I was inspired by this company's product: https://www.wheeldesks.com/ YouTube also has quite a few videos of other products/reviews and some DIY videos.

Sorry I haven't been on in a while... here's a drawing of mine... this should get you close if you're making one of your own. I started with a cardboard cut out to verify positioning and clearances before cutting mine out of 1/2 birch ply.

Hi, I've recently taken a new job that is really going to let me roam... so I'm in the same situation. I also require good ergo' as I need to do a lot of CAD and digital sketching while out and about. I found a company that makes steering wheel mounted desks. There are wood and molded...

There's also a lot of posts to look at on this thread of folks running larger tires on Rams with little to no lift: https://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/tires-wheels-forum/94718-stock-w-big-meat.html Same forum has another long ongoing thread about lift, wheel, backspacing/offset, tire size...

I've got a 2005 Ram 3500 on 35" Cooper STT Pro mud-terrains. Well, they are 315's but essentially 35" tall. My 3500 has a 2" level spacer in the front from Hellbent Steel - but still have factory coils and leafs with the rear overload spring still in there. Soon I plan to swap that out with...

I had one on my older Cherokee (XJ) and I dealt with the aforementioned issues as its benefits outweighed those. My spare no longer fit in the stock location and since it was on the bumper now vs. in the rear storage area I gained storage space. In addition, my swingout carried my hi-lift and...

I'd like a larger case like that Sam's club model but they don't seem to be available anymore. I picked up a couple of the HF cases... the medium and large model. I set up the medium for a sat' phone: https://www.harborfreight.com/2800-Watertight-Protective-Case-13-34-In-63926.html Seems...

I didn't dig through all the pages but if you're on a budget I'd look at a Jeep Cherokee (XJ - chassis). Specifically get one 1991 (I think) or newer. These had a 4.0L HO engine and the earlier of these had a pretty simple throttle body injection system. The engines in these are considered to...

If you're building your own and looking for something of a pre-filter, etc. instead of a normal snorkel intake check out Donaldson: https://www.donaldson.com/en-us/engine/filters/products/air-intake/accessories/pre-cleaners/ I think some of their stuff can be found here and there on fleabay...

Scoutman, I just found your thread... and I'm very inspired! Thanks! I have a 2005 3500... same color, long bed, srw just like yours. You've done some awesome, very well planned out upgrades for overlanding and I've enjoyed reading every post! I've modified a contractors ladder rack and "kit...

You might be able to find a factory Auxiliary tank. A lot of the GM chassis had that option in some configuration or another. You might be able to find a donor at a junk yard. Other than that I'd consider the "briefcase" tanks some posted earlier - one manufacturer I know of is called DeeZee...

I've used both BFG mud terrains and all terrains on a few different vehicles and have always been very happy. They wear well... I seem to get a lot of miles out of them... and their performance never has let me down. I used mud terrains on a very modified Jeep XJ (Cherokee) and they were...

I use surplus NATO cans (not jerry cans)... they are getting a bit harder to find due to some of the new regulations, etc. but someone mentioned WEDCO earlier... those are very good cans also.

Ideally I'd prefer a mega cab with a long bed conversion. The extra interior space would be wonderful but I would want the standard long bed for all the compatibilities with accessories like slide in campers, camper shells, tonneau covers, racks, liners, tool boxes, etc. - the mega cab truck...

I have one of these in the truck... keep it topped off easily as it's rechargeable via usb type connector: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Might-D-Light-10-Watt-400-Lumen-Dark-Gray-Rechargeable-Folding-LED-Work-Light-LED140/205756057
