$55,000
Located in Hattiesburg MS
I purchased this F550 from a small town in KY. It took me over a year to convert it to its current state. I've put about 5k miles on it, driving it home from KY and also driving it on a 950-mile round trip to Overland Expo East. EVERY door locks with the key fob.
Reason for sale: the small dog in the pictures. He’s not very happy traveling in a single cab; he’s used to a crew cab and being able to get in and out easily. We’ve had a few arguments because he gets tired of being cooped up. I already have my next home/project underway.
I have the maintenance records from the last owner, and the major components (engine, transmission, transfer case) have all been replaced in the last 100k miles. It is deleted with a mild tune. I haven’t had any mechanical trouble from it. It still has a small oil drip when parked, 1 or 2 drops. Small drops. I previously had a faulty dipstick tube but have recently repaired it. It needs a new AC clutch. I disconnected the AC during the conversion; when I vacuumed and refilled the clutch, it made noise, so I decided to skip it for now. I’ll be working on this in August.
Systems:
100Ah at 48v (5.1 kWh) server rack battery. Second battery spot is already in place; I just need to purchase a battery. 3kW EG4 inverter Victron Shunt and Charge Controller for 900W of Bifacial Panels. I've achieved over 1000 watts in perfect conditions. Secondary inverter to provide “DC” charging while the truck is running; it charges at 21 amps and takes 5 hours to fully charge from zero. 9k Btu Mini Split.
Insulated to 3” in the walls with no thermal bridging and 4.5” overhead. It will stay as cold as you want it if you don’t mind using the power. I've been able to get 4 days off-grid running the AC without external input in close to 100-degree temps. I can go indefinitely in cooler weather if it’s sunny.
42 gal Fresh Water, 4 gal Coolant/Electric Water Heater. I haven’t used the coolant portion yet but it’s hooked up. 18 gallon Gray Tank. I empty it twice then I have one shower left and I have to find water. Typically this lasts me a minimum of 10 days and up to 16 showers almost every day.
Full Shower, Laveo Dry Flush Toilet, Onboard Air, Chinese Diesel Heater, Founders Super Singles, 12k Winch, Plenty of Storage, WeBoost Cell.
I have more room than I need inside, and I’m carrying every tool I built it with in the compartments. Outdoor Bar Fridge inside, outside has a 45L IceCo for a deep freezer. I pull 3.5A when both fridges are running; 1.8A if everything is off.
Needs: Trim around doors, drawers, and kickplates. I have plans to delete the auto air ride and go manual. I would add another outlet near the bench and one in the rear. The main run is there; just needs a decision made on where and to run. Hook up the other scene lights; I have the one by the entry door automated. Needs “garage” floor. I have matching tile, but I was planning gray coin style. I can add an ADV bike to the deal for the right price.
