Full Size Dodge Thread

[toyotech]

Just read this entire thread. Very cool rigs on here. I picked up a 2006 2500 in December of 2012 looking like this:

Got some ideas, worked wtih VMI in Bellingham and built it up to this:

Not too many truck upgrades, it came with a bullydog tuner, so I left that on as I liked the adjustability it offered with some of the truck settings. I run the tow tune most of the time

Fun in the snow a few years ago up at Snoqualmie pass. Looking forward to more snow this year.

Still a work in progress, but it is fun and this site really helps me spending money, I mean with ideas!

Any info on this? Build thread? Interested in the bed/topper. Love the side doors on the bed side

There is a 'build thread' in my signature link. It is a VMI creation. Storage was key for this concept. Full side storage boxes can hold up to 6'0" surf boards and tons of play gear.

My 1998 24V QCSB

There are some slick rigs in this thread, holy crap!

Here's my basic old gal. 1998 24V 5spd QCSB 2500, Emerald Green Pearl. I got this in Feb 2015 off a friend because: 1) I'm a mountain biker so it would be sweet for trips, 2) it was a below-market value 'buddy price' compared to a stocker even though it has gauges/programmer/inejctors/exhaust/BJ's all done, and 3) because it's AWESOME and I've always wanted a stickshift Cummins.

When I first got it, didn't do any changes for a while just daily drove it (still do) and took it offroading with some friends in the Squamish Valley area to see what it could do (first time owning a truck let alone a diesel 4x4).

Pretty soon after, I took it on a long roadtrip with 6 people inside the quadcab, with the bed full of food, booze, tents, games, and firewood (collected on the road in).. that was the smoothest-riding it's ever been hehe..

Since I got it I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted it to look like: leveled out (turns out 2.5" spacers on stock springs is too stiff IMO) with black steelies, knobby 35's, body-painted flares, and 3rd gen hub caps (although I do keep going back and forth about whether to keep it blacker with no hubcaps)..

And as it sits today. I think spring plans will be Thuren 3" soft rate leveling springs, Carli progressive full leaf springs, and Fox 2.0's all round.

Our 1997 Dodge 2500 CTD with a FWC Grandby, affectionately known as Darlene. We've been full time on the road for 9 months and while we love our rig we're considering downsizing to a van. Unless someone can talk us out of it (and/or help us to make her a bit quieter than our custom exhaust that the PO put on) we have her listed for sale here on expedition portal, but even as I type this it makes me sad.

Here's how our truck looked this weekend. We have to wait for the AEV flares and bumper yet before we can install the rest of the wheels/tires.
Coming along though.

Nice straight truck. I like the camper and wheels too.

Just picked up a new to me 2006 1500. 2in front lift, HD rear springs and air bags. Custom front bumper. Well used but well loved!
It probably wont change a lot while I'm in school, but it will certainly be used for some adventures. We're already planning a spring break in Utah!
