    Thoughts on Full-Size overland build? 2018 Ram Power Wagon 68k miles

    Figure out what type of trails you'll run and how often and buy or build a vehicle to suit your needs. That powerWagon certainly looks great and the modifications are first class for the most part, but are they appropriate for your abilities, strength and goals? For example, I'm almost 70 and...

    1 ton for salt county

    3 decade Minnesota resident here where salt is applied liberally to the roads. Salt works really well above freezing so if you park in a heated garage, the corrosion will happen very quickly. I have a 10 year old Ram 3500 and I take it to car washes regularly to get the undercarriage washed...

    Crossing Borders: Renting Cars for a Family Adventure

    Almost 4. The package including insurance (0 deductible) was cheaper than renting. What the rental car companies don’t tell you is if you pick the car up in one country and drop off in another, the drop off fees can be substantial. Our rental was brand new and trucked to the pickup in France. We...

    Crossing Borders: Renting Cars for a Family Adventure

    Check out Auto Europe. We did a several week trip through Europe and it was cheaper to buy a car thru them and sell it back. Easy process on both ends.

    StoryTeller Overland GXV Hilt

    Interesting because their own press release says they were closing due to “changing market dynamics and economic challenges”. Translated from marketing speak to plain English - orders weren’t coming in and we ran out of money.

    Help me understand suspension and tires benfits on F350 w 2000lbs truck camper

    The tires are Cooper AT3's in stock size and truck is a 2015 Ram Hemi. Sticker simply says recommended pressure - 60 front 80 rear cold. Its a 10 ply tire with stiff sidewalls. Anything below 65 in the rear on the highway is awful. I suspect your Tundra is lighter by a bit.

    I've had an Alumaline flatbed for almost 6 years and 125000 miles. The company makes a good product but the CEO is a total a*#hole and that drives the culture.

    Help me understand suspension and tires benfits on F350 w 2000lbs truck camper

    The recommended tire pressures from Ram on the door sticker is 60 front, 80 rear. Empty, I might agree but running the rear tire pressure the same as the front when the camper is on and loaded creates a pretty rough ride. I've experimented with a lot of different front/rear tire pressure...

    StoryTeller Discount on 2023 stock

    At the Truck Camper Rally in February, I spoke with two vendors who switched from building vans to truck campers. Their van market used to be a several year wait and sourcing vans was very challenging. They made the switch when their orders dropped off significantly and the van dealers were...
