3rd gens are also 4.56, The front is an AAM 9.25 and the rear is a hybrid AAM 10.5 with the larger axle shafts from the AAM 11.5. In 2014 that changed to full AAM 11.5 You might see guys throw around 5th gen too, and the usually is 2014+ but to me it's the same body, so still a 4th. I prefer...

Yup, that's what I was running above. I'm over there too. Just don't post as often anymore.

Truck, I've had both, moved on because there is greater versatility in the truck. A small size SUV might be more nimble, but unless you score and Excursion or 2500 Suburban (both of which are no longer made), you'll find trucks with more mod options, more payload, and greater towing capacity...

3rd Gens are great if you want to mod and fix lots of stuff. But that is not a good era for Dodge. Body, rust, paint quality, interior quality, issues galore. Think 90's General Motors econoboxes. Just ask about how many people's grab handles fell off or dashes have cracked. The 4th gens...

New tires Toyo Open country M/T 37x12.50R17 - moved up from 35's previous. Still stock wheels and suspension.

So, the interesting point here. I never noticed this till I moved out west. Back east, you're almost always in a developed campsite. And as we've done more dispersed camping, I've noticed more places I could camp, but maybe all I could do was fit my truck. I found a great spot a couple weeks...

Same applies for GMRS too really. A nice little handheld like a Baofeng uv-5r can be handy. The great thing with them, is not only can you listen in on HAM, but you can also use FRS/GMRS channels. I actually have four for the events I host to pass out, pre-programmed for FSR/GMRS stations. But...

GMRS/FRS & 2m/70cm - Honestly, CB is garbage. Got rid of that awhile ago. I've grown fond of GMRS/FRS for groups because of overlap. There are a few channels there that overlap meaning you can have guys with a license talking to folks who show up with a cheap hand held.

Why are the interfaces for the two apps nearly identical?

You're right. I have a family two, and just committed to buying a 23Zero Byron RTT. We've been on the ground for some time. It's not a straight apples to apple comparison though as you noted. Most RTT's have an aluminum fold over the base plate, mounting rails, aluminum poles that pivot and...

From camp mobile to crawler

It looks crazier than it sounds. I'd love to see one in person. I thought about the RV-5 for awhile from OzTent but I didn't like the pack down size.

None. They might carry the load better and not squat, but they don't magically make axle loads go up. Weight ratings are based on a combination of factors. Have to explain this all the time to truck guys. Airbags fix a visual problem, but if you're over axle weight rating, you still have a problem.

Is it a fad that they've become so popular? Maybe. It would seem a lot of folks buy them as "essential" gear without thinking about their needs or why they're buying on. I'm over ground tents. I move a lot in the rig, and after a lot of evaluation, the RTT meets my needs a lot more than a ground...

Overland, maybe not. But I can see something like this in a place like Moab, where you go out on a trail and return back to town in the same day. Crawling slowly won't use a ton of power. With proper programming to control each wheel independently and instant torque of an electric motor that is...

I do like GMRS as a trail radio, because there is no test. I know it's "easy" but it can actually be a barrier to some people. There is a lot of garbage questions in the Ham test that are out dated I feel. I get people might build their own radios. But really, do I need a proficient...

People with expo rigs complaining about $70.00 :angry: Are you all poor people or something? It's $70 bucks. Jeez. And the rules are changing, it will cover 10yrs starting in 2018.

The going theory is that FCA derated the PW because of the soft suspension and lift. The lockers might be another aspect of that derating. The frame, axles, everything is the same as the standard 2500. If you want to know what a good gear swap and locker install will cost, you can see this...

Ditto that sentiment of quick disconnects. Swaybars serve a purpose. Sometimes off-road they're annoying and limiting. I've had sway bars that are also too stiff even on road. My current rig has an electronic disconnecting front sway bar. Quick Disconnects kind of just let me decide when and...
