    Mountain.Mike's Ram 1500 Build Thread

    I really like mine. It has plenty of power and gets great milage for a full size. That said, my biggest gripe is that no one makes a selectable locker for my year. I am looking at putting a Detroit Tru-trac to improve traction a little. The 1500's have huge wheel wells and will clear a 35"...

    Ram 1500 leveling kits

    Did you do change your sway bar end links? I have noticed a few guys running extended links, but most don't seem to bother. Just curious what your experience was. They don't seem to be necessary, but I was wondering if they substantially affected ride or handling.

    I am not sure about every detail, but I know the lift, bumper, and snorkel will all be available individually. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    Ram 1500 leveling kits

    Sub'd. I have a 14 Ram 1500 and am about to level it with the 5100's set to 2.1. The research I've done on Ramforumz indicates that I should be able to clear 275/65R20s (34") on the factory wheel. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Ram 1500 Overland Build

    How is that Superflow air compressor holding up for you? A friend seems to have permanently "borrowed" the compressor I normally kept in my truck so I am looking for a replacement that isn't too nice to beat on and won't break the bank.

    Mountain.Mike's Ram 1500 Build Thread

    Thanks man! I'm really enjoying it so far. AEV does make some awesome stuff. I was excited to see they are going to start making products for the 1500s. I know they have previously focused on Jeeps and Ram 2500s. I saw the press release on the new Recruit concept. Looks good. If I can...

    Ram 1500 Overland Build

    Nice set up! You have give me a lot of great ideas. Where did you mount your deep cycle battery you are charging off that solar panel? I assume that means you are running a dual battery set up. Keep up the good work!

    Overland Trip Planning: Know Before You Go

    These forms are a great idea. You should consider trying to partner with company Field Notes or Rite-in-the-Rain to produce a nicely bound version people could buy. It would make an awesome gift for some fellow overlanders. Just a thought, but you should do it!

    The roaming ram

    I know. I still haven't settled on a spot. I've thought about the tailgate or on the fender under the factory badging.

    The roaming ram

    Sounds good, man. I'm pretty jealous. You've got me a little bit worried about road noise though.

    They look great! What size are those?

    The roaming ram

    Awesome! That is exactly the tire I've been looking at. Can wait to see what you think after mounting them up. I expect a lot of photos!

    FLASHLIGHTS

    Hello. My name is Mike and I am a flashlightaholic. I've got a few streamlights, nitecores, a fenix, and old maglites stuffed into every conceivable bag and container I interact with. I just picked up a new truck that I am outfitting. I am trying to decide on a rechargable that I can mount...

    Mountain.Mike's Ram 1500 Build Thread

    Swapped my dash speakers to a set of Kicker KS series speakers. It's a really common upgrade for these trucks. If you are going to do it, be sure to use a speaker with a silk tweeter. A cheaper material would be way to harsh coming off the windshield. You can see the difference between the...

    Ram 1500 Overland Build

    How is that mounting location working out? It makes for a slick install. Are the shadows from the bed sides a problem?

    Mountain.Mike's Ram 1500 Build Thread

    Sweet Rebel! I really like those trucks. Had no idea the Eco-Diesel was so unreliable. I've really enjoyed my RAM so far. Your right, they aren't the most supported truck by the aftermarket. But I think there is enough out there to build a passable weekend over landing rig. Sent from my...
