    Factory single cab Gladiator with a Morgan Olson aluminum box

    A plus of the Fuchs/Grec camper design is the 11ish inches the full enclosed cab version needs dedicated for front seat movement/recline is available in the full opening version like theirs. So shorter overall length, or more cabin space.

    Factory single cab Gladiator with a Morgan Olson aluminum box

    The Morgan Olson box is aluminum so the curb weight is around 5,000 pounds, with a payload rating of 1,700 pounds. Same 137 wheelbase but total length is 210 inches, 8 inches shorter than the 'regular' Gladiator. Does this mean if you are on a rural route you will start getting ducks...

    EarthCruiser - to be more attainable than ever before.

    Those certainly look like a knockoff :mad: of the French made GaZell (rear door and passenger side accessory door). Just to clarify, the EarthCruiser were GZL 300 (narrower completed), GZL 400 (wider completed), MOD 300 (narrow unfinished) or MOD 400 (wider unfinished) all could be had with...

    EarthCruiser - to be more attainable than ever before.

    In 2018 the MOD 300 had a base price of $22,000 and the MOD 400 had a base price of $23,500 (remember these were empty shells). The completed/turnkey GZL300 and GZL400 during that same time period were approximately $38,500-$41,500 +/- But its not 2018 anymore ;) --- A cumulative inflation rate...

    EarthCruiser - to be more attainable than ever before.

    Lance, It is great to hear new ECs will be entering the Expo market again. And a good selection with the 'MOD' (slide-in under 1 ton trucks) and the 'Terranova' for 1 ton and above trucks. I have a few questions (disclaimer - I'm not in the market as I have two ECs, but driving around with one...

    Warning!! DBL Designs - Install Issues & Dishonest Business Practices

    Not in my lane, BUT it seems with brush trucks and other publicly owned vehicles on the website, it makes me would what these public entities are doing. I would assume they have acceptance inspections by qualified individuals to safeguard the end users/operators of these modified vehicles...

    And all along I have thought you need at least 37" to 40" or greater wheels/tires to be a true Expo adventurer. But it certainly seem like you can make due with much smaller ones 😇

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    An aftermarket Ram hitch like this Draw-Tite Class V 2-1/2 inch Trailer Hitch Still has a Class V rating It is the curved design of the factory hitch that cause the clearance issues.

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    Agree, the hitch setup on the Ram is HUGE. Nothing against Ram for making such a stout hitch, but it sure takes up a lot of space. When I mounted my rear winch bumper, I had to go with a smaller physical sized winch just to clear the hitch. So perhaps if you don't need the max tow rating (just...

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    I agree with @p nut, pretty crazy prices for bumpers, tire carriers or 'special mounts' For F°rds (or $3,896 if you want to fit 38s) Carli Suspension created the 2017+ Ford trophy hitch to solve the problem of fitting a full size spare. This 3/16″ and 1/4″ cold-rolled American steel hitch...

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    More YMMV. I got my Road Armor Bumper for free thanks to Jeff Bezos (actual $550 ahead, with selling the Ranch Hand bumper that was on the truck), and building my own swing (to the side, not out) mount so I can access my camper, $50 additional in materials. So I guess -$500 in direct cost? The...

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    I want a full size real spare for trip continuation. I punched a large hole in the side of my F250's 35/12.5R16 at a fuel stop in Grapeview, CA, 100 miles north of my destination in Long Beach. There was a major fire at Gorman with the I5 being open and closed off and on. It was priceless to be...

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    I've been thinking about that as with 40s no way will my spare fit so I am putting a 40 gal aux fuel tank there. I would prefer to have lots of clearance from the exhaust, so side exhaust would be a great option. I would be interested if someone has done that on a Ram, so I don't have to...
