1998 Ram 1500 Expedition Truck

Snorkel

Built a snorkel for the truck out of 3 inch exhaust pipe with a pre- cleaner on top. I modded the factory filter so it hooks up to it.

Dual Batteries

Finally added my second battery to run everything.

Decals

I went to get some decals made for the truck. The large ones are reflective, also had them make me smaller ones.

Rear Tire Carrier Table

While i was out camping i realized that i needed more work space for cooking and etc. So i build a rear table on my tire carrier.

Broke Down

So i did all this work on the truck during March break and it was running fine. I made it about 2 hours away from my parents house and she lost power on the hills, i could feel it misfiring and not running on all cylinders so i ran her the last 20 minutes to my house were it stayed. Next day my dad came and picked it up to take it to the shop. All said in done i had burnt spark cables, clogged cat, bad sensor and also needed a wheel bearing..etc but shes back on the road.

Trailer extension

Having a small trailer is nice but i really want to haul my atv around whether it be for camping or hunting, so i decided to make a few modifications.

 

[EastCoastExpedition]

Since i have extra tires that are the same as my truck i purchased some wheel spacers as adapters for the axle. Also in case your wondering why the tube is smaller at the back its because im keeping the original frame on the trailer and just welding it to the new one.

Quick look at the trailer before the frame goes under it.

 

[EastCoastExpedition]

Got the frame under with the wheels on. Also made the ramps for the bike.

 

[EastCoastExpedition]

Had to fab up some fenders seeing as no wheres sell fenders for a 1986 trailer on 33's

 

[EastCoastExpedition]

threw the old Mule on to see if it would fit. Sure enough it would, sticks out a little to much for my liking but will work for short travels anything long ill have to take an atv.

Picture of the ramps acting as walls, also finished the floor with plywood and outdoor carpet.
