@RAM5500 CAMPERTHING Thanks for your clarifications! (y)

Oh, one more detail to ask about... What type of bolts did you use for attaching the camper to the subframe and what kind of extra support did you provide to the attachment points inside the camper (large washers, a thickening of the floor in those areas, etc.)? Do you have any pictures of the...

Thanks for the HDPE clarification. Well, nowhere in this thread and your videos is any mention made of anything having been placed between the bottom of the camper and the subframe - so I take your answer to mean "no." I thought of asking, though, just in case something was put in there without...

I've just finished reading the whole thread for the second time and watching your videos on youtube... WOW!! Beautiful, well-thought-out Truck/Camper and you have provided excellent information to all those interested to do something similar. Thank you for so very nicely documenting all the work...

Very enjoyable, instructive thread. (y)(y)(y) Any updates? Please keep them coming!

Thanks so very much for this information!! Great reviews too... (y)(y)(y)

THANKS!! :)

Hi Brennan, Just finished re-reading this whole thread ... my all-time most favorite 1st gen build thread!!! (y) You stated several times in the thread that the maddogs were mounted on 17x9 5" BS steel wheels (except in your last post you wrote 17x8), but you never said exactly what...

Great, thanks so much!

While the more common route is to go to larger diameter tires, what you did is a brilliant way to get better fuel economy, low RPM's and also keep the wear and tear to a minimum. If it were possible to gear my truck taller than the 3:55's it came with, I would consider running 265/75r16's or...

Thanks for the info! I think along the same lines...preferring a higher payload for doing just that. Would you consider putting 285/75R18 AT2's on your old truck with camper, or do you think that would result in a too low ratio at the rear axle with your current gears?

Thanks so very much as well for your feedback! Sure, I've been considering the 255/85R16's as well. My only concern about this tire size is that they might wear out pretty quickly on a full-size truck.

Thanks so very much for your feedback on the AT2's, it is much appreciated. What's the size of the Toyo AT2's on your old truck with camper?

How long have you had them and I was wondering how they perform for you on wet roads and slightly muddy trails/country roads, if your driving includes any. What's the approximate weight of your truck, fully loaded? Thanks for your feedback, it is much appreciated..

Sure, thanks for pointing this out! They have an E load rating in both the 285/75R18 and 315/75R16 sizes, and seem to be a good alternative to take into consideration.
