I'm picking up the cushions when we go to Boise next week. Much less to have them made there than in the Bay Area.

Getting closer ....

Nice!!!! That looks great!

That’s a Bison right? Did you do the interior build yourself? It looks really good.

Here is mine I just sold. This was before lights, bumper, and fenders. Another one coming !

Sold the camper? What are you moving into next?

What bumper is that? It does look good and if it takes a standard winch that might be a killer option. I don’t mind the Ford winch but jeez it’s expensive.

I sold the 450. I have MCL surgery this winter and I needed something smaller to be able to manage. It had a Carli 4.5" eventure lift with all the supporting mods to do the single conversion the proper way.

Is that vinyl or that spongy rubber stuff?

AFN. Not cheap, though the bumper plus a winch is probably the cost of Ford’s winch option. Plus you get a nice skid plate and it sounds like it comes with fogs and turn signals.

Expedition One front bumper with LP9 (not fully aligned). The new owner (Will) is a really cool guy. He hit the road as soon as he got it.

Yes, it's a Bison. Cabinets were built by Dustin at Vice Customs. I highly recommend Dustin if you need an interior designed / built. I'm pretty sure he'll flat pack and ship to you if you want to install yourself. I had him install the cabinets as, where I don't mind doing systems work, I hate doing cabinetry. The cabinets were made from material from a new plywood vendor who's product is (so I was told) 30% lighter than what he had been using. He also had to find a new laminator that would work with this plywood. Dustin is great to work with and does great work.

Spongy rubber stuff for boat decks. The adhesive backing was nasty stuff. I don't look forward to the day when I need to remove it to change themes or because it's worn out.

Trying to get the interior completed in the next 60 days so we can give it a shake down in Baja for a month or so before its gets on a boat in May to head over the Atlantic.

That is a great setup! We should be roaming around Baja about the same time. Maybe we'll bump into each other. We are thinking of maybe shipping to Europe in a couple years to tour around a bit. I'll message you with a question or two on that separately if you don't mind.

Digging the f450 with the super singles... Might be our next Super Duty... Turning radius sure be nice.

That was always the reasoning for us. HUGE difference.

It should be landing very soon. I know there were only minor tweaks to make the 2019-22 bumper work with the 23 and up. We were involved a bit in the develiopememnt stage because we wanted/needed to run a warn 16.5 winch, not just a 12.5 etc so a little rework to the winch cradle was required. I have been around many high end premium bumpers as a result of being in this industry and I can confirm this unit is STOUT. Love the Buckstop stuff too, but it didnt quite fit the look we wanted on this particular build.

Nice!!!! I remember looking at those FIFTY10 campers with Brian from Goose Gear a few years ago, (maybe 2018?). Massive inside space! I can’t wait to see the finished product

Exactly. Goose Gear was supposed to have the interior finished back in May.. Finally in August after my truck being gone for 4 months to put just the camper on, I picked the truck up (it was still fully empty) and said enough is enough. Im tired of not having my truck and figured we would build it out ourselves like we do with our sprinter customers. Itll turn out better but the point of this vehicle was NOT to built more... It was to go out and USE more... hence why the ST would have been an easier solution. We will see if we love the camper once completed. If not, we may order a 24 with a ST. But we are happy so far. Beautiful truck and the 50ten turns heads like nothing I have ever seen -- which I will admit is the point for a soon-to market company rig

If anyone is interested these are the before and after measurements for my F350 Tremor from all 4 corners. These measurements are from the ground to the inside of wheel well at the highest point. Before is obviously the truck stock with 37” Toyo’s installed and after is with the Supertramp installed.

Front Driver
Before: 42.5”
After: 42.5”

Rear Driver
Before: 45.5”
After: 42 5/8”

Front Passenger
Before: 42.25”
After: 42.0”

Rear Passenger
Before: 45.0”
After: 42 5/8”

According to my CAT Scale readings the truck gained 120lbs on the front axle, and 1740lbs on the back axle.

That's a cool ass floor! Don't drop anything small on it though

Yeah, that's a sick ass look! Like those off road boom trucks the power guys use

Ask and you shall receive!

Grateful for flat mount Starlink solutions (which we sell folks) which allow us to now work from anywhere. I'll make sure to post some photos once we make some more progress on the interior.

God I love this truck.
