    Concur with both statements. I ended up with the truck modified as shown for about 12-15k less than a new KR. The purpose of the truck is to be a truck and not care if the kids or trees/rocks ding it now and again. I really just wanted a 4dr diesel Jeep on 37s/39s and one tons, but even with...

    No clue honestly. That is a picture of the response they sent above. Says maybe the gas tank skid would work. I’m more worried about the engine than the gas tank honestly.

    That’s good to know as I believe the OnX6 30” bar is well above that. Maybe the dual control each is under 65 watts. Anyone have a granite crystal or black front bumper with factory fog light holes?..

    Shovel, ax, broom and CO2 tank are going in this week/weekend and will be mounted via Quickfists. Should I use stainless bolts, or are galvanized self tapping metal screws good enough to mount? The CO2 tank only weighs 25# and will be mounted with two straps that are rated to 50#s a piece...

    Got the truck Line-Xed on Friday. Worked on where to put all of our kit. Pretty tight so exploring options of putting the dots on top of the tonneau along with fire pit and fire wood. If I place the 3 cots flat on top of each other, maybe a surfboard cover would protect them from the elements...

    Looks great. Going to start researching as this will save me a 37” tire under my tonneau. I need the room.

    This was reply from Asfir. Looks like rumor is true and I don’t feel like finding out if the gas tank skid will fit haha.

    I believe Cole said that 1in 5 Ram trucks that they have their gear vendor modify has a Torsen style diff in the front. Said one can only find out when they open it?

    My only experience is on road so far. I never drove it stock so I cannot talk a true comparison, but it rides as nice as my Yukon XL Denali with airbags in the rear. I’m waiting to take it off-road and maybe this weekend i’ll Get a chance. Pot holes that jar my teeth in the Yukon (San Diego...

    I went with a buddy today to CJC off-road and spoke with them about the gears. They recommended keeping the factory LSD rear and just doing gears. One of the owners even said some of the 3500s even come with LSD front diffs, but you won’t know until it is opened up. My build sheet only shows the...

    Thanks a bunch for the pics. Makes me second guess not getting white haha. It’s funny how 37s look about perfect to maybe slightly small on these trucks.

    Quick question for you, I just got a quote for gears and ARBs, and it was about 2k more than I expected. The one quote was 5600, the other was 5k and said he needed more info. What did just gear change run you ballpark? Trying to gauge in these San Diego shops are price gouging due to my request.

    Kingsize24 can we get more pics of the bumper from different angles. That thing looks sick. Trying to decide on my front bumper and I think I just found it!

    I did inquire about them as I had a Z-series cap before that I loved. The HD series are very expensive, plus I already ordered the truck with he Diamondback HD tonneau. I’m happy with he DB, but have to get creative with storing the ARB fridge, 37” spare, Springbar 10x14’ tent, table, stove...

    I did a bunch of small updates today. Weather tech floor lines front and rear (yes over the vinyl floors) and weather tech full window reflectors for when I park the truck for dets/deployments. The fit was great for the window coverings. I put 2”x9” 3M safety tape (aka skateboard tape)on the WKO...

    Thanks for that. I haven’t even called/emailed them yet. Kind of a bummer, but if time/funds allow I really want to do some aluminum with uhmw skids below them. Maybe dimple die the aluminum for strength. We’ll see as always things start going great and now my rental house AC went out so i’m...

    The comment about the asfir skids were part of the future mods. I do not have them yet and haven’t ordered them yet either. I will let you know when I pull the trigger. Concur with your comments though as I don’t plan to take this behemoth down the rubicon, so logs and trail debris are my...

    My apologies I meant skid plates. I’m super happy with the WKO sliders. Super burly and while I had reservations about bolt on sliders, they should work for the mild wheeling I plan in doing in a large truck. I love the look of Randy Ellis sliders, but I don’t like the idea of mounting them to...
