    2001 Dodge Dakota Superduty Chassis swap camping rig build

    It really doesn't get any cooler than that. He will remember building this with you for the rest of his life. Is there such a thing as a Dodge Dakota purist?

    Truck camper winch advice

    Was it this form that had a massive online argument over snatch blocks and if they really do double the pulling power? Anyway, OP, I imagine the warn 12S will do what you want it to but wanted to comment and say if you want the bigger winch you can go with a removable winch that attaches to a...

    Bilstein 5160s

    Getting rid of the block on my truck made the biggest difference. Worth every single penny.

    Bilstein 5160s

    Deaver supplies them with leaf packs for their various kits, but that's the only affiliation. The owner of Deaver is named Jeff and is a solid dude. Last time I was at their shop they had 2 or 3 custom campers like yours they were working on. Also had some old iron and some race trucks.

    Bilstein 5160s

    Do all the above with the specific shock valving, then call Deaver and have them make you a custom set of leafs. This will also remove the factory block. This x10000. You're what, 150k into the build? Why not spend an additional few grand to make it significantly better?

    Truck Camper w/ Kids

    I've been in the same boat for quite some time. I also have a 2 and 4 year old. We have been fine with a large tent, blow up mattress for Wife and I and then two play/sleep pens with slumber pods over them. Tight fit with our tent but works very well. I think if/when we upgrade, it will be to...

    Factory single cab Gladiator with a Morgan Olson aluminum box

    Awesome. I want to see something like the AEV Outpost Jeep camper thing AEV made a few years back. That would be so awesome.

    8’ Callen Cabover Camper

    Good luck with the sale. Off topic, how stable are those cot bunk beds? I've seen them once or twice and they look kinda cool. Seems perfect for kids.

    Onx questions

    Correct, each device separately. I do not think you can "transfer" the maps like you say but if you have service, you can just download the new one you need for the next portion of your trip. Depending on the storage space on your phone, you can download quite a few different sections. What I...

    25 F150 Tremor vs 25 Tundra Crewmax TRD?

    Not that I am biased, but a built STX is still significantly cheaper than a higher trim F150 or Tundra. Buddy of mine has a Tremor. He paid 70k for it 2 years ago and still had to throw in some suspension to get it to what he wanted. I got my STX pre covid for $32k and have put maybe $13k into...

    Is Your GM Truck or SUV “Spying” On You?

    Your data gets collected, bought and sold hundreds of times a day whether you like it or not. Everything can and will access your data. Your car can even collect data from open apps on your phone. Crazy and fascinating stuff. My wife works in data privacy and the stuff she tells me blows my...
