    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Interesting placement of the Alu-box.

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    It is made of unubtainium. As far as I know, it is the only steel dual swing for a RAM. Aluminess makes one, but it is aluminum. Pros and cons to that and their bearing system sucks. After thought, and given how much a PW weighs and the fact that I off-road here in AZ and UT, steel just made...

    Think it will be done by 2023? For her 50th Bday. :p Congrats on the house. Sounds cool.

    From me? No. Nothing. But, I know that you need to book your Southwest ticket down to Phx soon to help me put this thing on... ;-)

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Yeah, roof buckets are no fun to hoist up a 125# tire and rim. Heck even a swing out isn't much fun. But neither is the cable drop especially if you're in a bad off-road sitch in the first place, like mud or snow. Plus you kinda mess a tad with you're CG. Thou on a CTD, you're not as light in...

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Well, I got an email yesterday saying mine shipped. There was a Saia shipping number, but it is not in their system. So either it is not the correct number, or they haven't pick the bumper up yet. I'm a tad bit apprehensive as to what I'm going to have to 'fix' with this thing. I do want to get...

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Hmm, don't know if I should dip my toes into this ************** shitpool, but what the hell. I've NEVER been dinged the full amount for a third party product before it has shipped. They've had over 3k of my dinero for 14 weeks. I have yet to see the product. Do you comprehend that, or are you just...

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    gunna call tomorrow. I haven't been that keen on resolving this since it is like 110* here in Snottsdale. I'm just less than impressed with their response. Assuming it is a LDS operation, I expect a tad more.

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    Yeah, lots of bags! Who knows. Putting a new filler neck on the tank, supposedly they got the wrong one which = not the problemo. Meh, Enterprise loaner Charger, no worries. Gutted all the interior bits and pieces on the PW that could walk away. Rear locked. But if that ARB fridge is missing...

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    So, what you're saying, they're going to rust off before they get ripped off. :-) Got the RAM kit from GPS City today. Too bad the PW is at the dealer. Emissions leak since last Wednesday.

    To sway or not, that is the question

    Wait, did I read that correctly, two RTT's? Dunno, man, are they on a rack? Seems like a kinda high CG without a sway for on pavement maneuvers at speed. Secondly, on washboard, you're hitting them square, so the bar has no effect anyway. Can you undo the ends and tie the bar up and try it?

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Chet, I'd plan on at least 3 months if not 4. Unless they queue up a couple Rams at once, I really doubt they'd get it out much sooner. I was kinda hoping that my delay was due to them re-engineering the sensor placement and/or camera harness. Which the later, I'm still perplexed as to what I'm...

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    Hey King, I just ordered that RAM swing-arm mount, primarily for my iPad, but GPS City had the whole kit avail with the computer tray, which, TBH I would like to take my MBPro with me sometimes too. How sturdy does it seem to be? 17" MBPs are not trivial due to their construction. Thanks for any...

    Expedition One Rear Bumper

    Hope that WI trip sometime next year... cause they ain't quick. :) Ordered mine 5/8, so 13 weeks ago. Nada, though early last week or week prior, it was supposed to be in powder coat. Sure took my full amount though up front. I'm still very unclear on the rear camera. Are you just supposed to...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    A Dorkel? :) Unless he plans on being in dust a lot, there isn't much point. It is the only reason I put one on mine. It is kind of an expensive upgrade. Unlike on 80 series Land Cruisers, it is a tough install, not intended really for fording water, and while it does lower IAT, it has no...

    Hey guys, maybe we need to ask Christo who he contracts in CO. Seriously. This isn't rocket surgery.

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    Ugg. Did I say ugg before? Yeah, pretty sure I did. Very upsetting. And, Aluminess is not an option. Think about it, you drop off a shelf in UT or here in AZ on the corner, guess what will happen. And hell, even this won't support a PW or Cummins on a corner more than likely. Zero gusseting...

    2018 Ram 3500 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    Hmm, hmm, hmm. I spoke with Sarah (sp?) about two weeks ago and she did leave me a VM. The unit Marshall has is a prototype and yada-yada. I told her to ex-nay the shackle tabs as they are pointless IMHO if you are keeping the OEM hitch. The fact that the holes are not orented nor spaced...

    D ring mount looks to be the same as the one Marshall has.
