    Well that sucks! I wasnt aware, or informed a primer was needed for the Korapop to Alunimum. Its a little too late now for these pieces. :( I guess i'll see how it goes and use primer from now on. LUCKILY, none of these mounts so far are load bearing! Whew

    A few small updates. Its been slow going. 8020 has a huge backlog so the shipping times for the extrusions has caused a lot of delays here. I got the AC and DC breaker panels in, and mostly wired (waiting on a couple more labels to arrive to make it complete and tidy. I originally had these...

    I'm just a dumb old lazy redneck that wants things that work regardless of the "Instafame" cred Ha... Its admittedly rare, but it does happen! :P #fakenews, no more Meheeko for me, UT/AZ are where the goodness is at now! Yes, I have a lot of mass, as does my truck! :) Yessir, I used to...

    I mounted it using the included brackets, and bolted it right to the floor, and then sealed around the bolts. As for the fan/venting. I havent even touched that yet, or even spent any time trying to figure it out. I have too many other things going on at the moment.

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    Yessir, that’s correct I didn’t realize how much it flexed until after the fact. It’s not something I really paid much mine to before that build.

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    Careful on the “fully boxed frame” logic. Some trucks have what look like fully boxes frames, and they are, KINDA My Tundra for one was “fully boxed” from about the front leaf spring perch back and it was C channel right where the cab and bed met. THAT is where it all flexed, and that frame...

    Its really apples to oranges really... Ive had (2)FJ40, (1)FJ60, (3)FZJ80, and (1) UZJ100 Land Cruisers. All 7 of them were locked front and rear. Mainly just "because" I've done the Rubicon in both the 40 and the 80, and engaged the front locker once on the 40 and never once on any of the...

    Yeah, but some folks here love to argue silly semantics. It’s become the norm unfortunately

    Thanks, and my pleasure Half the reason I do it is to share what I’m doing to give others ideas The other half is... none of us know it all, regardless how long we’ve been doing things. So when certain folks speak up and tell me I’m doing something wrong (totally possible) I listen and...

    As of now, there are NO locker options for the 2019+ Ram 4500/5500. It’s a non issue for me on this build really. I’ve had front snd rear lockers on all my other rigs and can count the time Ive actually needed/used them on one hand On another note, with the 5500 “limited slip” option (I think...

    Both platforms have their pros and cons, i strongly suggest driving both before making your decision based on paper specs. No, i used the stock track bar, and the buckstop bracket. Yes, their lower mount looks janky, which is exactly what i didnt go with it. I am confident a friend can build...

    I tried and tried to research them, but there is VERY limited feedback on them from ACTUAL users. Lots of marketing and claims, but real world feedback that involves any type of offroading doesnt seem to exist.
