    Truck bed insulation

    I didn't tape it to the bed, I just cut pieces to fit and taped them together then the bed mat holes it down and at the top its tucked under the bedrail. This isn't a perfect job but with the a number of holes in the bed it's a pretty good improvement. here's a better picture

    Truck bed insulation

    I just did this and we used butyl rubber (because I had some) to seal the holes and I can remove it later if I need. After that I used Bubble wrap and sorta-of carefully covered the inside of the bed so it followed the contours then installed a new bed mat. This will get covered by the built in...

    Are ARB the only player left for simple large frame winch bumpers for 4th gen Ram 2500?

    I've got a m12 in my Mercenary bumper going on 10 years now. Check CJC off road they sell them and quite a few others, they should be able to tell you what fits what.

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    I've been out testing the new bike rack. Have about 500 miles on it so far and nothings fallen off. It's been a slow project taking me more than a year of and on tinkering on it to get it where it's at now. Maybe I can get some paint on it now, but I'll probably just go riding instead.

    Thoughts on Full-Size overland build? 2018 Ram Power Wagon 68k miles

    It is very difficult to put a value on a rig like from a sellers point of view. I have a very similar rig but diesel. 68k is pretty low miles for a 2018. The work and dollars it takes to put something like this together is significant. If you really like this rig, get the best price you can. You...

    Removing Oxidation?

    I used 3M marine restorer and wax with a buffer and the results were excellent. It took a day and a half to get around the 23' travel trailer but totally worth it.

    DIY Swing Arm

    Make it more beef so it can do this. I've been searching for this product for a while and found no good options so I'm making it myself. This one will have another removable rail to carry a second bike soon.

    80psi Tire Options - 35" or 37", 17" rims, 3PMS

    The 37" Yokohamas I currently run on my ram 2500 with FWC are 65 max and I feel this is too much for most driving, even on the highway. 85psi on this size tire is unnecessarily high there are tires that take the load at lower pressures. Just ignore the idiot light on the dash and ignore the...

    Camper and Truck Photos

    We've been really digging our new project M. I've done some mods to it that have probably voided the warrantee so we'll see how that goes. Been getting out every chance we get and just finished two weeks in Utah then to Montana.

    Best Solar Power Setup

    As said above there are a lot of variables but I'll tell you what another amateur (myself) has done. I have a FWC project m bare camper shell that came with some led lighting and a max fan. Since I acquired this I've added a 55l fridge, more lighting and several usb outlets. My power comes from...

    delete

    I am going to do this on my fwc project m and intend to mount it above the door because whenever I have bikes on the back the camera is totally useless. Thanks for the link to the relocation kit, I'm ordering one now.

    D vs. E rated tires on F350 with Supertramp truck camper? Are D's OK to use?

    Here is my experience with my 2015 Ram 2500 diesel, I bought the truck new and immediately put a Carli pintop kit on and D rated Toyo mt 37x13.5x 18 tires. I have not had any issues with running D rated tires, I mostly run unloaded but 25% is towing a 9500lb trailer. The one thing to note is I...

    Project "Autonomous" F-350

    Looks like I'm a touch late with this but let me suggest one more, Sikaflex 1a. I build things from sheet metal for my day job and have glued much metal to wood and this is what works best. If your doing large panels use a toothed glue spreader to get the Sika even with good coverage and...
