Overlanding - Camping | 1983-1987 Ford 6.9L IDI

Overlanding & Camping Gear for 1983–1987 Ford 6.9L IDI Trucks

Your 1983–1987 Ford 6.9L IDI was built to go anywhere — and with the right overlanding and camping gear, it can handle even more. These classic F-Series diesels have the perfect foundation for a reliable adventure rig: simple mechanical systems, strong frames, and the torque to carry gear deep into the backcountry. At Diesel Power Products, we offer the racks, lighting, tents, and recovery gear to help you outfit your IDI for both comfort and capability on the trail.

Whether you’re setting up camp for the weekend or heading off-grid for extended travel, proper overlanding equipment transforms your truck into a self-reliant explorer. Roof racks, bed racks, and cargo mounts make it easy to haul tents, tools, and recovery equipment securely. For added comfort, rooftop tents and awnings turn your truck into a mobile basecamp, keeping you off the ground and out of the elements.

Lighting and power upgrades are equally important. Adding LED light bars and flood lighting improves visibility at night, while onboard air systems from Pacbrake help you manage tire pressure and power air tools on the trail. Pair these with a dual battery setup or auxiliary power system for reliable energy during extended stays.

Because the 6.9L IDI trucks are older, it’s also worth upgrading key support systems for your trips — things like suspension components, traction aids, and storage organization to make sure your classic diesel can handle modern overland demands. Every part we offer is built for rugged reliability and ease of use, ensuring you can venture farther with confidence.
