Slowly getting there. Replaced the soft tonneau cover with a Retrax cover with the t-slots. Just got the Voodoo Fabrications overland rack installed last night. Been waiting for the extrusions for a week. If it hadn‘t been pouring all day I would have installed the RTT.
With you camp setup you are higher center of gravity for sure. I run with around 2000lbs of tools in the bed. Working off washboard fire roads the softer Carli Suspension made it way better. I boiled the fluid in the Bilstiens 5100’s running the Same roads. And Towing my 16’ dump trailer I...
I just know on the bigger solid axle trucks front sway bars are very limiting. I’ve never owned an IFS truck so I don’t know how they ride /drive off-road but I loved my 2500 on 37’s with no sway bar on the front. very little body roll on off ramps even. Towed heavy with it as well. So torsion...
Look into the torsion type sway bars for smoothing out those sections. Thuren and Carli may have something that you could retrofit. You are running a super duty front axle? I have found the limits of a stock style sway bar and snapped the end links. Scares the crap out of you. I have ended up...
Denny,
hey from Goose Creek. I’m a little big for Jeep trails. I’m mostly setup for lake camping with the wakeboard boat. See me around charles usually with a big Dump trailer in tow
Looking good. I run 5000lb bags in my truck with the cradles too. Supposed to keep 5lbs in them so they work as the bump stops. Never had a problem yet. I actually had them off camber today with 60lbs in them backing a loaded dump trailer down into a jobsite. Stayed in the cradles perfectly
Interested to see your build. Im getting things together for mine now too. Doing research. have a broken right hand from a kid hitting me snowboarding last month. So no work or working on the build to much
Thanks,
I ordered the Renegade Cover already. It’s the same as the Diamondback cover except it folds in thirds like a traditional soft cover. Working out of the truck I didn’t like the way diamondback covers only opened from the front or rear and left that center section In. The renegade cover...
So I’m just starting to research and build my truck for camping and minor overlanding. Truck is a 2016 Ram 2500 Cummins crew cab long bed. Usually the bed is full of tools as I’m a contractor. I tow a 16’ dump trailer a few days a week. On the weekends it pulls a Nautique 226TE wakeboard boat...
this is my Italian Greyhound Zulu… she has been to more states than most people. Two road-trips across the country under her belt. Loves to ride I’m the big truck
Good morning, I’m Ryan. From the Charleston SC area. New to Overlanding type of camping and travel. Not new to camping, but looking to explore and see other types of things. My rig definitely need to be multi purpose. I’m a building contractor specializing in outdoor spaces, mostly composite...
