    Shell vs RTT for camping with fullsize

    got a new ram 1500, crew cab, 6'4" bed, and currently have an RTT. Ive thought about a shell either by itself or with a decked system. Trying to decide if the shell is worth it for overland camping. I keep my fridge in the cab with my dog and can put whatever else in there like stoves and things.

    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    I just bought a 2020 ram 1500 and will create a mild build thread soon. Wont be too much to add, as it's a solid platform (though a bit long!)

    Locker only works in low range doesn't it?

    You don't need to do anything special. If you are in full 4wd, with the locked center diff not awd, then the rear locker will work. It will work in 4 hi and 4 lo but not awd/4wd without center diff locked.

    Are montero's slow?

    Like I said before, 0 to 60 time Should be around 10 seconds. If it's not then you have something wrong. It seems pretty obvious there is a major issue. However, I am high skeptical of someone being able to spin the tires at 7k elevation

    Are Montero Sports reliable?

    Maintenance is key. Timing belt kit will likely be required unless you've got records of previous work. Off road they will be similar to other 4x4s except more durable and not as well geared for rock crawling. The parts are a little more spendy but not like a Euro or anything. Make sure the...
