    Upgrading the main battery for fridge use; Odyssey VS generic AGM Deep cycle dual purpose marine battery

    Following for answers. I’m looking into doing the same thing, but my truck (Ram 2500 Cummins) came with dual batteries from the factory. I’m wondering if I even need to swap them out for deep cycles.

    37s on pickups

    Do you know the brand? Might save me some time googling. The other concern is how far the tire sticks out behind the truck cause issues swinging out the tire to drop the tailgate if the trailer is hooked up. It could also be a problem making tight turns and the front of the trailer hits the...

    37s on pickups

    The tailgate carrier is interesting if I can still use my trailer hitch to pull trailers while carrying the spare. When I’m off fishing tournaments I like to camp at state parks. Most of the time they are right on the lake with a boat ramp and electric near buy to charge the boat. Because of...

    37s on pickups

    First, I’m used to having the details of my truck in my profile or signature on other forums so I’m sorry if I forget to list out everything on every post. Second , I did say approximately 34 (~=approximate) so I’m not going to argue with you over a 1/2 inch, I’m not your wife. Third, the reason...

    Powering a fridge in a diesel truck

    I’m looking at a 53 quart Alpicool. It’s either that or a bigger yeti cooler to live in my truck. Buying ice every other day is getting old. That fridge is comparable in price to a yeti but if I need to get solar panels, mounts and a solar charger, the cost would obviously go way up as would the...

    8 Lug wheels and tires

    My vote on tire would be the Toyo RTs. I’ve got about 15k miles on them and they are very quiet on the highway. for an aggressive tire. The thread looks like I should get another 20-25k before I need to think about changing them. Also, those tires in 35-12.5 if in the factory spare tire location...

    8 Lug wheels and tires

    I would strongly consider 18 inch wheel if payload capacity matters to you. You don’t have many options for and E rated tire 37 or bigger on 17s. If you don’t plan on going bigger than 35s, 17s are fine. Look at some of Method wheels. You will want something in the 0 to +18 offset range. That...

    Full size overlanding pros vs cons.

    I’m in the heavy duty camp. I use my truck for work and play. I tow two different trailers and, depending on the day, up to a 250 mile round trip. I just couldn’t live with 8-10 mpg driving 25k miles a year. The 6.7 Cummins on 35-12.5 Toyos is averaging 15 mpg, and usually north of 17 with no...

    Powering a fridge in a diesel truck

    I’m wanting to run a fridge in my truck all the time. It’s a 2018 ram 2500 6.7 Cummins. The truck comes from the factory with two batteries and a 220 amp alternator. With that in mind, would solar panels be necessary to insure the truck starts every morning? About how long would the truck have...

    37s on pickups

    4.10s are definitely low enough for a heavy duty diesel with a 3 grand red line. Jeeps and Toyota’s probably would need lower gears because they have small motors, small trans, and small axles. Also the gas engines won’t mind the higher engine speeds. The truck came with ~34s and 3.42 gears...

    37s on pickups

    I’m wanting to make the jump to 37s after I regear to 4.10. How do those running 37s carry a spare? The Baja style chase rack with two tires in the bed isn’t really practical for my needs.

    How do you carry your recovery boards?

    I have a decked drawer system in the bed of my truck. I has the core Trax tie down system. I took two 6 inch carriage bolts and grinder the head to fit in the core Trax slots, then tighten a nut to secure the bolts. I sack the max Trax and line up the holes with the bolts. Then I use wing nuts...

    My 2016 Subaru Forester is bone stock and am currently getting 29 mpg. What sort of gas mileage hit did you take doing the lift, wheels and tires?

    Dive mask recommendations

    I grew up working in my dads dive shop. When it comes to masks, the fit is everything. Go to a dive shop closest to you and try them on. With out using the strap, you should be able to lay the mask on your face, inhale through the nose, and form a perfect seal. Facial hair complicates things
