That’s our current set up and your right about options, though since we got our box, the box options have improved and some have even dragged themselves into the modern age. We’ve got at minimum two years poking our nose into places we just fit (yes chainsaw) then we’ll try transitioning to...

… chassis cab only and must be brought / supplied by AEV. I liked the idea of the biggest little truck (3500) with a hard side box as we already have the truck and it’s the next step in the compromise. Would I like a new truck? Sure, but then I’m back to square one with...

Can only talk about Truckhouse BCR and Supertramp Megatron… You want one of their boxes? Well you got to buy the truck as well and it’ll be the one they tell you to get (spec of said truck you may choose). No interest in putting them on a older truck for “warranty purposes” was one answer...

Holding up, Yes. First year of ownership you’ll want to do a few wrench checks as it settles in. They creak when wheeling, some 3/16” UHMW between the chassis and cross bars helps. Happy? It works, I wouldn’t say I was thrilled at how many “opportunities to improve “ presented themselves and...

Come on, tell them!

@Todd n Natalie, Based on that intended use I’d be looking at just the Norden. The second hand market bikes will more than likely come with heated grips, bash plate and luggage solutions. I test road a 890 R back to back with a 701 LR, went 701 for intended purpose. If I was commuting...

Sweet mother of insanity!!! I have had some crazy ideas but thats Chuck Norris level!

Yep what @nickw said plus… 901 Specific thread here… takes you too the end https://advrider.com/f/threads/husqvarna-norden-901.1414087/page-128 The 901 Expedition is more like the 890 R but slightly less focused , the regular Norden is more in between regular 890 S … Get me to the Dirt via...

With Mitts being out of Australia and just selling a preconfigured boxes this idea may not be an option… their rear section seems larger (probably just camera angle) but could the area in red Be turned into the slide out? You could even keep the side openings giving you multiple access...

Outside bench table winner idea. If that could run the full length of the bed and folds down and the twin doors on the side were a single door, opening up with ability to lock in the up position momma is getting close to functional cooking area… maybe the sink could swing out of the box one...

@hdas, can the concern about transport turn into an opportunity to answer a $ 2,140 question? I’d be asking AEV to have a truck similar to yours fitted with the 8100’s available to test drive so you can back to back your truck over the same piece of road. Then you’ll know and mentally you...

I can confirm @UglyViking ’s points on BFG KM2, they came fitted on our truck, completely dead at 25 K ( with camper on for 15K). Lucked out with the TKO 3 having just become available, got 40 K out of those, currently got KM 3, wearing at a similar rate

@ramblinChet … respectfully, With reference to AEV suspension, I break it into two distinct parts. They’re lift and the solution for correcting spring alignment, steering and axle placement. Opinion after 60 k miles (60% dirt, 40% road) excellent, I never even think about it. The shock...

Ram 3500, rear axle is rated 7000 lb, it’s 3300 ish unloaded and 6000 loaded, drives just fine with the mods. Mr @UglyViking, that was exciting find, I’m thinking my bank balance is in jeopardy 😃

We’ll now, ask and you shall receive, hadn’t seen those, I’ll give them some research, thanks for the heads up… Back to @hdas… An unintended advantage of the airbag control is you can actually affect how the truck drives in various situations. It’s not massive but by raising the rear you put...

@UglyViking got it right, I meant run 35’s or 33’s on all 5 wheels, sure the “look” will be different but we’re talking function. Also I think AEV have stopped offering re-gearing, but you should check. If you’re going to climb into places a smaller diameter is going to be easier on the...

@klahanie is bang on the money with that advice, “ de-couple “ is great way to phrase it… sweet piece of concise writing. So you want the AEV setup, great, that doesn’t mean you have to run a 37, run a 35 or 33, spare tire challenge goes away. Some context on how we came to our set up may...

I’ll chip in a perspective on off the shelf vs custom for the flatbed. I’ve got a Norweld. I didn’t know what I needed so went fully optioned weekender and figured I’d 86 the stuff that was of no use but have it there for the next owner. Positive, off the shelf is it’s all there, you just got...
