    SLO's NoBo 16.6

    Nice thread. IMHO You don’t need to compare it to any other brand. You are already doing more than most here….. the most important thing I believe- You are getting yourself and the family out in the wild. I’m completely envious. The rig that gets you out is the right one at the time :) I get...

    Rust Prevention and Reversal: Whats Your Experience?

    I guess everyone has an opinion, but mine is that things like Fluid Film, PB Surface Shield and NH Truck oil work. When I was kid back in the 70s , I’d help my dad and neighbors drive the trucks on a tarp and spray used motor oil/ kerosene mix on the frame, and then throw sawdust on it and spray...

    General gripe

    I just found by accident the Ridgecut jackets at Tractor Supply . Seem really heavy duty (Arctic weight version ) Condura , much heavier than Carhartt and on sale for half the price. I have been wearing Carhartt as long as I can recall (still wear their pants), but the last two jackets I had...

    Gaia GPS and the National Parks layer

    This was my summary with my 21 Ram. I will admit to not spending a lot of time with it using CarPlay. I now have a dedicated IPhone 12 Promax that I don’t have a phone plan on(I had the phone, an IPad would be better) Still playing around with it, I think it’s going to be fine. (Although between...

    Help with Heco Lift System Corner Brackets Setup and Torsion Bar - on a 1995 Skamper 060s Popup Truck Camper

    You could probably use a vice with some wood blocks if serrated jaws and a big adjustable wrench to tweak the brackets back straight. You are correct , the heco lift needs to be reassembled with the roof in the up position. Make sure the canvas is on and the roof is in proper position(both...

    Help with Heco Lift System Corner Brackets Setup and Torsion Bar - on a 1995 Skamper 060s Popup Truck Camper

    Someone either here or on the Northstar Facebook page wrote this up, definitely not me:) The brackets have an angle and twist when the roof raises and lowers because the torsion springs put enormous forces on that short corner bracket. This causes the 1/4-20 bolts to move in the wood frame...

    Trail Pig 2018 PW Build

    Looks like you are having fun. Nice rig! How did you make out getting the Hellwig rear sway bar on? I looked thru all your pics and it looks like the ‘18 has a resonator on the tailpipe? Did you have to cut it off? I just put a BigWig bar on my 3500 and had to cut the resonator off and a weld a...

    Hellwig Bigwig Sway bar on 21 Ram 3500 Hemi

    The end result was they had no answer why the u-bolts weren’t long enough, they are sending lock nuts to replace the one on each leg actually doing the work. I’m good with the end result , still doesn’t make sense tho, same axle, same frame between gas and diesel Sent from my iPhone using...

    Bronco Mothership

    Awesome!!! Apparently the bag of ransom cash was enough. Seriously -if want to answer…. Any surprises paperwork wise? Hear lots of stories here in New England, hard to know what reality is. I guess dealers here are trying to strong arm customers into selling their spots and/or the vehicle when...

    Hellwig Bigwig Sway bar on 21 Ram 3500 Hemi

    I got the piece to extend it out. It’s still behind the rear axle on a long bed,not thinking it’s going to be a problem if I left it, it just looks half baked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
