As for ththe drawer system. I would suggest a diy to save money the premade ones are crazy $$ if you ask me. Or...

    RAM 1500 with the 8 speed tranny?

    The higher milage of the 5.7 hemi comes from the multi displacement function(under minimal load it only runs 4 cylinders). I know of 2 people close to me that had big problems with the tcm on the 8 speed but both were covered under warranty at the time. Hasnt recurred. As for me personally i...

    For a beginner, what should I build?

    My thoughts get caught up on you talking about axle binding. The only noticeable thing with 4x4 on should be a slightly wider turn radius and that bounce at full turn.(which is the joints binding/ speeding up and slowing down unless its cvs). I can drive my truck on a hot summer day in so cal...

    Seventh Gen Suburban?

    With out hards fact but a ton of inference based on previous gens. I would say no. The 3rd row would have to come out if you want to have anywhere enough room to sleep. Or fold flat if it does that instead.

    Lets talk security

    I have both had my vehicle broken into and stolen before. (Separate vehicles). My sheriffs department suggested that the most reliable anti theft device besides a lojack is a well hidden kill switch. On my square body with plastic cover on steering column this is a must. Also don't assume a...

    Coddiwomple_couple 7.3 Diesel Mountain River Shuttle Build

    This is genius and I'm taking this idea. Also consider looking into move bumpers. They send you all the pre cut steel and you weld it yourself. Way cheaper than prefabbed alternatives

    Longest sleeping platform in a truck.

    You aren't going to find any gas truck that gives you 20 mpg. In that price range you're looking at a early duramax Chevy or a early 2000s dodge Cummins. The Ford's in your price range have to many common problems. I have a LB7 duramax ext cab short bed. I'm 6"1 and have no trouble in it. The...

    Full size trucks on jeep trails advice

    I love to surprise jeep guys by meeting them at the top of a trail in my 2500hd. Width can be an issue but like has been previously stated a good line and spotter can solve that a lot of the time. Here in So-cal i dont run into tight trails that often but i have had to turn around. Some scuff...

    BoldAdventures 2015 Power Wagon Build

    Towing Question - Need more Power!

    That's pretty normal for v8 options in 3/4 tons. They normally have same engine options but beef up the suspension and gearing. Personally i have a 04 silverado Duramax extended cab with a shell. I dont tow a whole lot but i do camp a ton out of the back. Although it can be a headache sometimes...

    2017 F350 Rock Sliders?

    Running boars are most certainly not even remotely a good substitute for rock sliders. Although rock sliders can double as running boards. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Stock Vehicles in the Wild ???

Last trail run i went on there were more than a few expensive rig with expensive mods that gave me that are you sure...
