    Power wagon rambox problems

    I did (or had done) one last year to carry my RTT. Used the rails, bent up exhaust tubing, made threaded inserts for the rails to make 3 adjustable hoops, turns out only needed 2. Needed a rack in a hurry, and as everyone has pointed out there is next to nothing available for the Rambox. Rack is...

    MY DREAM BUILD… ULTRA-LIGHT "GO FAST" CAMPER.

    I'll chime in coming from the heavy side- as has been pointed out, it all depends on where you want to compromise- and yes with enough $ you can have less compromise. Doing a rig to go anywhere, fast, any climate and be able to live in it (as in month+) rather than "camp" in comfort and...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Sorry- neglected this thread I'll see if I can get some more pics of fenders and front end. The Continentals ride really well- once I got them balanced. Better then he 38" Michelin XL & XML's I had on my '01 previously. I have re-listed the truck for sale on this site. Dropped the price...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    No real updates...still have all the vehicles, but camper is gone. I keep going back and forth on them, hate to let any go- but should. My current pie in the sky wish would be to put a JK Unlimited body on my 5500 with a shortened wheelbase. Would love to have a jeep that could tow! Big fan of...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Yep, does get a little cool here alright. Deleted the stock grid heater- replaced it with a Glacier Diesel Products throttle valve heater http://www.glacierdieselpower.com/product.aspx?pf_id=07510-MF-TVH Less airflow restriction and collection of soot.

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Also just need to say that pretty much everyone we met around Missoula and Phillipsburg were terrific- very friendly. The guys at American Expidition Vehicles we can't say enough about- over and above helping us out (Dave also has an extremely interesting project he is just starting- I may be...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Well, just got back home. The truck got a GDP intake manifold, heater grid delete and throttle tube heater, fuel rail plug, S&B CAI and a 5" exhaust exiting just behind the cab and turned down. Also moved the pyro as it was installed post turbo, so now in the proper location pre- turbo. Drove...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Now you're giving me something to think about! I have been talking to the owner at Gomer's diesel/US Diesel Parts in Missoula, he is the one that recommends the add a turbo, 5" exhaust and head studs- he is doing his best to get me in for next week while I am here (even sold offered to refund...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Another change Just got a flat deck gooseneck trailer, mounted the camper on that with the Jeep behind it. I need the trailer for work so it was justifiable- to me anyway :ylsmoke: Looking at adding a turbo, so twins utilizing the stocker, 5 inch exhaust and head studs. Down in Missoula at...

    Dodge 5500 Flat deck and camper build

    Possible change of plans...or not changing in the first place? Now looking at a couple other possible campers- and keeping the 5500 1) Northern Lite 8' 5": way lighter, but way smaller and less features. Excellent quality. Could go many more places, have more storage on truck, rear deck and or...
