I think he was just dreaming, became infatuated with the idea of the 'exp' lifestyle, lots of talk about winches, bumpers, 37 inch tires, and dont' forget the snorkle, realized at some point when reality hit that it was probably not for him and got out with only having to sell the 40K Dodge Ram...

"bulletproof" is a buzzword for the gullible, no vehicle is 'bulletproof' even the venerable, and highly reliable Cummins. The "bulletproofing" was done to address the many design flaws with the powerstroke motor. Don't forget when it comes to injectors, with the powerstroke you are buying 8...

Jeep provided details in his build thread the last couple pages cover the weighing of the camper.

I will take the bad ball joints(fixed with lifetime warranty Carli's), and bad tie rods (replaced with EMF rod ends) in place of the fuel hog 8 cylinder CP4 high pressure oil head gasket blowing 6.4 any day of the week, and I don't care if pulling the cab was meant by Ford engineers to make it...

I have no doubts that what you are saying probably increase the engine life, especially with all those modifications, oil additives, bypass filters, the "bulletproofing" etc. For someone that likes the tinker and work on their trucks they may not be as bad as their reputation makes them out to...

Are there many high milage original motor 6.4's? I haven't seen any but would be curious how many are out there. The Cummins also doesn't seem to have the problems with ULSD like the CP4 pump Fords and Chevy's. Whenever I have looked under the hood of a Ford I am amazed that people can...

He sure doesn't instill any confidence in a potential owner, seems like they are always taking the heads off those motors from all generations, not to mention there is two! instead of one. I hear high pressure oil pumps mentioned a lot, the bosh CP4 also doesn't sound that great either. Add in...

Haven't heard of many BJ failures on the new Rams, although Carli is in the works of coming out with some.

I haven't been able to find any confirmation that the Edge will be able to force a regen cycle on 2014+ Rams. If anyone is able to confirm it can please post here. Thanks.

Beautiful wheels! Are they 20x11?

Where are you finding LG panels that weight 16 lbs.? Are you sure that is correct. I am seing around 38 lbs. If that's true, I would to pick some up.

with a service body expect the camper to be extremely tall unless you plan on modifying the boxes, most standard stock slide in campers do not fit well with the service body. You could also save some money or use it to upgrade the camper by eliminating the bumpers and winch, both items that...

Another thing to keep in mind, if running the AC or larger high amp appliance from the genny, the 2400 will be quieter than the 2000 since it doesn't have to work as hard.

I know the weight sticker on my camp says 1985 lbs. I know it is a lot more than that especially with the 24 volt solar panel, and not sure that weight sticker includes the AC. Still not too bad, at least it's not 4000 lbs! I am looking at getting a 1 Ton truck though and it would be nice if I...

SOAZ, does the the bumper swing out with the motorcycle on?

I have a yamma 2000 genny, it runs my rooftop AC but not micro at same time obviously. AC is Coleman I believe 9000 btu it will charge the battery at the same time through the converter but only at a few amps otherwise if batts are really low the genny shuts off. I would go for the 2400 if it...

Any update? This rig looks capable of around the world travel to places like Africa and Asia.

You would have to wonder then why people would fuel up their truck with furnace oil. I am assuming they made a mistake at the pump? All offroad diesel sold in Canada is ULSD according to wikipedia

Not sure on cost, but you might be better off having someone local fabricate one. It would likely be more heavy duty, the review of the first posted rack said the welds looked poor. The second one says it's rated for 500 lbs, so maybe a better option.

Really curious to find out what tires you ended up going with since I am considering a 3500 Ram C&C with singles.
