Yeah, i am still a novice but always willing to learn. That is sort of the reason why i also don't want to get lockers. Sometimes relying on lockers vs a proper line wont help the driver learn.

2016 Laramie that was optioned out, the curb weight as listed was 8010 based on my vin which makes sense considering the payload for the truck is about 1990. to hit the total GVW of 10k. I also have big heavy tires and wheels and a lift kit which adds to the weight of the truck as well. Last...

Since you are going w/ the thurens are you going to add some overload air bags with like a daystar cradle in the back to prevent that Corlina squat?

Yeah you are only about 150 lbs away from being max gross of 8510 if the ram site is correct. Even though we have full size trucks it seems to be really easy to get to max capacity. Are you concerned with the extra weight of the rear bumper / tire carrier / rtt / bed rack? Even losing some...

So i am currently planning my build and am curious for those with RTT's and other items how you guys are getting away with not going over GVWR So i did some basic calculations as well as what i would be planning and it doesnt look good. This is one of the reasons i am not going RTT. I am...

Do you have a backup camera on yours? Worried about losing it? Also before these upcoming mods, have you ever weighed your truck fully loaded? Thanks

I just now realized that a stock power wagon has 4.10's stock. Cant compare to the crappy 3.43 Gears that i have. So I was doing some weight capacity numbers and the GVWR of a Power wagon is 8510. Have you ever weighed the truck with all your gear? Just curious to see if you are worried about...

Since we mainly travel alone we need to put importance on self recover and since the vehicle is rather new armor is a necessity. One of the main issues believe it or not is the lack of usable storage and factory tiedown points in the bed. There are only 4 tie down points at the bottom corner...

This is more to log the trials and mistakes i make in my journey to take the road less traveled with my family We are a family of 4 with 2 boys under 4 years of age and a 50 lb Pit. Right now we are just getting them accustomed to long road trips and overnight camping. Nothing more than that...

To the op that setup the concord meet, might want to put it up on the events page. Good luck sir!

would love to meet up in september work permitting. I don't think i've taken a day off of work in almost 6 years. I have never been to moab before but cant stop watching all the vids that are out there. Open diff and Oem Rear LSD for me

Did he do the bumper as well or just the swingarms?

just saw you are running 4.88 on 37's how is the rpm's at highway speeds?

@SAC-CA-Runner were you running a snatch strap or tow strap from ARB? Also for kinetic ropes, i see a few places recommending a 1 inch rope for 3/4 ton

Hey BoldAdventure, love your rig and instagram, it has inspired me to take more trips outdoors with the family. Power wagons in moab is only for power wagons? A diesel couldn't join?

No worries, i was searching for a while for a good air compressor that would do 37's for quite some time. Ended up going with this option as some of the brand name ones are 5x the price and output about the same if not less cfm. Also with our trucks you might not be able to reach all 4 wheels...

Another compressor option for you is Tuff Stuff Xtreme 150psi compressor. Its rated at 5.65 cfm. The MV90 is 6400 CIM which equated to 3.7 CFM. The cheaper MV-50 is only 2.0 CFM. and with big tires cfm really matters. With lower CFM you have to start worrying about duty cycle as well. The tuff...

has anyone ordered from funtreks.com? price seems better than amazon. Just want to make sure i am getting a physical book and not an e-book

Thanks for the love. Having a full size truck makes me rethink wanting a RTT. i keep going back and forth on it and i already hit tree limbs on top as is. Having a RTT might just be asking for trouble

Im in tracy but down for any meetup or trail ride or camping trip. Just please dear god make the trails at least somewhat wide enough that i can make sharp turns without doing a 15 pt k turn.
