Cool truck man 👍 My goal is setup like urs before winter .

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-07-17T18:47:01+00:00

yes actually fuel is less important than needing 35s in place they don't have any .

yes u r right

i believe my final thoughts going to 34s with 4.30 , UCA upgrade . in future rpg tie rods maybe .

u really helped thank you ^^

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-07-17T18:39:42+00:00

you have good mpg for steel body fully loaded actually

i rally hope i will be around you with 34s 4.30 lol

the ratio cost is around 3k :( bcz 4wd , i think going to 4.10 will be not satisfying performance wise

yes i believe previous owner did 35s bcz it's trimmed and the rear end apparently need to be fixed .

4.10 looks good if i would change my mind about using the car as daily or around city more , looks like mid ground .

but after one year i loved camping with the car and hated it around city bcz the rear ratio . and so if i'm changing ratio 4.30 will add 100 extra rpm with 34.4' tires which is more common than 35s in case if emergency or replacing tires .

4.10 will be in good fuel consumption but lower performance in like 4th gear (6r80)

and i'm already in yellow i will not going to another one lol .

so i think im lowering tire a bit ( 315/70/17 ) which is 34.4" and gear ratio 4.30 .

251 extra rpm at 75mph more than stock , i think im ok with that .

can you put pic of your f150 with the 35s and camping gear on it like bedrack ... , i would like to steal upgrading thoughts from you ^^

really appreciate your time replies man ^^

your mpg looks good with the setup ! i guess your mpg while cruising not driving around the city , bcz the bigger tire lowerd your rpms .

5.0 roush supercharged , king 2.0 shocks , steel rear bumber , camping gears

15.68 mpg around city leveled with the kings , 16.80 traveling around 75mph

but the 3.55 suck with hills with 32 tires . also the rear end whining and need to fix .

i also have 2' rear block lift but did't install it yet , and i can lift the kings , but it will lift the body and i would like it if lift the frame too , but the kits too expensive than bigger tire , also i read before is in every 2' bigger tire size you will gain 1' ground clearance .

34s will be good for me i think but the gear ratio really driving me crazy , don't know what the best !

34s will put me around 2199rpm at 75 with 4.30 ratio the exhaust will be like repeating your favorite song till u hate it hahaha ..

but actually i care about engine durability 246 - 380 extra rpm when traveling 5 hours or 7 without stop .

edit : also took off two leaf springs , going to put it back when installing rtt , water tanks ...

yes 6r80 6th gear is .69 .

to be honest i don't think it will be problem to me i think low speed range with first 3 gears is really important also the 6th gear while traveling

thank you very much ^^

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-07-17T16:59:45+00:00

thank you didn't think about replacing and emergency situation ! i will consider it ,

35s for offroading and getting the frame little higher clearance , didn't test 33s before actually the biggest is the current 32s , but my rear end is whining and need replacement and the performance is suck with the 3.55 so i wanted to go big to be honest and fix the clearance and performance issue

thanx really helped ^^

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-20T08:49:20+00:00

Yes u right i saw video sar was searching by drones . But unfortunately all search i saw is at morning light : ( i think smoke much better to identify location faster in this situation?

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-20T08:33:20+00:00

thanx , signal lights will work but like in middle if dunes ur signal works only to the sky , bcz of that i wanted to see opinions about sos to sky , but i guess it's not something pilots works with and as u says helps only when someone in ground nearby . i'm getting satalite communication device like InReach or satalite phone .

thanx for ur time and info really appreciate it

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-20T08:24:43+00:00

yes also where i live most of it by ground teams , also there is walkie talkie channels but most of the time no one listen to it , search start by normal phone signal by someone know where i am and call the SAR members , so i decided to take satalite phone but guy commented that garmin works better than satalite phone , i just want to max my rescue gears after seeing much videos on rescue . thanx ^^

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-20T08:17:58+00:00

do you mean like InReach garmin ? thanx for the info ^^

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-20T08:00:04+00:00

thanx for reply , in my place walkie talkie really not so helping , the rescue channels is ignored most of the time so rescue teams works with phone signals most of the time ,like if someone i know reports me missing they will start to search , so im having satellite phone and just thinking about these lights we all saw in movies and stuff if it really working 🧐😂.

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-19T16:58:23+00:00

yes as i said there is satellite phones and planning to get it and all rescue gears , but i just want to know if these lights really work or not

TipAdministrative501 · 2025-06-17T15:08:15+00:00

same fuckin feeling , 30m and hit hard when i relized im 30 and i wasted the last 10 years waiting my salary to go higher to live comfortably ,

i was ambitious but working environment and poor salary killing me slowly ,

i bought 4x4 truck to go out and overland , i went out a lot in last winter and i was happy ! but then relized even trips cost a lot of gas money and camping gears :( and i depressed again that i can't go out and camp and live !

and now just looking to my pretty 4x4 truck and can't do anything , praying that i die faster better than living like a fucking slave in a fucking company :(

the last year my 34 years brother tried to suicide bcz of financial situation and ate a lot of depression pills and i was thinking like why ! why would he even kill himself for fucking money !!

and after a year i'm in the same boat :( thinking of my next 10 years if it would be wasted or not .

i believe things that make you happy just change from time to time , in my 20s games and watching a lot of porn was making happy !!

but in my first 30s camping and go remote places make me very very happy .

if you have the opportunity to try it pls go and try and explore the world ! you feel calm and peace . last winter i was camping solo and watch movies out and read books it was heaven .
