    Build current Ram 2500 vs Power Wagon/Tremor/3500?

    Long bed hurt your break over a bit. Turning radius is a meaningless spec, don't sweat that. Those numbers are never accurate anyways. And also, LB adds a carrier bearing to the driveshaft. Keep an eye out for long beds in your area. Note how much more exposed the drive shaft is...

    Air compressor for HD trucks

    If you're going to do it. Do it with a compressor that's got balls. Stopping to air up, again, sucks. I'd skip the York, because adding more weight in front of the front axle is fighting words to me. Especially since we already added a winch and bumper. An electric compressor helps me...

    Build current Ram 2500 vs Power Wagon/Tremor/3500?

    Agree to a point. But replacing the wheel, tires, and then the entire suspension......negates the whole point of the Tremor package. Wheels and Tires. $3000-3500. Diff breathers. $20. Shortened front air dam. Free. Elocker. Free. Cool running boards, and an LSD front diff are all that...

    New Defender Rage/Hate Thread

    Government support for what? Another inter-grocery store market crossover. Good biz plan there.

    Build current Ram 2500 vs Power Wagon/Tremor/3500?

    If you're going to go full Carli, don't waste it on a Tremor. Save money by getting a regular 250 to start with. Keep a Tremor stockish. Otherwise you're paying for hop up parts twice. (I'll gladly buy your Trmors running boards though.) Tremors have lots of bling. A gas Tremor costs...

    Series or parallel...

    If you need ballast weight, plain old 4d batteries and a jug of water, might be a better option. Personally, I'd rather have a rack of Group 31's. As long as they had removable plugs to check fluid levels.

    Sway control help.

    I'm totally cool losing some articulation with stiffer springs or swaybars. Lockers usually can make up for that. Defender 90's don't exactly flex well.

    How do you haul mountain bikes on a trailer with a RTT?

    I'd put all four bikes on a rack vertically, on top of the trailer. Then put the RTT on the Jeep. I'd also make sure that rack, and trailer length worked for 4 kayaks as well.

    Long-term Feedback request: Daystar Airbag Cradles

    Yep. It'll try to squirt out. Sumo Rebel springs will be what I try next. Same idea, but no air. The foam spring splits in half to allow full droop.

    Series or parallel...

    You can parallel as many batteries as you want to. As long as they all get charged properly. And that they don't start dualing with each other. Which they rarely do when kept on a charger. I wouldn't run them too low without checking each batteries voltage directly. Just finished...

    V8-powered Jeep Wrangler crashes Ford Bronco's party

    A gas Super Duty is no larger than a Raptor, and has the axles you want. Actually narrower. Fox and King 2.5 kits are available everywhere. Jeep needs 35's, a real engine and transmission, F/R lockers available on all models, and more gear (4.56+). The only place Ford has messed up...

    V8-powered Jeep Wrangler crashes Ford Bronco's party

    Dana 60 is cake once you're used to it. Dana 44 can be a pita because of tighter quarters to work in. Bronco front end looks clean and easy. An IFS improvement most likely.

    When did mountain biking become so specialized!

    If my road bike testing this fall, gives the go ahead, I'll buy one of these in the off season when stores give better deals $2000: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/stumpjumper-st-alloy-29/p/170585?color=262660-170585&searchText=93220-7602 I moved to an area where a nearby national forest...

    Enclosed off road Trailer to fit a Dirt Bike

    Some of that ''payload capacity'' is on the trailers tongue. That's how the axle # can be lower. That trailer should have more than 100# tongue weight. Make sure rhe width of your trailer is easy to see in your side mirrors. Backing up skinny trailers sucks. I haul jetski's on tandem...

    When did mountain biking become so specialized!

    Yep. Used to be a huge Cannondale fan. Still have one hanging in the garage. Now a decent Cannondale cost as much as a Honda CRF450l. That's unacceptable. But, but, motorcycles aren't exercise............. Says people that have never ridden one. I don't see any fat guys on the trail...

    V8-powered Jeep Wrangler crashes Ford Bronco's party

    But I have to carry a spare carb with the old Ford. I'll never buy a carb'd bike ever again. While simple and easy to work on, they get wrecked by bad fuel quickly. A fuel injector has enough pressure to spray through gunk. It might run like crap, but it'll run well enough to get me...

    V8-powered Jeep Wrangler crashes Ford Bronco's party

    I don't think I'd lift it at all. It's already got decent clearance and shoes. I'd get a Super Duty regular cab short bed, if I wanted to run 44's. The guys that lifted the Raptors, mostly ruined them.

    New Bronco

    35's weren't too bad. Just select the largest stock settings and it's close enough. Programming for 37's and 38's is a pita.

    New Bronco

    No. You can tune options using a variety of cryptic codes written by a heroin addict. I thought you could kill autostart with one. Or at least make it so that you only have to kill it once from the dash, and it retains that setting as long as you want. You can disable the obama-ic TPMS...
