    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    I wouldn't be doing drops and extreme rock crawling with them but for your average trail ride and the occasional difficult obstacle, they are perfect. If you want to be doing ledges, drops, rock crawling, etc, then the white knuckle sliders are the right call. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    If he got the sleekster rail, then they mount to the rocker panel. That area already has 2 or 3 layers of sheet metal and is arguably one of the strongest sections of the body. Randy Ellis adds ⅛" boxed steel to it to further strengthen the area. So much so that it will bear the entire weight...

    Yaaaaassss. Those sleekster rails are awesome. They also work with amp steps. Really looking forward to see them on your rig and reading your impressions and experiences. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Vehicle research: RAM 1500 info sought....

    I see Tundras, F150, GM, Tacomas, and Rams all the time. The new Nissan Titan XD is popping up more often now too. When I was in college, '02-'08, Titans were everywhere. Now the only ones I see are new. I'm in Atlanta where a huge construction boom is happening. We're talking 30+ tower cranes...

    Do you want the short bed or standard bed? It should be noted that the 2500 does not come configured with the short bed. Only the 6 and ½ foot beds or long bed. If gas mileage is your your main concern I'd go with the 1500. The PW guzzles Fuel. I'm also not sure if an E85 option is...

    Vehicle research: RAM 1500 info sought....

    I had a 2009 4th gen 1500 for 9 years before I totaled it and got a 3500 Cummins. I did not have too many issues with the motor itself. I did have to replace exhaust studs twice and the cam shaft once (lifetime warranty covered both). But this was the first year of the new style and I used to...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    For what it's worth, just for a spray in bed liner of plain old classic LineX, I've seen prices differ as much as $500 just here in Atlanta alone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Awesome, I'm eager to hear your results as I'm planing on doing Ultra on my grill, bumper, and rocker panels. Sounds like you just went to a crappy dealer. See below photo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Definitely do that. Also, you e shown a willingness to travel for good service, so I would call the biggest and best dealers in your part of the country or further if you're comfortable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why not just go classic black then? Was that the price for Ultra too? I'd shop around too because Linex locations are usually franchised and get to choose their own pricing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    There is always LineX. The new Ultra LineX coating looks incredible and is specifically designed for bumpers and fenders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I think it just depends on how you use the truck. The majority of people who are just trail riding shouldn't have a problem with scratching and denting with a paint or powdercoated bumper. But if you're rock crawling and pushing your rig to the limits, yea it's a concern. But I'd be more...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I like the idea of powder coating the tow points. It would add a cool pop of color. The paint matched AEV bumpers do look really good too. I've actually thought that for someone who doesn't get too extreme with their rig, a chrome plated AEV bumper would give it a great look. People often...
