I think the part number issue is one of laziness with Ram. If you search by VIN the correct coils for your application will pop up even though they say fits multiple trims. The Power Wagon coil part number is unique to the Power Wagon, it’s just not listed as such. I have Thuren’s 2” coils and...

The GM 6.2 is a beast but requires premium fuel. Are you looking at the 3.0 diesel? If you’re not too brand loyal take a look at the Rebel. It has a real locker and Ram has the nicest interior by far.

How many miles on the Eco Diesel? Any issues?

Thanks guys! The slides look really interesting, that would almost make me go back to a hard canopy. I absolutely loathed climbing into the back of my 5.5 foot bed Tacoma with a canopy on it and my wife hated it too.

I’m looking for some ideas on what others have done for the bed of their trucks. I have a Ram 2500 with an 8’ bed and currently a soft tri-fold cover. We tent camp when in really rough country and have an Escape trailer on order for everything else. The soft cover works pretty good. It keeps...

Method has an 18” wheel with a 4500lb capacity; MR 305 NV HD. What size Toyos are you looking at?

You will not regret the 4600s

I run 4600s on my firewood truck and take it all over the forest. Air down a bit and it handles washboard nicely.

If you haven’t driven a modern gasoline powered truck then you really need to. They all make well over 400ft lbs and are designed to work hard. NA gas engines need to spin for power, but they can turn 4K all day without issue. The days of sluggish gas engines are long gone.

BD has a plug and play Harness to run Squadrons on the halogen equipped trucks; wonder if the wiring is any different on the LED trucks? Nice part with the upfitter switches is they are all fused and have relays.

Definitely consider gas unless you really want a diesel. I have 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi and 8 speed transmission; it’s awesome. The auxiliary switches are worth every penny and are mandatory. Ram does a really good job with the upfitter wiring.

Thank you for sharing the pics of the Buckstop bumper inside and out. Are the lights the Baja Designs XLs? Using the factory fog switch for them?

Nice build! I have to say in the future 5500 with a flat bed is awful tempting both for fun and work. POR15 is really only good for thoroughly rusted metal. You’re better off using paint and primer on bare metal. Unless your in rock salt country that’s all you really need.

Stock F150 is pretty stout, just needs help with shocks like most trucks off the lot. Are you the original owner of the truck? Nice thing about buying a new vehicle and keeping it you’ve already shaken the bugs out if there were any and more likely than not other than maintenance stuff like...

ATC shells start at $10k empty and come with the benefit of being totally sealed where a GFC is not. The downside is weight and with a 1500 there’s not a lot of wiggle room. If your planning a full build out it may be a better option since everything can be removed from the truck as a contained...

Track bar? If that plus shocks would eliminate the bounce that would be awesome. My “trails” consistent of bad forest and BLM roads.

Installed my Thuren 2” front coils and Fox Shocks. The front rides amazing, stock rear still kind of sucks. Not sure if I’m going to just do Fox Shock with stock rear coils or Thuren coils with air bags. I’m hoping the front settles a bit and the 1/2” lowering coils from Thuren will work without...

The 2v 4.6 is about as bullet proof of a V8 you can get, won’t be the quickest but they never die. Nice find.

Making a trip with an extra passenger I built a quick platform like Bennyhana did. Fridge is strapped down tight using the LATCH mounts for the middle seat. I don’t know if all 4th gen trucks have LATCH mounts in the middle but this one does. It is definitely not going anywhere. Still not sure...

Repeater Book app is awesome. I came across a roll over crash with serious injury on a forest road 50 miles from nowhere with no cell service. Couldn’t raise anyone on 146.520 and I had not programmed any local repeaters in my radio. At the time I did not know the app worked offline so we had...
