I like the idea of a bullet proof manual trans in a HD truck. Unfortunately for me, I dont believe Ram offers the manual trans with anything other than a CTD. I had two vw tdi that I was forced to sell back to VW due to the emissions debacle a few years ago. I swore that I would never buy...

Kingsize.. I sure am liking what you're doing here. I currently have a 2016 Ram 2500 Tradesman power wagon that has been at the dealer for the last month with trans issues. Trans started to develop a whine/whistle at lower RPMs while in gear. Dealer replaced the front pump for the trans and...

My choice... David Ellis Torrent tent. I own one and it is bomb proof. Enough room for a family, cots or whatnot and is easily set up in about 15 minutes. Holds up to anything mother nature can throw at it. Snow, Ice, Driving rain...

Yep. Thank you. I like the higher version and plan on copying it. I like the idea of being able to still use the original cover. Only thing I am concerned with is having everything 7 foot high. Rtt, awning etc. Might not be the best set up for tight trails. Was actually thinking about...

Bump... nothing?

Haven't posted in quite some time. I am looking to see if anyone knows who built this trailer? I see photos of it on several sites but have never ran into a build thread or any other info. I would really like to get info on the roof rack that this gentleman built as I have the same M101A...

That is a small world.... Hey Tim, do you have the specifics (parts number or link) for the energy suspension kit? I would rather stay cheap so I will probably go the Autozone route like you did but wouldn't mind checking out other options.. As far as the Lunette is concerned. I think I...

Awesome fab skills.... learned a lot just looking at your photos!! Jeff

Thinking I may extend my lunette ring like this guy did. I am sure it will make the trailer a bit easier to back up and a bit harder to jack knife into the truck bumper. I will probably skip the Flame paint job.... I think it is a good idea... Pretty slick.. His build is here...

Hey Tim... Did I miss it somewhere in the thread? Where did you source your shackle extensions? Looking good. Keep adding photos as you make progress.. Thanks

As soon as the weather gets nicer her in MI I will start building my M416. I like what you have done with yours! The previous owner torch cut a tailgate out of the rear of my tub so I need a tailgate. Debating on whether or not to take it to a fab shop or do it myself. I am a novice...

Good stuff... Thanks everyone for the replies. Keep the opinions coming. I would like to hear more about Dodge?? Is it me or do the frames on the 2500 Silverados hang annoying low below the body line of the rockers? Maybe it is on all 3/4 tons but I just noticed it on the Chevy today...

Thanks for all the replies... I like the idea of a 4x4 van (I have driven by the one in the link posted. It is only about 10 miles from me) but am not ready to buy just yet. I don't think the 4x4 vans are very common so if I miss out on the local one, I may miss out completely on having the...

Thanks BRP. I was actually considering the Expedition or even a Suburban gasser. But, I am also looking closely at the Dodge Ram 2500 with 5.9 Cummins. I still like the idea of having a pickup truck for some reason. I also like the Cummins diesel over the ford. Not in a rush to make a...

Ok Guys... I am looking for suggestions for a vehicle big enough to haul 4 people, medium sized dog, and all our gear comfortably. I would like to stick with something manufactured by one big three here in the U.S. My wife and I both love camping and the outdoors but are trying to expand...

Very nice!!

Perfect response!! Just what I was looking for to help me make a decision. Thanks!

Very good to know.. Seems like they are holding up well then. I guess just because they are E rated doesn't mean you have to drive around all day with 80psi in the tires. I am going to give the maxx's a good hard look. Wondering how they would compare to the ******** Cepek FCII. I used to run...

Yeah... You are probably right. I have a full size chevy silverado and only pull a heavy load 2 or 3 times a year. I am wondering if the E rating on these tires will make my regular cab, short box pickup ride like a cement truck. I would prefer a D or even C rating to be honest. Time to...

The maxx's are not getting very good reviews at http://www.treaddepot.com/group/dstmx.html Sucks because I was really giving these a look for my next set..
