This definitely not going to end well!!! I have been building diffs for over a decade for rock buggies. You need to get someone to help you who has done this before. Bearings that are too tight, gears that do not have proper backlash, and the right pattern will seize or break really fast (like...

Here is a pic of my setup on a flatbed I built a few months ago. The flatbed was the best mod I have made to my truck and camping setup. Extra room on the sides and I can do tree work when I am not camping.

Personally I would stay away from the 6.2 and the 6.5 chevy diesels. They are not know for their reliability or power. The cost would outway the return on your investment. You would be better off looking for a vehicle that already had a diesel in it. Some states will not allow a diesel to be put...

What size winches are people running on their full-size truck camper rigs? I used to be huge into Rockcrawling, but have since retired from that and enjoy camping with my family while flyfishing, ATVing and bowhunting here in Colorado. I have a 2000 Ram 2500 with a flatbed and a 2600lb. hardside...

Well i just ordered a set of air lift air springs from amazon. They should be here in a few days. I just couldn't stand not having the ability to level the truck with a load. Plus the noise of my spacers sqeaking was driving me crazy.Thanks for all the input.

I did not have my overload spacers on for the test fit. My truck usually sits about 3 inches taller with the spacers. I made some spacers out of 2x4 steel and they bolt onto my overload springs. I have been debating whether to install air bags or not. I have heard good and I have seen bad. Any...

What does the tag say on the back of the tcase? The 231 came a in a few versions. J for jeeps, D for dodge and chevy had a version and then there was the HD and the DHD. I think you have a the 231 dodge version. They are are all very similar on the inside, the differences were mounting and the...

I actually gained a ton of storage that was wasted with my old bed. I can fill the area between my side boards and my camper. I have a full 8'long x 21"tall x 14" deep area to fill on both sides. I am looking for side tool boxes right now for my guns, fly rods, camping chairs, table, chainsaw...

My camper has a 90" width. That is one reason why I bought my Northstar. Lance and some other manufacturers are slightly wider. My flat bed is 85" wide giving me a 2.5" gap on either side. I built a trailer for my ATV and DS bike a few months ago with the exact same dimensions so that if the...

Awesome choice. I am a diehard mopar man and I will definitely keep and eye on this build. Hardest part of a project is deciding where to start.

The picture is actually missing the turnbuckles. It attaches to the slider rails of the stake pockets. I am currently trying to design a better spring loaded turnbuckle. I am not impressed with what is available on the market. I should have a prototype built in the next few weeks.

I am new here and thought I would share pic of my expedition rig in the making. I just finished building the flatbed. Here is the day after the flatbed was installed and put the camper on for a test fit. It fits perfect. Next is bumper with winch, new tires, 2" lift, toolboxes for the sides...

I am doing the same with my 2000 CTD Ram. I just finished my flatbed build and now I prepping for front bumper with winch, side bars for the family and custom tool boxes to fit on the sides of the flatbed. Trying to make it a family expedition rig. We spend our summers flyfishing, ATV riding and...

Any Dodge dealer will have a service manual with everything you need. Give them the serial number off the tag on the rear case half and they will get you the correct book. Check www.genosgarage.com for manuals and CD's also. 241 HD is a very easy t case to rebuild. I used to do them in under...
