Very nice. I'm going to sketch out how that would work on my SnugTop. Thanks for the write-up. :sombrero:

Check out Chris Collard's (new Overland Journal Editor) Border 2 Border article in Four Wheeler. He drove a fully kitted JK from Mexico to Canada trying to use dirt roads only. He had what looked to be Roto-Pax cans mounted on top in a roof rack. IIRC, there is a horizontal set-up available. I'm...

Whoa! Beefy. And color matched to boot! The additional capacity will be helpful. I'm thinking of running a Mag-Hytec trans pan for the additional fluid and the sensor port. Perhaps DT will begin fabbing those pans also. Keep up the good work! :sombrero:

Another WR250R rider here. Love the bike, but I guess I'm one of the shorties being talked about. It rides fine but straddles tall. I have a lowering link installed and am just about to reupholster my saddle with shorter foam to get my feet closer to the ground. The problem is not in dirt but...

Any new mods? Looks like I'm going to go with the DT Profab driveability kit for the MDR. I've gotten some great responses about different setups from posts here, including yours, but the DT seems to offer everything I'm looking to do for a truck with 218k on the odo. I know you've spoken highly...

Good luck with the sale. Mine is outfitted similarly. Can you tell me about your rear bumper setup? :sombrero:

You are correct! :bowdown: I think I've learned more about control arms in your thread than at any of the sites/stores I've visited. I checked out the JKS arms...I see what you mean, now. Whatever I end up doing I'll need to do it soon...the truck wanders all over the place. How do you like ORW...

Just back in town...thanks for the response. I thought that the DTs had serviceable joints...Johnny or other? I'm probably reading the info incorrectly. I don't plan on using the truck for "serious" offroading...rock crawling, etc. Unfortunately, price point is an issue so Carli/Kore/Thuren are...

How are your control arm bushings holding up? My understanding is that the 2500s are the same/similar to my 1500s. Mine are shot with almost 220k miles and they want a bundle to replace them...mostly labor. I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of DT Profab arms, steering stabilizer, trackbar...

Looking forward to your treatment of the rear cab area. I have the same issues in my Dodge. :sombrero:

X2 on the good alignment shop. Only once have I had a straight tracking truck. All other times it was "within specs". Boo! :mad:

Left a message on your other inquiry about bumpers. If I had a 3/4-ton or more I'd take a look at Caravan Campers in Reno. Metal shell with lots of options...seems very rugged and good looking. Their website is a bit of a pain to get into but worth the look. Or...invest in a Four Wheel Camper...

Get in line...I've been searching for two years. What year is your Dodge? The Gen 3s have a better selection available...nothing for Gen 2s other than Ranch Hand and a few others without the swing arms. I also have a winch I want to mount in the rear but I'm resigned to the fact that it will...

Check out the SD driven by BAT. :sombrero:

Quote: Also steering towards to the right a bit. Checked the steering components and didn't feel any play. Will get it checked and get alignment done. My Dodge truck, and a Dodge van I've driven in the past, both steered slightly to the right. I believe (but cannot prove) that all 2nd gens do...

I'm interested in hearing how long your dry ice lasted. :sombrero:

And...1st Gen Dodges don't get stuck in a little 'ol mud hole. :sombrero:

Count me in on the search. No luck from this end. :sombrero:

Very cool. I've been thinking about replacing my cab-hi SnugTop for something a bit taller..perhaps a Vision. I've also looked at the Flip Pac. Then I started thinking about sourcing a pop top like the ones on my Westphalias, but the thought of me fabbing something like that was scary. Lo and...

Outstanding trip report. It has peaked my interest for the future. Thanks for sharing your adventure and photos/videos. :sombrero:
