    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    Thanks. No regrets on the G56. The manual transmission coupled with the selectable exhaust brake make controlling speed on long descents, even when towing nice and easy. 1rst gear on the manual is half the ratio of 1rst on an Auto trans, so it crawls nice and slow and steady when you ask it to.

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    Here are some updated photos from out on the road. This one was above the arctic circle on our way north to Prudhoe Bay. Same spot but without the rainbow. Headed south toward Wrangle St. Elias Park Parked at a campground in Nova Scotia. Touring through southern Newfoundland...

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    It's been a while since I've provided an update on the truck and camper. It is still working well and being used as planned. The odometer is up to 66,000 miles now so I'd say it is broken in. I've only made one significant addition and that was a BD Diesel Performance 2 Lo Unlock Differential...

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    The truck was sourced with set of Glowsteps that only had 4 treads. They didn't reach the ground. I ordered two separate treads and added them to the existing stair. Works fine to reach the door which sits at 4' off the ground. The adjustable feet at the bottom are handy too. They stow in...

    Keep the Power Wagon or get a diesel flatbed???

    We rigged a 2500 with CTD and 6 speed with a flatbed Hawk and other stuff to get Power Wagon capability but with more towing and cargo capacity. It's not a daily driver and I haven't taken the FWC off yet, but it's nice to know I could if I needed the truck to do something without it. We've...

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    Thanks, I put a depth guage on them this morning. All are just a little over 5/16" tread depth at the center with a little more wear toward the shoulders. Online specs say the tread depth was 15/32" when new, but I didn't measure it.

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    Over 30,000 miles now. No problems with the tires. I've rotated them at 10,000 mile intervals, with the spare in the rotation.

    ImpromptU-Ah! Back to Utah We Go!

    Sorry. Working in wet conditions in Houston and my phone is acting up. I've been following your trips. My phone opened your thread and with auto fill just made a post. I think it signed me up for a Russian wife, joined 3 questionable Facebook groups, and bought me a new car while it was in...

    Always launch in first unless it's down hill or I'm rolling forward slightly. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    1rst gear on the manual is about half that of the auto. Gearing isn't a problem at all. 6000 miles in on the current trip and getting 14.5 mpg with the trailer in tow. No issues with emissions system. Just had fuel filters changed today at 22,000 miles as requested by the EVIC system. Max...

    Flatbed FWC on an AT modified RAM

    Unfortunately the pics were all on Photobucket. We're up in Alaska now. I'll deal with getting them rehosted and linked when we get back in Oct. I'm posting in the In Progress Adventures section in the ROF's Canada and Alaska 2017 thread if you want to see scattered photos of the truck. Sent...

    Nice trip. I'm sure you are happy to be back to the heat and humidity. Cadillac Ranch was looking a little like mudhole. Great pics from along the way. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    OzTent Owners, Carry Bag Question

    I've been wrapping my bag in a tarp and lashing to the outside of the trailer. It protects the tent and the bag from the sun and rain but it makes taking the tent out and putting it away much more complicated .Looked at the Yakima and Thule boxes but they just weren't big enough and it was going...

    We've been following along on your adventure. Looks like a great trip. We will follow some of your route leaving the Houston area in a few days working our way up to try and catch the ROF's expedition, (posted in the In Progress Adventures section) up in AK before the end of the month. Keep...

    Looking for custom built aluminum box

    You could try NutHouse Industries out of Ohio. They were at Expo East and West last year. I'm talking to them about building a big custom box at the moment. https://nuthouseindustries.com/

    Multiple Camera Switch box

    I've got the same system in my Ram 2500 running 3 auxiliary cameras and the stock back up camera. The system works great for me. I tow a small trailer so being able to display the high rear camera looking down on the trailer full time while driving is important to me.
