    Need opinions Lance/Northernlie/alaskan/Northstar??

    Two options I have come across recently. They are asking 12K or so, maybe they would take 10...It seems like it would be roomy inside which is a plus. http://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2012-Livin%27-Lite-TC10-113386057 This looks like a nice bigfoot asking 18k, maybe I could talk them down to...

    Need opinions Lance/Northernlie/alaskan/Northstar??

    I can't afford new, especially northern lite or bigfoot. A 2015 1500 series bigfoot is around 38k. I also plan to use it for more than one trip. I would likely use it for work, at least until I got a trailer. I work 3 month contracts at different hospitals and I am given a per diem pay that...

    Need opinions Lance/Northernlie/alaskan/Northstar??

    Do you happen to know anyone, or have links that I can learn more about the leaks issue? I am having a really hard time finding any reviews on them. I did speak to one person to drove down to Panama and back with one on a dodge dually, and he seemed to think highly of them, I know he purchased...

    2008 F450, motor swap, multi purpose truck.

    Waiting to see the P-Pump that goes in there. Those things are a work of art, I love how they are all mechanical, pure genius.

    F-150 to carry a hardside camper

    I don't understand the laws regarding your german license, but I highly doubt in the USA the police would ever say a word if you drove a one ton truck on the highways here. I would go for a larger truck if you can, especially since you are looking at putting a camper on the back.

    RAM 3500 drw to srw

    You could also buy custom wheels from 1st attack brush trucks. They have converted cab and chassis dodges to single rear wheel.

    Ford F550 vs. Ram 5500

    I think you are going to really like the Ram with Cummins motor. Did you get an auto or manual transmission?

    Need opinions Lance/Northernlie/alaskan/Northstar??

    The 830 is for a short bed right? I have a long bed 2500 Dodge, so don't think that will work. I will have to look into the 1040. edit: can't find a single 1040 for sale.

    Need opinions Lance/Northernlie/alaskan/Northstar??

    Looking more seriously now, plan to purchase sometime in the next 2 months or so. I am looking harder at the Camplite livin lite truck campers. I was at first all about the cassette toilet but I am now pondering a Natures Head composting toilet in the wet bath of a livin lite 8.6 camper. I...

    Diesel News: POST HERE

    Most Dodge owners I know are not loyal to Dodge, but rather Cummins. It's the motor that matters. It's only among the Ford and GM diesel crowd that you get brand loyalty to the truck manufactures. Many people say, " I have always owned a ford", which led them to buy the disaster that was the...

    Ford F550 vs. Ram 5500

    I can't speak to the newest 6.7 Cummins, but the B series 5.9 inline six Cummins has a proven track record. I also prefer 6 cylinders over the v8, 2 less pistons, 2 less injectors, no glow plugs, they are easier to to work on, and provide great low end torque. If you want a manual, you only...

    iPad Air 2 announced

    I don't own one, just ordered a Soney Xperia Z3 compact phone, but the Sony Xperia Z3 tablet looks pretty cool. I believe it is also water and dust resistant. Might be worth a look.

    Custom camper platform

    Any one that came in a ford. Simply not the case. Well cared for, proper and the right maintenance, along with the RIGHT motor, it will probably last longer than a comparable gas truck. One thing to keep in mind though, to change the oil it costs 50 dollars, and that's doing it yourself. Might...

    Who has experience with DT Profab?

    I don't own anything by DT but I have thought about getting their control arms, I hear the bushings have lifetime replacement guarantee. I own a 2nd gen ram and that said, I would probably consider a few other manufactures for your parts. I like the DOR (Dodge Offraod) track bar and also...

    Min/Max Ground clearance & 33vs.35" tires? ..&more

    On a 3/4 ton pickup like my Dodge CTD, I feel 2 inch suspension spring lift with 35 inch tires is pretty good. Another consideration is what kind of camper you might have and it's affect on the trucks payload.

    The EEXP is Born

    How do you feel about it's size? Floor space looks tight, I wonder if it was a foot or two longer on a longbed truck if it would feel more open? Hard to tell from pictures. I imagine in person it probably feels pretty open since the top raises.
