Thanks for the clarification about stock wheels' width and all the information you provided..I learn always something new from your posts. :) Love your choice of color for your wheels...very distinctive!

Hi, it seems the picture links you have posted do not work, at least they don't on my computer. I'd love to see these pictures..as a matter of fact I have a thread in this subforum where I asked to see pictures of 2nd gen Dodges with 315/75R16's with no luck. Specifically, what 7.5" steel wheels...

Thanks so much for your response, it is very much appreciated! Did you just have a 2" leveler kit, and do you happen to remember what kind of fuel mileage your healthy 12v 2nd gen was getting with the 315/16s...and with what type of driving and tires, specifically? What are your plans for your...

Thanks for your input. I'm using this formula to calculate mph: (RPM X TIRE DIAMETER) ____________________________________________ = MPH (Diff Ratio X Trans Ratio X Trans Case Ratio X 336) and given: Toyo AT2 315/75R16 = 34.6" tall and: NV4500 1st 2nd 3rd...

You are completely right. The only way to know the true size of a tire, is to measure it yourself while mounted on the truck and under load, and it almost never corresponds to what is printed on the tire, sometimes it's a little less, other times A LOT less. And, as you say, tire inflation plays...

Thanks so much for sharing about your wheels and tires, it is much appreciated. Would you happen to have a couple of pictures of your truck (front and side) with those wheels and tires on that you can post here? I tried looking in your profile, but couldn't find any.

Thanks for your input! When you say "18's with +18 mm of backspace," what wheel width do you have in mind? For instance, +18mm on wheels with an 8" width corresponds to a 5.25" backspace, while on 9" wide wheels to a 5.75" BS. You know, I did considered that size too, 285/75R18, because it's the...

I'm helping a good friend set up his '96 2500 Dodge Ram Diesel with a new set of tires. The truck is a 4x4, manual trans, 3.54 gears, that is now completely stock and that will be used for both work (towing no more than 9K lbs.) and long distance expo travel, seeing a mix of highway and country...

Thanks so much for your informative feedback, billy bee, it is very much appreciated! :)

Thanks for your feedback guys, please keep it coming.. Here's a couple of threads I was able to find today on this topic: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/10160-Cal-registration-motorhome-vs-commerical http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=8660.0 For sure, this is a...

To be more specific, for instance, for those living in California, the California Vehicle Code, Section 362, says: __________________ A "house car" is a motor vehicle originally designed, or permanently altered, and equipped for human habitation, or to which a camper has been permanently...

I'm not talking, here, about commercially-made campers such as the FWC, Alaskan Camper, XP Camper, etc., but simply about very basic camper shell expedition-oriented setups, made for example with caps such as the A.R.E. or Caravan Camper, permanently bolted to the bed of a full size truck (Ram...

Thanks!! Do you happen to have pictures illustrating what you just described, or perhaps a build thread? I think it would be very useful to many trying to do the same thing.

Did you have to cut/adjust the openings in your sleeper and camper shell in order to make them match exactly in size with the truck's back window frame?

In your snow cat application, I'm wondering whether your cab's opening matches the cabin's in size. That's one of the basic requirements for making successful applications of the accordion style boot.

Thanks for sharing!!

The work you did starting with an A.R.E. DCU is truly exquisite, really great quality work! If it were for an 8ft-bed Ram 2500/3500, I'd be very tempted to buy it myself, as I'm planning to build something along the same lines. I hope you don't mind, I used one of your pictures and placed a link...

Thank you so very much for your feedback. I'm looking forward to your pictures!

Not familiar with the thread you mentioned, but I think that the idea of a RC truck with a camper shell in the bed and a pass-through between cab and cap is a valid one. For one thing, when I take into account the weight of the sleeping platform/storage trunk/cabinets I have in mind plus my...

Thanks..
