No, I haven't attempted that yet. Currently I just carry all the gear to fix a common puncture/flat. If it's catostrophic, I can run the stock to limp it somewhere. But, the plan is to run a full size spare on the top of the Decked strapped down.
Decided I wanted a weather resistant cover for gear in the bed with the possibility of sleeping in it and I couldn't recommit to a RTT so it didn't make sense to continue to run.
Currently running a Softopper as a quick/lightweight solution.

I've got an off road camper I pull when it's...
Really pleased with mine so far. 37x12.50r17 with roughly 4600 miles on them so far. I've had them in mud, gravel, snow, rain and pounded pavement with no complaints. Smooth and quiet and they handle well on the large truck.
A few photos from some recent trips.
New River Gorge NPS area in West Virginia & the Linville Gorge area outside of Lake James.
I mounted the Expedition One bed rack for a brief moment. If anyone is interested I'd be willing to sell it locally in NC.
Well, if you go to their website and plug in your truck information you'll find what they make for your specific vehicle. Hearsay isn't the best thing to work off of...
Hypertech
More specifically, the unit I used. It comes with everything needed to perform the task.

Thanks! I use the Ram provided platform and run the fridge behind the driver seat. The PLB sits in the middle on the floor with the option of plugging it in to the factor outlet if needed. It's working great so far. The only thing that would make it better would be it it open on the side rather...
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on it and maybe do some preventative heat protection. I've done some "stick my hand under there" testing after driving for a while and felt no heat transfer to the bumper.
I cancel the MDS often while driving. A truck this size should not have it. But...

67Designs Phone Holder
This was made out of a JKU single ball mount that I already had. Dremel tool and some test fitting...it's held up great.
iPad Air cup holder mount
Made this also, it's a weather tech cup holder mount with a pvc cap and a Ram...
Communications
I've had the pleasure of working with Midland USA for the last 12 months or so. We use several models of their radios for communications with our expedition team and adventures. I've run the MXT400 in my JKU for a year with great results. Any time we are out of the vehicles I...
Exhaust.
Since day one, the exhaust...more specifically, the Resonator bugged the crap out of me. It just looks like an oversight. Hanging there all ugly, waiting to be removed.
I went with the Magnaflow Catback system that replaces the muffler, resonator and a short section of tail pipe...
More storage...
Blueridge Overland Gear is my go-to for bags and various soft storage items. I'm using the Molle Seatback Panel mounted front facing on my rear seat. It's working great to store my Element Fire Extinguisher, First Aid kit and another BROG bag housing Midland GMRS handhelds...

Storage Solutions
Decked USA was a fairly easy decision. Clean, simple install, and great functionality. Installs easy in an afternoon and from then on you've got good storage and organization of any items you can fit in the drawers. I added the core trax rails as tie downs, the...
First item to address was the wheels and tires. As most everyone has said or noticed, these tires are very small proportionally for the truck. The ~33 inch tires helped achieve great numbers in RTI testing and a few other areas...but aesthetically, they had to go. (And are for sale if anyone is...
Build Thread for my 2019 Ram Power Wagon.
Granite Crystal - Stock configuration ...had most all the options. It's easier to say what it doesn't have...which is the dual alternators, secondary switch panel, and the adaptive cruise functions. Maybe a few other items, I'll list them if I come up...
