    GFC or Vegabond Drifter?

    just did not work very well for 2 people and a dog at least for us. A true cab over bed set up would be much better. trying to get up and down from the bed of the truck when there are two people was a total pain. We ended up only using an outside ladder. On paper it seemed like entering from...

    Jk suspension

    and I actually called Chrysler and they confirmed it was valid. I did mean to say 2016 because my 2 door was a 2016 and I wanted to know what changed.

    GFC or Vegabond Drifter?

    I had a GFC and I liked it but I would not get another one. I would look at something more like a FWC project M. I would not get a wedge style one again.

    Jk suspension

    I had an AEV On my old 2016 2 door with AEV 3.5....if you do an exhaust mod on the cross over you can get by with out a new front ds but will still make contact under certain situations. You won't sag with the 3.5 springs. I had heavy bumpers and a TF rack which was heavy and never sagged at all.

    AEV quits the JK

    and all the hardcore jeeps guys say the opposite :)...I think they do pretty well at both. I have had AEV 2",2.5" and 3.5" lifts and front and rear bumpers and every version of jk wheels they sell as well as having two sets of AEV HD ram wheels.

    Canvas Topper

    I had a softopper and was not a fan. The cons outweighed the pros for me.

    Ram 2500 long term reliability

    The owner of AEV knows his stuff he works with OEM engineers ie Jeep, ram, chevy and gmc. What he told me is the front under heavy braking the articulinks could cause the truck to list (think ships). regarding tires my good buddy put on ridge grapplers the same time I put on my Toyo RT's. His...

    Ram 2500 long term reliability

    they come with D rated tires know since at least 2019 and I think even earlier. you are right E rated is a good improvement to be safe and most people go to 35 or 37 right away anyway. So the owner of AEV who is a pretty smart guy told me the reason for the lower payload is actually from the...

    Ram 2500 long term reliability

    it is all a matter of what you are comfortable with. go to any PW forum or fb page and you will find they are probably the most overloaded rig out there. airbags and cradles and call it a day. I have had mine over by several hundred lbs and never really even squatted. I had a GFC and gear and...

    RSI Smartcap - Any feedback?

    If you ask they will send you lock covers free of charge. Not sure why they don't just include them but maybe it doesn't get cold in south Africa. I had them send me some. They have great service

    Ram 2500 long term reliability

    I would have no issue pulling a 7600 gvwr trailer. mine has almost 11000 lb tow capacity. Fortunately I am able to use my truck while waiting for the parts. front drive shaft only turns while in 4wd so other than slinging grease all over when in 4wd no big deal. the rear seal is just seeping at...

    Ram 2500 long term reliability

    I like my 2020 Power Wagon and it is super comfortable. My wife has a newer CRV touring that gets around 30mpg and we opted to take the PW on our latest 3000 mile trip even with the price of gas just because it is so comfortable. But in reality I have had more issues with this truck than any of...

    2500/3500 Ram/Chevy/Ford??

    I drove west bound through wyoming. I did not get the E15 or the 88 octane. I used 87 which said on the pump up to 10% ethanol. Makes me wonder tho if they don't sneak more ethanol in the fuel regardless of what it says on the pumps. This the second year in a row I have made this same trip and...

    2500/3500 Ram/Chevy/Ford??

    just got back from a 3000 mile road trip. Western Montana to SE Minnesota included SD, ND, WI and WY. I took this same trip last year and pretty much the same results ie I got the worst MPG when filling up in MN. Like noticeably worse. my two worst tanks were on MN gas 12.6 and 13.4mpg. Best...

    RSI Smartcap - Any feedback?

    I like mine. The positive pressure vent works very well. I am in a long road trip and yesterday drove many hours in heavy rain and I figured I'd have a little water inside but I did not have so much as a drop.
