    Another Chassis Conundrum????

    I strongly suggest DRIVING each of your options before getting too invested in the choice. I have a Ram 5500 and absolutely love it and its the most comfortable vehicle to drive I've owned Friend has a Fuso that he is absolutely in love with and swears its his favorite truck ever We swapped...

    The one i ended up trying was KOKANEE Stayed at a RV park on my travels because it was laundry day and grabbed a 30 pack because it was all they had. I am used to drinking cheap crappy beer so i figured it would be no big deal. I forced 3 of them down and couldnt take it anymore and gave the...

    F550 SRW Suspension kits Buckstop / DBL

    Thanks man! I contacted BOTH Thuren and Carli at the beginning and both of them told me they didnt have anything whatsoever compatible with the 4500/5500s That led me to the spacers. I used the spacers for a VERY short time and took them out and installed the Kelderman kit in the front as...

    I know the top of the subframe sits 5” above the top of the frame rails, if that helps at all.

    Thank you! The subframe is a hodge podge of a bunch of different sizes and shapes of tubing. I am not all that happy with it (long story i dont care to elaborate on until i fix it) and a decent portion of it will be redone at a later date. For now, its safe and functional, but definitely...

    The scale goes to 73, soooo Yeah, the boxes are somewhat on the back burner for awhile and lower priority. Will cross that bridge when I get to it. For sure, I’ll give you ample warning when I head up, so you can plan all your fuel stops to meet up ?

    Gassers: Ram 3500 6.4L vs Ford's F350's 6.2 and 7.3 Godzilla for overlanding

    Its not always about range persay If planned right, you can save a decent amount of $ over time. I did the math and my money savings actually paid for my transferflow tank on my tundra fairly quickly. meaning... gas prices vary a TON here in the SW USA If going to Death Valley for example...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    I’ll give your Zing a rating of 4... I have zero doubt HPI could build it perfectly and have no issues paying them to do so What I do have doubt in, is my ability to properly draw it all out for them accurately. Sooooo [insert kissy face and middle finger emoji] I wouldn’t pay someone to...

    Good question for sure... For ME and MY uses, freezing is a non issue. It will honestly get used very rarely and never have all that much in it

    Gassers: Ram 3500 6.4L vs Ford's F350's 6.2 and 7.3 Godzilla for overlanding

    Correct That’s exactly my point. RAM literally uses identical part #s for both of them. Sooo

    Yeah. That’s the plan, kind of Itd be a nightmare to calculate and draw it up to give to HPI to build them that way. I will most likely order them as is, and have a local friend cut, fit, and reweld accordingly to fit the fillers
