    Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison, COMING SOON!

    The seat position is still garbage in a Tacoma, Colorado, or Ranger. I seriously have no idea how anyone larger than a high school kid can drive one. The seats are small, the cabin is cramped, the seat is mounted on the damn floor, the engines are anemic. They are easily the biggest waste of...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Gas motors run best at around 1300-1500 rpm. I've never run a PW before so I have no experience to pull from, but typically the range above should provide you the best results in an overdrive gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    68RFE It’s a 6 speed automatic. On highway trips where I travel more than 50 miles with no congestion I always drop the trans into 5th. It kicks the RPMs up a little, but diesels run more efficiently at a slightly higher RPM. The sweet spot is right at 2000RPMs ... for efficiency. Sent from...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    In my 3500 I've found, unloaded, my best fuel economy at 70mph is in 5th gear at 2000rpm getting 21mpg average. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I'm pretty sure maxxis makes a 40x13.5R17. Edit: they do. https://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-5-105-creepy-crawler-m8090 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    onboard power supply option for AEV 2018 Ram Diesel?

    It's probably just due to mounting hardware. You might be able to make it work if you fab up your own mount.

    onboard power supply option for AEV 2018 Ram Diesel?

    4:88 is what a lot of guys like with 40s. But back to power supply. Mounting under the cab is just a messy area. But that RV accessory box would make it cleaner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    onboard power supply option for AEV 2018 Ram Diesel?

    That's the only place to put a spare fuel tank though. Titans Aux tank holds 30 more gallons there doubling the trucks capacity. I'd be leery of mounting a spare battery under the truck. I might consider finding a couple of smaller lithium ion batteries and mounting them behind the back seats...

    onboard power supply option for AEV 2018 Ram Diesel?

    Oh nice. I didn't know you could fit 2 of the 220s. I thought only one would work. That's great to know. I'll have to make that conversation here soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ram makes a dual alternator add on option. I think it's 2 185s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You'll need a third battery. How do you plan to mount everything in the bed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RTT mattress options

    That's actually not a bad idea to slide it underneath. If I remember the Klymit stuff is only an inch thick when inflated so it wouldn't be a huge deal to inflate and deflate it every time you pop the tent. Could you feel it under the foam topper? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good call. They ship to the US apparently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    270 deg square back?

    Are you from AUS? That's not too bad. It may be a little delicate for my needs but it will certainly get the job done. Thanks for the heads up. Anyone got anything else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    270 deg square back?

    Well, yes and no. It does exist, just not in the USA. Drifta in AUS makes one that would fit my needs but does not, currently, ship it to the USA. https://www.drifta.com.au/product/super-wing-awning/ Ideally, I’d like to use 2 of the James Baroud tunnel awnings on either side of the...

    270 deg square back?

    Unfortunately Rin, the shadow awn is too long when closed and not long enough on the rear portion to cover my tail gate on my Ram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    270 deg square back?

    Does anyone know of a company that makes a 2m 270 degree awning that has a full 2m length square back? I want an awning that has full coverage over my full size tailgate with the ability to add walls/wind breaks. I’m looking for quality products and not junk. Any help is greatly...
