While studying for my PhD at Youtube university, i came across a lot of folks that ditched the run flat and just used the beadlock insert. Seems to work well. Some even remove both Using it without either would work also, but the wheel would no longer be a "bead lock" obviously, but would...

Agreed! I am not too savy on the run flats, but i am guessing for all that headache, they dont provide all that much travel time/help. Meaning, if you did get a flat, how long could you actually drive on it safely? And at what speed? Seems like a whole bunch of headache for minimal gain

I am about to install the Kelderman on my 5500. Were you satisfied with it all around?

If the tire is toast (sure looks like it is) just cut it in half to remove run flat

Correct. I misspoke, its electric, not vacuum like the older YJs

You sure on the front? Fords have manual hubs. Rams have a funky vacuum axle disconnect like the old YJ Jeeps.

I've done the Canada/Alaska trip Arctic Circle trip on both a Moto and Last year in my 9mpg Tundra. Seriously, fuel is really a non issue with a minimum of around a 200 mile range. The further north you get the more expensive it gets, but its still plentiful. I saw folks with obscene amounts...

Makes sense. Yeah, the further I got I to Canada the more and more fords totally outnumbered Rams

Not completely true.. I have the Aisin 6-Spd Auto Aisin AS69RC HD Trans behind the Cummins, which is supposedly their beefiest Trans. It shifts like a big huge clunky HD trans, even new, but i'll deal with the hard shifts if it doesnt give me issues :) FWIW: When in Canada and Alaska the Ford...

And worth every cent! Yours is absolutely perfectly designed for my needs as well, and i drool over it! Great work

Yeah, and with the MPT81s i'm spinning around 1700-1750RPMs on the freeway at 65mph which is the Cummins happy place for economy. Need to do more testing, but so far as it sits with no weight on it, i am getting 17-17.5mpg

Thanks! The Ford vs Ram platform is basically a personal preference thing. Both of them have close to the same specs, same options, same price, etc... The big Fords do have a few more suspension options right now, but that's changing. This is my first Domestic, so i had no bias. For me it...

Sierra Expeditions. Will is rad and helpful

Odd, didn't they just put a bunch of re-engineering/tooling into setting the Fusos up for NA with gas motors and such?

Thank you

I really like their design and craftsmanship. I will be borrowing some of their ideas for my build

If you have instagram, check out @usedfourwheelcampers on there, thats where i sold mine, and that's become one of the best resources to find nice used ones its a privately run feed, no affiliation, etc...

That doesn't interfere with the integrity of the panels at all? If not, i am going to investigate doing this further! :)

This is my guess

They are great because you can specify the runners anywhere you'd like in the ceiling, walls, etc... I am just doing some minimal prewiring for some LED interior lights, external marker lights, and fans in the roof before installing it all together. I'll be doing all my plumbing INSIDE the...
