    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    That is a "very" interesting upgrade. Im assuming the extra capacity is gained because the DEF tank can be removed? I don't think I will delete the truck. When I bought it I got a "very" extended warranty that covers it from front to back. I really only cared about the motor, trans, Case and...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Sorry I failed to respond to your question. With the STAFS tank there is no room for the winch to fit behind the bumper. I actually have 2 thoughts. 1. Cut, notch and weld in a new center piece that will allow the winch to sit in the bumper between the latch mechanisms for the two swing outs...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Yup, true story... 2 holes drilled in the A-pillar. They use a rubber well nut with a shoulder. I was a little skeptical, but they worked just fine.

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I had a little time yesterday for the truck... :) AEV Raised air intake with the pre filter... I have not installed my front inner fender wells yet to make working on the truck easier. The raised air intake was actually fairly easy and I only spent about 2 hours on it.

    To easy. I think it might just end up in solid works... If it does I will try to import it and post it up with all the measurements.

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    They should be good. As far as being "high clearance" they will provide the best clearance possible, trade off will be they will be mounted in part to the body and when I'm done they will also be tied into the body mount on the frame. Some guys won't like it and would rather have frame mounted...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Randy Ellis Design (RED) rock sliders showed up today. I was able to unbox them and take a preliminary look. I think it won't be very difficult to tie them into the body mounts on the frame creating a continuous surface from the door seal to the frame rail. The under body surface will be flat...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Yeah, my 009 Restyle is jail broke, but i will have to double check on the software that was used to do it.

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Yup, the head unit is the 009 model, RAM Restyle. I am still learning my way through it so forgive my overly simplistic opinion of the head unit. What I don't like: It needs some type of anti glare coating or screen protector, for some reason it catches the glare from the sun and at...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    Again, I absolutely agree. I am really looking hard at building a real set of skid plates to go with the Sleeksters from R.E.D. In the end, there is no such thing as a perfect design, each of us will have a slightly different vision of what we want and what we like. I myself prefer mods that...

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    I agree. When they get here I will take a good look at how to remedy the issues. I am actually hopeful that by building the bottom section that ties into the frame mounts I might be able to then get away with a commercial grade adhesive for the section that overlaps into the door jam. We will...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    I wonder if they will send out a spacer kit as a retro for the previous bumpers? I will be interested in hearing from anyone who buys the new and improved version to see if they have actually fixed the problem. The back up sensors are not a huge issue to me, so long as I have a camera I don't...

    Vanilla Gorilla: 2017 Power Wagon build

    Owwwwwwwww, this is not good to hear. The tire and wheel combo on my truck weighs 168 pounds... I am like you guys, this is very unacceptable, if you have not sorted out your product that you charge a premium for then don't sell it... These companies are so eager to make money that they don't...

    Another Ram 3500 build...

    I think close to 5K is about correct. 1450 for gears 2200 for ARBs 1600 for install and ring gear spacer. plus you need a compressor and it needs to be installed. The Ram axles are actually very easy to set up (ring and pinion wise), both the front and rear use side adjusters for the...
