Pick the tire you want, and reach out to the MFR for inflation pressures for said tire and size for both C and E. If there is a difference, go with the higher load (as it will likely allow less pressure for a given weight). If there is NOT a difference, then a C should be plenty for your...

You might consider a hybrid. Purchasing an off the shelf aluminum unit from a more main stream agricultural company such as CM or many others. Then add the lower boxes from someone like SET at a later date. You can buy them one at a time, and there are different size options. See fenders or...

Rear Spring Install The replacement rear spring pack has been sitting in the garage for over a week, and we wanted to get it installed before heading out to Memorial Day. Between prepping the house for paint, a stop over at Expo West, and some libation with friends, this ended up being a...

Check out Timberline Heaters. They use a planar coolant heater, combine it with liquid to air radiators and fans for cabin heat, wet to wet plate exchanges for making hot water, etc. (look up beer wort cooling and you'll get the idea) I can tell you that they are an expensive option. Think...

I looked at getting a Silky, gas and electric chain saws, and the like when we used to ride dirt bikes in the mountains around Idaho. We would go up and clear trail on early season rides each year. Due to size/weight/time/availability of electricity (now, not when I was riding a dirt bike) I...

A few small updates... Get Sprung I picked these up from the FedEx freight center on Friday. 143 lbs each, so I should say a FedEx guy helped me pick them up. We should see the correct u-bolts by mid week, with maybe an install next. Factory springs have 4x micro-springs, which essentially...

A box of parts showed up yesterday afternoon, and I had a half hour or so to mess around. This was a foot long HDPE tootsie roll. Some measuring and an easy cut with the miter saw yielded 6x pucks with the exact thickness needed to space thing apart. Run them over to the drill press in an...

Had to look up what you were talking about. Interesting that they have upper cabinets that raise/lower with the roof. Should help quite a bit with organization.

I'd mount the tent so that the top of it ends up at roughly the same height as how you will travel most of the time. i.e. if you have a rack on the cab that sits empty, set the top of the tent to the top of that empty rack. It you keeps bins or something in it most of the time, adjust to the...

Teaser Fabrication of tray mount brackets halfway done...waiting on more material, some Delrin, and grade 8 hardware. Left to right is bottom to top. The nut and bolt will be swapped out with grade 8 material that is not threaded the entire way. The nut will be nylock. Add a washer above...

I don't think there is a single reason, but a balance of reasons that point in a direction when you add them up. Personal reasons we entered the truck market with a Ram are: Aesthetics - Purely subjective, but that's where we're at Interior build quality (for the spend) - They've invested a...

Lift Install Lifting a cab/chassis is not for someone who wants turn key, easy button. It is not that it is difficult to do, so much that there is a lack of support and knowledge. The front of the truck is essentially the same as a traditional 3500, so all the same parts fit. The rear has...

I’ve pulled a trailer with a truck, living full time for a year and a half. I owned a 140” wheelbase sprinter before that, and a 170” wheelbase after that. Both vans were self builds. I’ve had a few people pay me to do builds for them when I had a shop. I am not building out a 1 ton ram...

Throw it on the front if you have a limited slip or locker in the back, and you should be good to go. You might set of some type of sensor that would correct once things were back to normal. You might have to do the front to rear tire shuffle to get to that point though.

This one came setup with 3.73. Once I reprogram the tire size, that will modify the shift points and bring it back into where it needs to be. It wants to upshift too soon, so I used the tow/haul button to let it rev our a little more. Before I was sitting at 1500 at 65, and expect that will...

The top sleeve required drilling out with a 5/8” bit. I smoked one going too fast, and had to run down to the Depot to get a nicer Milwaukee unit. No issues after that. I did have to space the passenger side out 1/2” with a shim. I may have had clearance in the notch, but wanted to be sure...

The shocks are intended for a different platform. Now that I have them mounted (pics and story to follow, as I am traveling for work) I know what it takes to fit them. No one from any of the manufacturers had an answer for this cab/chassis. The secret sauce only works with a little bit of...

I have a RIG'd on the back of our 100 that works well. You can add other items to it, like a drop down table, etc. if you want to as well. The amount of weight the RIG'd system plus tire would add compared to a full blown swing out bumper system should be less, but the difference it probably...

Hope to free up some valuable space in the garage by removing 4x large tires and a bunch of lift parts: Oh and these showed up today too, so no need (hopefully) to cut and raise the lower shock mounts to temporarily accommodate the lift as these have the lift accounted for with the stock lower...

Shake down trip in Moab, and some observations. It's about six hours to Moab traveling through reservation land. There are a lot of free range areas, so driving at night can be dangerous. This was the first chance to try out our lights. XL sports used as fogs worked well to light up the...
