Homemade. Took a bent frame chain link gate frame, added cross bars and painted it. Then mounted it to my Yakima load bars and added a Yakima wind fairing. I'll try to get a closer pic
Here's my money pit. It's not very "expo" yet, I'm still just trying to increase off road capability/on road comfort. She's a little dirty from driving around trying to find a hunting lease. I'm planning a trip to Ouchita National Forest soon so I'll have some good action shots then.

Very nice to see another QCLB dodge on here. What size coils did you go with? Is it just a leveling kit or something more?

Diesel fuel weighs approximately 7.15 pounds per gallon (gasoline = 6.073 lbs/gal), so a full tank with 145 gallons adds and extra 1/2 ton or 1,037 pounds to his rig. Wow!

Not really... a 1/4 or 1/2 would have zero payload after fueling.

Fox shock's factory is nearby me. www.ntgracing.com has been involved in installing some new Fox 2.0 non-reservoir units in guy's Dodges and Fords. Universal approval. They're very light w/aluminum bodies as I remember.Here's my money pit. It's not very "expo" yet, I'm still just trying to increase off road capability/on road comfort.

When the bed's off consider doing the tank vent mod which relocates the vent tube higher on the tank allowing 4 more gallons to be loaded. I recently put 38.5 gallons in mine @ $4.17(before the Ca gas debacle) for a whopping total of approx. $156. Ouch. The light had just come on meaning I still had 2-3 gallons in there.

Thanks! They are 3" springs from Don Thuren ( www.thurenfabrication.com ) he specializes in suspensions for dodge pickups. They are definetly more than a leveling it because he's spent so much time and research in to them. Check out the website, you cannot find better suspension for a dodge than Thuren.

That's partially why I have a M101/116a3 to haul the gear needed for any given situation and my diesel get's great mileage too.

Has 412,000 miles. Little by little I'm gonna make it better. So nice having a big noisy truck to drive around Los Angeles. Has third gen 17s now with slightly bigger tires. Cant go bigger without sticking a spare somewhere else.
Plan to keep using the lance till I can find a deal on a popup style or maybe a flippac..
