Full Size Dodge Thread

[Abdiel]

Here is my hated by my wife 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.2L auto 145,000 miles. I've had her for two and a half years. Bought it for $1500 with the lift, wheels already installed. I has many flaws that I've been fixing here and there. I've done a lot maintenance items like ball joints, wheel bearings, brakes, fluid changes, AC service etc. She is far from perfect or done but she has been fun and has taken me on many adventures with hopefully more to come. But coming up on the spring the oil guzzling engine will be replaced and the transmission will be rebuilt. Goals are to make more reliable and safer so I can continue to enjoy the outdoors with my family. Also my son is two years old and love to ride in the truck. So we can't get rid of it. Here is a picture of playing in the snow this weekend in NC

Hi from Austria,

after driving Land Rovers (Series 3 and Defenders) for over 20 years, i decided to add a little bit more comfort to our overland trips. (Still drive my modified Defender 110 pop top camper)
I looked for a Bremach, but they were really expensive. In a German forum, i found a thread about a RAM Cummins pop up camper. Within 10 days I found a nearly Rust free Gen 2 Cummins and within a month a pop up camper. (The only pop up built for a RAM by this German manufacturer)
Added 315/75 R 16 tires, fender flares,..... Next steps: rear 100% locker, exhaust brake, torq loc, shift kit,....

:sombrero: Well, in Chrysler-- I've had Power Wagons/Ramchargers and jeeps--

They've all been great and dependable, so never having a RAM, I'm trying this one out and we'll see-

I never have been to crazy about Goodyear Wranglers(tires), but I'll put some miles on these before I change tires/wheels

This is Northern Nevada between Fernley and Reno--about 15 minutes from my Nv home/4200 feet alt-about 22 deg F on Friday 1/6/2017

Time will tell-

Looks good! Why the switch from AEV to Methods? Purely aesthetics reasons?

Someone made me an offer i couldnt refuse on them. I got them pretty cheap and sold them for double what i paid. Also i wasnt too sold on black wheels lol. Thanks for the compliments! She serves me pretty well, and with the crap road i live on the suspension makes a huge difference in ride. Plus pulls my boat pretty well.

 

[Regcabguy]

Getting new tires, new rear leaf spring pack, and shocks this week. Hopefully she will handle a little better all that weight. Plan to do a Hellwig sway bar at some point but I'm about to drive south from AK and shipping to here was more than the part...

The Hellwig Big Wig works wonders for stability.

Here is my 2013 larmie, big changes are in the works for the tent rack including dedicated batteries with solar charging as well as power/lights in the tent, a water tank with the equipment for a hot shower and some more off the grid goods. Hopfully I'll have suspension stuff from thuren by spring time.

My Cummins

I bought my 14 Cummins Tradesman new and after about a year I took the plunge and put a carli suspension under it along with a Leer camper shell. I've been enjoying it ever since.
