    Anyone here using an XP Campers tray/flatbed?

    I know Mainline will give you a credit for the bed they take off. The rep said it usually covers install. I still think the PCOR is the most finished of the 3 I’ve seen in person: PCOR, Norweld, and Nuthouse. I’d also rank them in that order. I would really like to see an XPCamper flat bed...

    Anyone here using an XP Campers tray/flatbed?

    I’ve been really considering one as well. Very utilitarian, which I like. At expo east 2 weeks ago I was really checking out the Norweld and PCOR units. Norweld was cheaper, about 12k fully loaded, and the PCOR was around 15k fully loaded. The PCOR was a far more finished product though...

    I just wish they would swap back to the forward flip. That way you could have awning space plus all the inside space of the habitat. It also takes up less footprint that way sans awning. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Avalanche Expedition Rack build

    Whoa, that’s a big cantilever. I’d be cautious loading anything on that front end. Looks like it’s very likely to ruin your roof, unless it’s connected to the stock roof rack somehow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Love the Smittybuilt Scout trailer for my RTT, but I don't go off-road. What are my options?

    I’d just buy the smitty trailer and put road tires on it. It’s not built for off road any way. Cheap ass Chinese crap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    270 deg square back?

    I did sign up. There is zero info on the site though. I guess they are still prototyping. I’m not interested in anything over 90” long though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Do they though? The tires are for the most part made with the same rubber compound across the sizes and ratings. It honestly should come down to psi and footprint. If you run the same psi in a D as you do in an E, the E will obviously last longer because it’s a stiffer tire. Increase the psi in...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Why three? But either way, with modified suspension, most trucks are no longer capable of GVWR, nor do many drivers ever even hit GVWR. It’s obviously one of those situations that’s going to vary from user to user, and needs to be evaluated on a individuals needs and wants. But honestly with...

    270 deg square back?

    So what are the specs? Length, width, weight, etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Don’t look at the tire rating or equivalent ply rating. It’s all BS. You have to look at the actual load rating for the tire. Falkens current 37x12.5r17 tire is rated at 3525lbs per tire. That’s plenty of load rating for even a 3500 SRW. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Chevrolet offering serious off-road performance parts for the ZR2 in 2019, never seen this kind of OEM support

    Wow, all that and you still get to pay them to fix your truck after the airbag deploys on a dirt road. Sounds like a solid deal. Sarcasm aside, most of this just seems like a ploy to get people to spend stupid amounts of money for negligible performance increases. 30 whole millimeters of...

    270 deg square back?

    Very interesting. It doesn’t have any specs but it looks rather long. And heavy. If it’s under 89” though I’d be interested. Especially if it has a wall kit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Newbie looking for advice

    Fellow ATLien here. Welcome. Lots of great info here. So I would suggest you do lots of research before you buy. I’m a hardcore believer in buy once cry once. Having said that, it sounds like you’ve already done a fair amount of research and know what you’re leaning towards. So, do you...

    Multi Role 2500 Ram

    I assume you are referring to this video: The Bilstein 5100 that you buy at the store are not the same as the ones that come with the AEV kit. They are valved differently and use a few different components, at least according to AEV. I’ve never taken one apart to verify but I doubt AEV...

    Multi Role 2500 Ram

    Again, that’s not true at all. AEV provides a new track bar and drag link with the kit. The “steering issue” is not an AEV issue at all. People that have had problems did not machine their knuckle properly for the drag link. It’s a bad install problem, not an AEV kit problem. If you buy the...

    Multi Role 2500 Ram

    That’s just not true at all with respect to the AEV lift. Yes it uses the stock springs, but it changes the roll center of the steering, which improves feel, and it moves the axle forward while also being a bolt on ready system for hydro steer. It’s more than just a spacer kit. But it’s also...

    Multi Role 2500 Ram

    Yea 35s fit stock. These trucks look perfect with 37s in my opinion. I run the Nitto Ridge grappler in 37x12.50r17. They ride extremely well and are super quiet on pavement. I think capacity is 3600# per tire at 55psi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multi Role 2500 Ram

    I also have have a Ram, although mine is a 3500. I went with the AEV kit because I need the payload for work and didn’t want to add bags just yet. Personally, I like the kit, you just have to be aware it’s not a go fast kit like Carli or Thuren. Upgrade the sway bar and the radius arms to...

    Eating crow....2018 Ram Power Wagon build

    You should look into a Topper EZ lift. You can add a tent liner if you want as shown below and lift the top to load larger items and then lower it back down once the load is strapped down. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
