Whats the back door look like? Looks huge from the bits I can see. Chris

What size aluminum stock did you use for the flatbed? Congrats on the A frame, hopefully that doesn’t distract from the camper too much. -Chris

Thats the exact reason I sought out a 06 when I bought mine in 2009. I didnt want the dpf issues. Im looking for a 4500 now, Id sure like a low mileage 5.9. Perhaps I should look internationally! But that brings other issues. Chris

Howdy, Not sure I follow your question, but in the US trucks starting from 2007.5 had the 6.7 with dpf. -Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stage three 2.5’s in the front, I tweaked the rear rebound valve stack myself from what Thuren sent me. I wanted to slow the rebound down abit when Im running a bunch of pressure in the airbags. Chris

I don't race my Thuren/Carli truck, but I do alot of gravel roads. My Bilstein 5100's would be faded within a mile of washboard road, so I put on 5150's those lasted a couple more miles, but my Thuren Kings never fade(at the speeds I travel). I run Thuren 3" coils, I would have done 2" if he...

I assume your considering the Continental MPT81's. What wheels you looking at? The kelderman is pretty rad, lots of moving/electric parts with their auto ride height system. I'd probably do the more basic settup, for simplicity sake. I've been looking for a ram 4500 and probably the backstop...

Whats the bluebook stating. I dont see the lack of features as a huge negative, but the current location is the biggest issue for your prospective market. Although the ferry ride from Juneau to Bellingham is beautiful in winter, and alot less crowded! If I had that truck in Oregon, Id think...

That truck is the going to sell very well and very quick! Which cab? I have a 06 regular cab I bought in 08 for a great price during the height of the recession. Most people want the larger cabs, but I see that generation of truck selling, on dealer lots, for the same or close to what I paid...

I'm curious about those new toyos you saw. I ran the M608z 265/70r19.5 on my truck for almost 100k miles(I re-grooved them once). They wore like iron, but I was not thrilled with their mud/snow performance. I live in rural Western Oregon where mud is a constant 6-7 months a year and I travel...

Awesome build and trip. I'd like to hear how the airbag front suspension is working out. Also your running the 41" Conti's with just 1.5" lift and a bit of sheetmetal massaging and your modified fender flares? Do you think the OEM front bumper would pose issues with fitting them? When you were...

Where do they tap into the coolant system of the truck? Just off the main hose from the block to radiator? Valves?? I thought I saw this happening when I was up near the bc/yukon border one winter when it was -30 something and a guy was trying to warm up some big Cat. Thanks Chris

Has anyone seen a demountable camper that was tied into the vehicles coolant system(heating the unit, heating the water, etc). There are a lot of examples of non-demountable(Rixen in sprinters for example), but I haven't seen a demountable. I've thought about this for years and now is the time...

I second that request for photos. Just found out we maybe heading there in November and looking for places to go and sights to see. I'd really like to do the camel camping trip, don't think my wife would be game for that. -Chris

Yeah, imagine coming back from a hike with an un-known rock stuck in your boot and denting/scratching your beautiful floor. -Chris

I ran the Firestone bags for awhile on my ram with camper without the daystar cups, just riderite hardware, and ripped the crap out of a pair when I'd drive it unloaded through the desert. The daystars are designed to be run with the airbags not bolted into the bottom and the cup "catches" the...

Good man! I searched their site with ZERO success earlier. I really want the ecoboost motor, but instant gratification is sometimes hard to pass up. I reached out to the sales guy, might be making a trip up there. I was also looking for a van without any windows, on the reasoning that it...

What kind of rigs are you specializing in? You have a great builder of Dodge Ram parts, Thuren, in your area. Might make the trip over the hills if Im free that day. -Chris

I've crawled around under those Winnebago Travatos. they are fun, but lots of exposed plumbing and tanks. They had the heat tape and pads which was great, but my parking lot calculations estimate that vehicle is designed for 15-20 degrees (above zero). In addition those tank heaters take a lot...

Awesome truck and setup. I have an 06 with a Carli and Thuren cocktail. What size are those tires? How's your steering? Old/new linkage? Done the box upgrade yet? I thought it was the best money I've spent! There was another guy, I think on here, who filled the large gap between his camper...
