Other side.

It pivots down, the entire assembly. There is a second mount you can not see behind the tire that lowers it. I think they changed the design a little but cool idea.

THANKS! That is about what our speedometer was off before the ALPHA OBD correction. We have 4.89's ordered with the truck for the MPT81. FINALLY got the speedometer correct. MOST IMPORTANTLY the transmission shift points are now correct. . It was a DOG before! Safe Travels! CHEERS!!

Mike, Just wondering what gear ratio you currently have?

I believe that is the finished version of the cut away I posted a picture of. (Post 362) I REALLY like their idea. I could modify it to fit our rig. I would have to see if they would sell the carrier to me, or parts of it, in raw form to be powder coated later. It would easily mount on our...

WOW! That is a picture. What PSI were you running in the MPTS’S? Just curious?. Sand is always fun. Wet Georgia clay scares me! Pig snot! I am away from the rig by a few states. The traction boards we purchased were tested at some crazy weight and USA MADE. I will get the exact details...

Thanks for the kind words! LOOKING FORWARD to the get aways! CHEERS!!

On a totally different note. Removed 3 of the boxes, an easy 45 minute job, to spray Raptor liner on all 4 boxes. Grey tank box before it gets mounted and plumbed. Just sprayed the bottoms, front facing side and wheel wells. We used Raptor liner on our front fenders but it was the first...

The off road test we did at OAT on the yard track, the truck did really well. Now with that being said we are not going rock crawling with this setup?. It is 11’ 6” tall so I have no fantasies of doing the Jeep trails in Moab! We have planned and worked really hard to keep most of the...

Mike, Hoping 3 pictures are worth a thousand words. This is pre bumper but you can see how the rear of the subframe is attached to the truck frame and spring mount. See what you think after you look at the pictures. There should be no movement between the box and the subframe at the rear of...

Progress...and Alpha OBD :) Grey tank time! Getting the fuel fill angle correct. 1" PVC fits perfect in the stock filler neck. Shower drain also. The tank fits with a little room for insulation and all the fittings and valves. I should be able to reach everything from the front. The...

AWESOME to see the progress! Looking GREAT!! CHEERS!!

A little confusion......I tried to spell it out. :) The ONLY time any real weight will be on the rear wall, multipoint mounted rack system, will be if we need to use the spare tire. The subframe and associated welded hitch will take all of the weight and day to day abuse of carrying the...

A "stock" tire being the one that came with the truck from Dodge :) Stock rim and tire 121 LBS X 6 Super Singles, MPT 81 and Buckstop steel rim 202 LBS X 5 Yes I am sure, just put them on the scale ourselves :) to be sure. CHEERS!!

Some progress....Still catching up on "other" projects :) Alpha OBD it is! Get to learn something new. Some really good forums other there. PARTS: Samsung Android phone, new cheap Walmart version. Wanted a new battery so decided against an old phone. This...which they actually make for our...

Well this might change some things insurance wise.....for the better WE HOPE! State Farm just raised our rates from $150 a month to $200 a month. Having an expensive "box truck" on the back does not help with the commercial insurance policy we have. When we purchased our truck we knew it was...

AGREED 110%! NOTHING worse than redoing something because you were spent, mentally or physically! Amazing build! CHEERS!!

WELL WELL...what do we have here. Will not be a cheap option but nice base vehicle. I might be a little biased. Looks like RAM 5500 CAMPERTHING was on to something :) https://www.aev-conversions.com/vehicles/prospector-xl-cab-chassis/ CHEERS!!

THANKS for the real world feedback. Still on the fence. Truck will be sitting, getting worked on, for the next month. Sounds easy enough. Thanks for the link. CHEERS!!

This device is used in van builds. I have run across this in a friends Road Trek. I should start working on my grey tank in about 2 weeks. I also do not want standing water in a p-trap, it would have to be outside in the box with the gray tank. The box will be insulated but still. Simple...
