    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    Here is the ole trail pig in her Christmas Festivities. shot of the rear with my 13.5K winch in the back. I had a lot of fun with the truck this way but I really needed to solve the problem of having a place for the wife and I to stay. Flexed out on the Ana course.

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

I thought I might need to fix that spare situation... So to craigslist I went and from craigslist I found 2 spares and 2 procomp steel...

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    So... The wife and I had had a terrible experience in GLAMIS Fall, 2018. We had a dune buggy of ours break down and we tried to retrieve it from some flat sandy terrain. The ole' trail pig sunk like a rock. While having the wife drive and me push.... SERIOUSLY. I noticed my rear axle was only...

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    So after recapping from Overland Expo one thing became very apparent for the wife and I. We actually were not huge fans of the slide in pop up camper life. Sure the heater was nice, the fridge was cool. But for us the "camping" feel was almost entirely removed. Plus, the camper limited where we...

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    Personally, I LOVE them. I got a solid 1 mpg increase. The steering does feel lighter. The real selling point for me is just the fact they are much more robust than the unit bearings. Plus having 2LO is kinda fun.

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    So...one big issue that presented itself after expo was the fact that with a new diff cover the truck was basically using the diff cover and track bar as giant metal bump stops. So Time for a budget lift. After looking around I settled in on the Thuren 2.75 springs for the 2nd gen trucks. I had...

    So Overland Expo 2018 started off on the wrong foot. Unfortunately there was a fatality on the 10 out by Desert Center and after sitting dead stopped for a hour and having a CHP officer tell us it was possibly going to be 6 hours to complete the investigation...it was time to find a way...

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    So then.... it was time to get that puppy on. Nothing like a little 3/4 ton rhinoplasty. But then...after just telling the wife the truck was ready for expo and no need to spend money..... I had a gnarly noise coming from the left front when turning....Chucked the truck up in a rack...

    1999 Dodge Cummins 2500 4x4 Flatbed build

    Hello! Long time lurker but I finally have a rig to throw into the mix. Our story starts with most, craigslist and inappropriate use of work time. When I was 9 years old my father bought a brand new 5 speed 1999 Dodge 2500 Cummins off the showroom floor. I remember riding home in it that night...

    Bigger is better? Long vs short bed

    The only reason I could see getting a SB is if in someway you already had a camper and needed to stick with those specs. I have wheeled a 155 WB 99 Dodge 4x4 through everything I have taken my YJ jeep on so far. Sure is it as easy? No... Do I have any body damage because of it? No. You will...
