Yep. Not exactly apples to apples (nice trim adds a lot of weight) but my ‘18 2500 diesel Laramie had a 1950lb payload and my ‘22 3500 diesel Tradesman has a 4250lb payload.

A little pumpkin bombing action from yesterday. https://youtube.com/shorts/qs1aGaEM8Us?si=KQSdVqtQXUmoLjob

Nice spot to take a break. How long was she in repair after the crash?

Just around Fairbanks. The take off and flying isn’t too much different than what I was used to years ago but the landing is definitely something to adjust to.

Knocked out a few hours in a super cub working on the tail wheel endorsement. For not having flown fixed wing in 19 years it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. Definitely different flying a plane that small and light when you’re used to something ten times heavier with 25 times the horsepower.

A bit of both. A lot of campground plugs are not rated for a continuous high (32-40amp) draw for an EV changing as opposed to powering a camper AC unit or two. Some are wired so that multiple sites share a breaker that isn’t rated to the full capacity of all sites simultaneously. There’s also...

That varies depending on campground. Some let you do it and don’t care, some let you do it but charge a fee for the extra electricity used, some don’t allow it at all.

The Army.

Doesn’t sound so bad. I just flew there a few days ago and will be back up through again today if weather in the pass holds out. Looks like fun flying those little birds around. I need to get off my ass and buy a bush plane so I can get out to some of the remote cabins in Wrangell-St Elias.

How was the Denali tour flying? I’ve been considering it as a post retirement part time gig.

Jumping Jack trailers? Basically a utility trailer with a canvas tent on top. https://www.jumpingjacktrailers.com/check-out-our--tent-trailer-6x12

Not a full bumper and might need a different winch but maybe an option? https://www.cjcoffroad.com/products/vice-designs-hidden-winch-mount-2013-2018-ram-2500-3500-6-7-cummins

Probably works the same way as a normal drive axle and only regens on deceleration.

Nice. My Cache Camper has been doing well for me so far. It’s built out more and heavier than the Fishhook but still way under my 3500’s payload.

Right now a Starlink Mini ($299 in US) and its service ($10/month 10GB) is cheaper than a good quality radio and antenna and arguably far more useful in more situations. I’d still go with an Inreach or PLB for emergency use over either option.

You typically don’t get gasoline but free air CO2 capture technology has been used successfully to create various fuel sources out of the extracted carbon.

They both work fine. Unless you’re running some kind of high bandwidth online business the high performance is absolutely unnecessary. The Mini is smaller, doesn’t require a separate router and still gets 100mbps and faster when I use it. The Standard will let you put the router inside your...

You can select either the mini or standard dish for your service when purchasing it.

Do you know what model your power converter is? Depending on that it may be as simple as flipping a switch to change to a lithium charge profile. If it isn’t compatible it is easy and fairly cheap to swap to a converter that is. Do you have solar? Same concept there - does your current charge...

My mini draws about 20 watts. It needs a 100 watt USB-C PD or also works with a 65 watt USB-C PD with a short cord.
