    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I personally like the hard sides of the Alaskan. Over time I think it will be more durable, while also offering a quieter and more insulated camp. It does give a short opportunity for rain intrusion though while its being open and closed. For me though, I’ve really been eying the 50ten...

    Are there any wide hardshells other than Baroud?

    Roof nest just released a version like the iKamper as well as a company called torro off road. I’m not sure what the roof nest is made of, but the Torro claims to be an ABS shell. I had an iKamper and I can tell you the shell is super thin fiberglass. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    AEV Prospector XL Flatbed Adventure Rig

    If you can’t do 80mph, you’re not geared correctly. I’m on 37s and can cruise at 90 without issue and I’m on stock gearing and still getting 14mpg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice needed for auxillary switches on my ram 3500

    I have the factory AUX switches and it doesn’t get much cleaner than that. The sPOD on the other hand is without a doubt the best on the market. If I didn’t have the Factory switches, I’d buy an sPOD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    who uses Fog lights? / Hella 500 / OEM connector->F350

    I have a Ram 3500 with the Rigid Dually cubes in place of the stock OEM fog lights. I keep the amber covers on mine for use on road. I absolutely love them and use them often in rain, fog, and long dark drives. I’ve found they not only help light up the front better than headlights alone but...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    Mods, An we shut this thread down? It’s going no where and just causing more confusion and industry infighting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Ok boomer. Clearly you haven’t trained with a reputable school nor have you read any recent data on the 9mm. Very few state or federal agencies carry 40s anymore, and for one reason, they’re awful. And if you leave a firearm unattended and unsecured in a vehicle, Yea, you’re a problem...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    There is a lot of bad blood. Specifically between adventure ready and OK4WD, well Rin at least. From what I gather a lot of it stems from a miscommunication with Rin and AR on a warranty replacement for a customer during the transition. Wether it was intentional or not is not for me to...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    Yea. Lots. But seriously, I get the aesthetic of one but practicality is nearly zero. This whole thread is full of Fudd crap. And it exceptionally tiering Everyone in here should have a striker fired double stack 9mm in either compact or full size. Only from a reliable platform like Glock...

    James Baroud discontinued?

    They have recently swapped US distributors, and I believe the website is still owned and operated by the old distributor. They are also changing the models, or so I’ve heard, so new SKUs are being created I think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ram 5500 Suspension Upgrades??

    The front should work. But not the rear. There was a guy on the AEV forum that did a 5500 camper build with the AEV stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pre-purchase help: 2013 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie...Fluid leaks?

    If it was a work truck, or driven off road or in sandy/dusty conditions a lot it’s likely the rack and pinion bushing are about to be done. Unfortunately you can’t just replace the bushings as they are not replaceable. You’ll have to replace the entire unit, around $800. I’d look into that as...

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    I saw a video of the new 23 zero material they are using on all their stuff. Seems pretty legit for heat transfer. It’s also said to be 3 layers. Could be worth a look if it works as stated. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    5th gen RAM AEV

    Yea. They’ve been posting on Instagram a lot. The Ram has the rear bumper we saw last year, new badges, and new sides for the factory fogs on the bumper as well as the larger bull bar. Oh, AEV branded lights too. Edit: Just checked Facebook. They are showing intercooler protection as well...

    5th gen RAM AEV

    The rear bumper looks like garbage to me. It’s literally an AEV JK bumper for a Ram and doesn’t match the aesthetics of the truck. I’m still not convinced they are going to make it. 2 years they’ve been showing it and it’s still not here. Either way, I’d go for a Thuren rear bumper or the...

    5th gen RAM AEV

    Unfortunately, this means that any new products or updates to the 4th gen most likely aren’t going to happen. AEV is notorious for abandoning old body styles as soon as the new ones come out. It’s exceptionally frustrating too because they usually don’t release parts for 2-3 years into a body...

    Lady Godiva: 2017 Ram 3500 CCLB Build

    As far as the leather kit goes, I’m looking at possibly doing the same on an old ‘99 Tahoe I’m restoring for my son that I’ve had since I was 16, would it not have been easier to remove all the trim from the wheel first? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
