    We each have our place brother. Sometimes I regret leaving the Department, but I also realize it was my time there that prepared me for the service. You let me know if you ever need anything. Stay safe and keep updating your build, there is quite a large RAM following on here.

    If you have any questions about products or build items let me know and I'll do what I can to get you the correct answer. People always have opinions and bias, I certainly have mine as well, but I prefer to just get facts and let people make up their own minds about what is best for them and...

    I am looking forward to teaching as well. I started working with a SOF organization that trains people like Doctors without borders to go into high threat environments like Sudan and parts of the Middle East. I also have relationships within the off-road industry that allow me to travel and go...

    Actually Im in the Army. I spent almost 6 years at Clackamas County Sheriffs Office in Oregon before I joined the Army in 2007. More Patriotism than common sense I guess. 10 out of those 11 years in SOF. I should be retired by the end of the year though, I had a mechanical failure on an...

    My truck came with the stock 180 amp single alt. I ordered all the stock parts to add the factory second alternator at 220 amp. So far with the single I have been OK ( but I have not had a hard pull winching at night with all the lights going either) but I prefer to have the second for added...

    The No SPIN works great in everything but snow and ice (it will just spin 1 tire) and when you lift a front tire and load a single rear tire it will only spin 1 tire. However, with the front ARB engaged I have yet to find a place were I can't go. In dry dirt, shale, and aggregate at low speed...

    They do, although I only run an ARB in the front. I prefer the gear driven limited slip rear NO SPIN. The front ARB makes a HUGE diff. I was going to run a rear ARB as well, however, after talking to Cooper at diesel power products and several people from within the industry I settled on...

    2017 Dodge Ram 2500 - An Overland work in Progress

    On the List. Once I have it dialed in and I know how much it will cost to make I will see if I can get a bulk discount (I am up to 8 guys who want one already) and then I will PM everyone and let them know what the cost is. I do like the ARB bumper as well, classic (old school look) but...

    2017 Dodge Ram 2500 - An Overland work in Progress

    Your on the list brother. Building the structure isn't hard, but making sure it has sufficient air flow and still provides "real" protection is the hold up so far. LOL ... By the time I am done I will have a full line of Fixed It For You parts lololol...

    Reading through your build. If you decide to get an AEV front bumper let me know and I can get you an intercooler skid at cost (I am having one built for my truck as well as a grill guard added to my AEV bumper). There are several other good options out there as far as bumpers are concerned...

    2017 Dodge Ram 2500 - An Overland work in Progress

    Great start on your build. I agree with Gibby56, I have an AEV front bumper and am working through the lack of intercooler protection and grill guard. If you don't have the time and money to add those options to an AEV bumper than you should deff. consider other options. If you do get an AEV...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Well, I am biased, however I think its a simple comparison. I would have to look at the weaknesses of the two tires, and for as much as I like the Conti. tires I think the Nitto would serve you better. For me, my truck is built primarily for off-road / overland use with the ability to tow and...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Its very close to a 38. 20 inch wheel plus 8.66 sidewall height x 2 = 37.3 inches. Considering that almost every tire branded as a 37 is actually around 36.5 on average and likewise, almost every tire branded as a 38 is actually around 37.7 on average I would be comfortable saying its a...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I think a set of 38s could be made to fit without the Highmark fender flares. You would need the correct amount of lift and probably move the axle forward a little bit in order to not have to trim sheetmetal. Yup, I think its absolutely possible. However, I think the basic tire sizes for the...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I had a great last couple of days adventuring and such. I verified that in fact, a full size CCSB Ram 2500 on 40s can in fact fit over Red Cone - Radical Hill - Middle Fork of the Swan River and down to Breckenridge... I should have taken a picture of the sign on the Hwy 285 side that clearly...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Spent the last 4 days in Ohio (with good friends) for the Mid Ohio Jeep Org's (MOJO) Jeep Fest at the Ross County Fair Grounds in Ohio. I ran into Selina (very nice) from Trail 15 who was set up and had some cool Nuthouse equipment on display (I know how much some of you love the Nuthouse...
