Damn that thing is awesome. Any more pics?

Thanks for all the replies fellas. More than I expected. The main argument against diesel seems to be the extra upfront cost of $9k-ish. I’d be buying used (still under warranty) or certified so most comparable diesels are at most $4-5k more than the gasser equivalent and have already taken the...

All of my jeeps have been manual and that’s the main reason I started looking at the Ram trucks. It’s still a possibility to go with the g56 but finding any in this area to even test drive is tough. Agreed on the half tons too. I had a ‘17 f150 for a short time and it was nice, comfortable...

The rams seem like a solid platform from most of what I've heard. The 3500 isn't out of the question for me either since the added payload would be nice with the weight hit from the Cummins. Do you feel like you needed to re-gear with the 37" Toyos? Or was it more of just a 'better' situation?

Thanks for the replies! Exactly what I was thinking and hoping to hear.

So I've been researching a ton on the gas vs diesel debate, and don't want to turn this into that. I'm more looking for experiences from actual guys using the diesels for overlanding/expedition trips. I'm going back and forth between a '17 or newer F250 or a '16 and up Ram 2500. Any regrets...

I just bought the inReach explorer for a drive from NY to CO. It worked really well for family and friends to be able to see where I was along the way with the tracking feature. I only used the texting a few times, but that worked well too. Overall, I was in quite a few areas with no cell...

Awesome build so far! Gotta love banging through gears

Sent you a PM

I had duratracs on my last jeep for 40,000 miles and thought they were phenomenal in the snow from a coating to blizzard deep here in NY (12”+). I found that most times I didn't even need to be in 4wd. That said, I did have an F150 for a while with the stock Hancook tires on it and wasn't...

Awesome build so far and nice job on the pics/writeup. Subbing for updates...

Love those 2500 rams, and nice start with the wheels. I'm only about an hour away from you in Westchester. Still have the tundra too?

These diesels are definitely tempting. I can run my F150 2.7 getting a steady 23ish mpg highway if I keep my foot out of it, and have got close to 700 miles out of a tank mixed. I'm confident I could get a good amount more if it was all highway. But the diesels keep calling my name lol

Borh of your builds are awesome! How do you feel about the reliability of the ecoboost motors when you're far 'out there'? I traded out of a modded rubicon and now have a '17 F150 with the 2.7, and have been thinking of going to a 2500 ram cummins. The 2.7 has been great so far with no problems...
