Bummer…but glad to hear it’ll be back soon. ?

I seem to remember us loading a broken down adventure bike into the back of Ty's Dodge when exiting Saline. Perhaps Ty should be designated official "rescue truck" of DTs; don't leave home without it. Glad to see your truck back on the trail!

My cousin has the BabyMax and loves it. It has impressive power and efficiency for its size. If it were me (pause to dress myself in armor) I'd go right for the 5.3. Very reliable, more than adequate power in a 1500, and decent efficiency while drinking 87 octane. Our 2010 Burb with 185k miles...

I had the same issue on my old Dodge around the same mileage. I bought new "OEM" springs with an additional leaf (not a short overload leaf) from an online source, don't remember the company but there are several out there. I would not go with the 2500 spring set, way overkill for that vehicle...

Looking boss Rob. Hope all is well.

I use the 4-gal Aquatainers for non-drinking water...easier to carry/move around. I use 1-gal bottled water easily purchased in the USA at almost any store for drinking. Yes, takes up space but hassle-free and "trusted". I've taken a look at the Front Runner tanks and like them a lot except for...

All of my vehicles get an oil change at 5k; the '05 Element and the '02 Silvy get semi-syn and the '10 Burb gets full-syn. Other fluids get factory recommended intervals, severe service for the Silvy if off-road use (not much of that the last 2 years). Of note: my mechanic uses a trans fluid...

^^^ This. I'm tired of bending over to climb "under" getting in the back of the truck. It would be much easier to climb up into the bed area. Would I miss the tailgate? Yes...for about a minute.

Exactly. Once the true “cost” of RV ownership…maintenance, fuel costs, storage…comes home to roost, there’ll be a glut of lightly used, late model units for sale. Want to buy a Class A or C? Just wait until late next year.

Yup, that's their standard CYA comment. While its true in general, it's only true because they don't/won't take steps to go the extra mile around the bed rails. Now the tailgate...that's a different story. I hope the follow-up visit works out.

I have a Leer, leaks like a sieve, unlike the Snugtop on my Ram. ? Even though it’s under the window I’ll bet it’s coming from the front. On my Chevy the bedsides wrap up and over the front wall where the canopy sits. Just that small difference in thickness is enough to force water through, and...

I’ve used my MaxTrax, same technique. ?

Luan and indoor/outdoor carpet glued to it. Took care of condensation dripping down on me (dries quickly when exposed to fresh air) and added a layer of insulation and sound deadening.

I’d think twice about a winch, not so much because of the winch but due to the mounting requirements. Unless your vehicle has a hidden winch option the bumper weighs a ton. Disregard if you need the bumper for frontal protection. Hi-lift jack. Heavy and potentially dangerous. I’ll trade the...

Depends…”man’s got to know his limitations.”

Load ratings. Max PSI on my wife’s P-metric Michelins tops out at 41#. That’s fine (barely) for the kind of road trips we take. Anything heavier would require an LT LR-D max PSI 65# or LR-E like the ones I run on the truck…max PSI 80#.

All good advice about sleeping under a shell, the carpeted ceiling/sides make a BIG difference. I had a BedRug in the Dodge ? they don’t make one for my model Chevy. I used a plywood floor and ”other brand” (don’t remember the name) of carpet for the floor. Very nice on a cold morning. For a...

I really like sleeping in tents…but seldom do anymore. The ease of climbing in the back, the superior weather protection (especially high winds), and the added security if I’m away from camp all point to the back of my truck and “hi-rise” shell. I do miss the roominess and stand up height of a...

Roll-A-Cot. Packs small, simple set-up, two widths to choose from, and comfort adjustable. I’ve used them in a tent, in the back of my truck, at our cabin, and on a horse pack trip. ?

From my '02 2500HD XC LB 6.0: Rough measurement using channel lock pliers (no caliper available) dual 3# in & out. Dual out reduced to single almost immediately. Hangs far too low.
