2018 Ram 3500 G56 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

Well thank you! We feel blessed to have it, and be able to enjoy the outdoors as we do as a family. Making memories for us and the kids are definitely what dreams are made of.

Good choice with Accutune. @Tex68w turned me on to them, and I'm glad he did. It was definitely a single swing homerun for me. It's about middle of the dampening unloaded, and two clicks out from full compression at my heaviest weight, which is right when we head out. And the comparison to the AEV valved Bilstein is, there is no comparison, but to be fair, it was simply never designed for something like this. It was blatantly obvious when the camper went on, so I had to do it pretty quick.

And between the top of my roof and bottom of the camper I have right at 5 inches. Its not come even close, and I really never see a chance my frame would flex that much unless its catastrophic.

That's the dream, to be comfortable out in the bush with the entire family.
Thanks for that dimension, it looks like far less in the photos.

Great score on the locker, any plans to regear?

I think it is due to the height of the truck and the picture angles. If I get a chance, I'll get a pic of it from a more even angle.

Yes I am regeared to 4.44's, but I will be going from a 16 bolt ring gear in the 11.8 to the 12 bolt ring gear on this locker, which is an 11.5, so I also have another AAM 4.44 set waiting. Should just be a quick drop, swap the carrier bearings, set up backlash and set for pattern. Pinion is the same, so no need to pull it unless I have to shim or remove them.

Went out this past weekend for a few days of some solo camp in Sam Houston National. Was a pretty nice gravel run, and some great hiking, with a chance to play with some photography a bit.

Man, you did an awesome job with that truck. Looking at that most recent pic, I forgot how it started out so had to go back to page 1 and remind myself.

Crazy how far it's come. Great job man!

How's that Power Wagon coming along? Haven't seen any updates on it in a while.

Thanks brother! Still more to go. I hope to get the lockers and electronic disconnecting sway bar in this next spring. 🤞

The PW has been amazing. I've just been using it, so not much to update. I do hope to flat bed it with larger tires eventually, but currently it has been a great daily.
