Unfortunately, I don't have any idea on price. Maybe start at the high end of what you want and see what happens? Kinda depends on how quickly you need it gone. Can you comment as to how well it has held up? I've got a similarly constructed camper in the works right now so it would be nice...

Yeah, I honestly could just have a piece of glass cut to size and then use regular old window rubber weather stripping you can buy in bulk also. I'd just need to figure out how to mount it. Thinking about it I might just go ahead and use that slider after all. It might not ventilate well, but...

I'm looking for a simple window, but can't seem to find anyone that makes one. I am looking for a fixed pane (non-slider), no tint window. This should be a super cheap window, but apparently no one wants these. Its for the front wall of a truck camper. Its up against the truck cab. I can't...

You've talked a lot about making the rear spring rate lighter, which is good for your use, but not much about how much weight your really thinking of carrying when fully loaded. Are you planning on using the full 4000lbs payload or less than that? I think shock diameter depends on usage off...

It sounds like you know what to do, light spring rate and good shocks, and you already know who to talk to about shocks. You may just need to get a bit creative with springs or go coilover to get there. Don't be afraid to look at other vehicle platforms for the right springs. There are a ton...

I have just this past summer upgraded from coolers to a Whynter 45qt fridge. Its not on the same level as the engels or snomasters, but it works well for what I need so far. The capacity is just enough. Its actually too big for just myself and a few days on the trail. I really bought it...

I have find it hard to believe they'd stick a 525hp anything in a wrangler chassis, when they can barely cool the V6 as it is. Remember the JT has a completely different grill just to help the cooling issue when towing 7000lbs and the diesel they've said will tow even less because they can't...

I went on the Jeep Jamboree USA event on the Rubicon this past August. There were two JT Rubicons on the run, both owned by businesses, both on 40s. The owners/drivers seemed to have little issue with driving them on the trail. Neither one sustained any major damage. I was actually quite...

How is the family sleeping situation in yours? I'm guessing you all just sleep in the upper bed? How is it getting up to the bed? It looks pretty tight getting in the back with the cooler on the right and cabinet on the left and then ducking under the roof crossmember. I do dig the camp...

Do you really need 37s? I mean do you actually use the truck to go wheeling, more than a dirt road? In my youth I did a lot of exploring in a toyota on 35s that I set up for crawling, and realistically could have done all the exploring with the stock tire size of 27s. I feel most on here want...

Its hard to recomend a diesel for travel to foreign countries, when we all know most folks here have a hard time getting out of the lower 48 as it is. I always found that argument amusing. When am I ever going to drive to mongolia? Kevin

Looks great! Once again it really doesn't matter what you buy, just get out there and enjoy it! Kevin

Where are you getting the numbers for the Ram trucks? I know most are claiming 10-12mpg for the 6.4 around town, and I'm in the 16-18mpg range with the cummins. Yes, 4-5mpg difference, but definately not the same. Based on my old gasser chevy 6.0 truck, the difference increases with load or...

Not sure if thread is serious anymore or just completely on the crazy train?

I'm a first time diesel owner, 2014 ram 2500, and I love it so far. I'm a bit apprehensive about repairs cost, but so far maintenance hasn't been bad. One of the things I didn't think about before purchase was actually buying fuel for it. Around here not every station has diesel, and most...

I've had one aquaintance get reimbursed from FCA for the Synergy draglink. Just FYI and YMMV, but you might be able to save some $$$. Kevin

I'm just amazed the factory 10bolt rearend in your burban hasn't blown up yet. I would definately skip modifying the 1500 burban and go find a 2500 burban instead. 6.0-4l80-semifloat 14bolt is a good combo. I will say that any of the newer 1/2ton pickups should be fine since they have made...

Is Louisiana one of those states that you can pay a little more and increase your GVWR? Pretty sure that doesn't fly out here. I don't dissagree that the trucks are basically the same minus some spring rate issues, but that becomes a personal decision not factual when you decide to go over...

Thats like a false-positive. You can mod the truck however you want to, but in the end you can't change what the door sticker says. Kevin

I really disliked the t-case lever in my old chevy truck. When I bought my 14 ram 2500 I was happy to convert to the dial shifter for the t-case. The problem is that all the american trucks use some variant of NP chain drive t-case and shifting them can be hard. While slowly rolling forward...
