    Another Ram 3500 build...

    That’s what we have been doing with the Yukon setup. I have a yeti roadie and that we use for small items, but when we go camping for a few days we bring full size orange/apple/fruit juice bottles so I may need to get a larger yeti to facilitate that. Gives me an excuse to get a tundra 50since...

    Another Ram 3500 build...

    Thank you for your service Sir. I feel weird when people thank me as the military has given me so much but it’s appreciated. The large amount of ram builds including yours are why I titled the thread his way haha. Ground to bottom of sliders is 18 3/4. The lowest part of the truck is the lower...

    Another Ram 3500 build...

    I asked a local gear specialist but he never got me my quote. I want to do 4.88s and ARBs, but i’m Super satisfied with the 37s so May just go 4.10/4.30 and call it a day. With the Aisin the 3.42s aren’t bad honestly. It’s peppy, but geared I have a feeling it would be a rocket. Future mods are...

    Another Ram 3500 build...

    Hi all figured i’d Post this build up as most of y’all have inspired me with yours. I’m an AD Marine stationed in San Diego and living/flying around the desert SW over last ten years has motivated me to get out and explore it more towards ground level. We have a Yukon XL, but the more we explore...

    2018 Ram 3500 G56 Expedition Family Adventure Vehicle

    Awesome truck! Who did you order the truck through? I ordered my 18 Ram Cummins/Aisin on Feb 13th and I still won’t have the truck until the end of this month!

    Ram 2500 XL for overland / expedition trips

    So I have absolutely no affiliation, but what about Trail Ready 20” beadlocks? You can custom order any back spacing and they will be wicked light for a 20” wheel. I ordered my 18 Ram and it’s still being shipped. Phase two will be the flares, 42s and the trail ready wheels. Saved some coin not...

    New find for radius arm ram trucks

    Thanks to all for costing me 1400 more dollars for a truck that I haven’t even received yet as Ram has taken 8 weeks to get my custom built truck to me... Solid information in this thread as well.

    Awesome concept. Hope they build it.

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    Thank you for all of the links. Any thoughts on instead of going PW, just buy the run of the mill 4x4 6.4L Hemi? Priced out those are only 31-32k. The extreme price difference allows for a lot of modifications... Thoughts?

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    Totally agree. I'm leaning towards the Pintop 2.5" if i go Ford/Carli. Seems to be perfect and under 6k which is nice for all of the options. Goal is for 37s and that should cover it. Good thing now is that damn hurricane is barreling towards my other home that has been for sale for a while...

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    Last update today, first, I didn't realize I wasn't getting individual messages for responses. I didn't realize anyone had replied yet to this thread so my apologies. Second, my dad literally just bought my ideal truck... a White/tan F-350 KR long bed. I don't know if I'm happy for him or...

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    I should have specified. If I get the Ram it will be the 3500 with the Aisin transmission. I'm a big fan of the Allison and the Aisin seems to be a Japanese knock off of the Allison 1000, but upgraded significantly. I have to get the 3500 to get the Aisin. Plus this gives me leaf springs in...

    With the Yukon XL we have, I park away from every idiot anyway. My wife and kiddos have gotten used to walking 1/4 mile to go into a store. People here in SoCal don't care about your vehicles and will drive shopping carts or their hoopties into your car!

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    With all of my military moves, having a diesel and a 24ft race car trailer allows me to make extra money by moving all of my stuff. I've moved 9 times in 10 years and that money is very welcomed on our fixed pay!

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    That is absolutely my plan with the KR truck. Small level/lift and 37s. Also, stock tire size is 34.5" so the slightly larger tires won't work the driveline components too hard I believe. I have found out the resale of all of my diesel trucks have been great, between that and my love of...

    Next truck, 4 different options...

    Hi all i need some advice on my next truck build. I have 3xKids and a dog so i need something fairly large. I have somewhat ruled out the Diesel ZR2 and potentially any current or future wrangler as all three kids are in car seats currently. Those vehicles are just too small. I would prefer...

    Southwest '17 F150 build. Going faster than your average rig.

    Sick build. Do you think for the average Joe they still could come out significantly ahead of the raptor? I'm pricing out my next truck, and the raptor is on the list, but for 70+ thousand dollars i have two other vehicles in mind to build first. I haven't considered just heavily modifying a...

    Cummins 2.8L Diesel "Repower" engine kit

    I'm just excited manufacturers are looking to supply this market. I hope they get a ton of orders and bring other crate engines options. On their survey on the re power website it asks what other crate engines would you be interested in. The 5.0 cummins would be great in 4dr JKs and land...
