Thanks its a constantly evolving project

I was originally looking for a UHF/VHF/HF/CB unit. The more I study and read through the forums I am thinking its going to be at least a standalone CB and separate UHF/VHF/HF unit. So I guess now I am looking for recommendations for a good HAM unit and what others experience is with the units...

Hoping for some good insight from fellow members on vehicle comms. I plan to obtain my HAM certification in the very near future and have started the search for the equipment for my rig. I would like to stay with an "all in one" type set-up to hard mount in my truck. Remote head unit style...

Sharing a trip I made early this year when returning home from North Dakota and didn't want to travel all the normal roads. Was able to take in a good bit of Americana, a few nearly abandoned towns with a good deal of history and some beautiful off the beaten path scenery. This route is easily...

I plan on getting you out to many more places than just Moab. We have so many trails we can explore in Colorado that you are more than capable of traveling on. Once your done with your suspension we can start putting together all of your other gear so you can easily do a day trip or a multiple...

Daily driver. work rig, adventure rig....she does it all!

37x13.50 17 I air down as low as 18psi depending on trail conditions. If heavily loaded I run 20-25psi

Thanks to all of you for the info. Greatly appreciated!! Now time to get balanced!

Thanks TerryD much appreciated! Sent from my SM-G935V using OB Talk mobile app

Tha nks again for your reply TerryD, I have heard of using the airsoft pellets. Is there a general rule of thumb for the amount you add based on tire size or what has given you the best results?

Thanks for your response TerryD, So the particular type of traction bar I am talking about actually doubles as a slider for the driveshaft. They are on a shackle at the front end to allow forward and aft movement as the axle cycles. It is a single traction bar located towards the center of the...

My truck is a RAM 2500 and there is about 2 ft of driveshaft exposed below the fuel tank skid at the differential, the front of the driveshaft is tucked neatly above the frame rails and t-case and fuel tank skids. I cannot skid plate it in due to the amount of suspension travel and axle droop...

Does anyone here use tire balancing media such as beads? If so what are your opinions and recommendations on type of media used and any recommended brands or sources? I run a 37" tire and as they wear they become more difficult to keep balanced as most larger tire do. I am looking for input from...

On a fullsize truck I am a huge fan of the Red Label General Grabbers. I ran them on 2 of my diesels and they were a great tire overall. Above average mud performance for the tread design and they would clean out fairly easily. Great performance in dirt, wet dirt, sand and gravel. Winter...

My rig tends to see some pretty rough trails and with my long wheelbase I am susceptible to damage because of my length. I am installing full length sliders to protect the rockers however on a recent trip I managed to choose my "line" a little incorrectly and polished a spot on my driveshaft...

so With the factory gears (4.10) and 35's I was around 2100 RPM at 80mph. With the 4.88's and 37's I run about 2270 RPM @ 80MPH. I only had the stock tires on for a day so I couldn't tell you what my RPM's were like with them. Also with the shifting I recalibrated the speed sensors with each...

Just keep in mind the axles changed in 2014. The 2013 and older still had the 10.5 and were leaf spring trucks. The 2014 and newer are the 11.5 and all of the hardware on the axle housing is set up for the 5 link coil. Same with the front as they switched to the radius arms. I am thinking (and I...

For me it really depends on the trail. If it is a popular and well used trail I will try to do my part in helping maintain the trail and remove a branch if it is a safety hazard. If I can get through without cutting or removing any branches then that is the route I go. If it is a much less...

When are you going to get back on here and start planning your rig and gear my son?
