I personally have a short bed but my long cab makes up the difference. It really comes down to what your plans for the vehicle are. I do get off-road often and tackle trails more technical than I probably should in such a large rig. I stepped up to 37" tires fro the added ground clearance to...
Mine is Roxy....I knew a girl in high school who I couldn't stand but she was full of piss and vinegar and nothing could hold her back and no matter how much she pissed you off you had no choice but to admire and respect the fact that she always got through to the end. Hence my rig is named...
Awesome post and thanks. These are many of the points I have tried to pass on to others as they venture into off-roading. I am new to the overlanding lifestyle but find many of the same theories stand true if your DD rig is also your off-road rig.
OK so here is my $0.02...I have many "premium" name brand items from tools to gear to parts, however I have just as many "no name" items. I spent 17 years in the automotive industry so yes I have $1000's invested in name brand (Snap-On, Matco, MAC tools). My favorite ratchet is now 20 years old...
1st major failure. While climbing over a large boulder the sector shaft in my steering box failed and seperated leaving me with no steering whatsoever. At that time I was working for a dealership with a tow truck and I had keys to the building and the tow truck. After catching a ride back to...
I do all of my own since I was 16. Couldn't afford for a shop to do it when I was younger and as I learned and eventually went into the mechanic trade I found I didn't trust anyone else to touch my vehicles or bikes. Whether bolt on or full fab I love doing my own work. Not to mention the pride...
New member here and slowly moving along on my overland build. This is my 2016 RAM Power Wagon, she is slowly becoming the long haul trail and travel rig I dream of.
This is the ongoing build of my 2016 Laramie Power Wagon. I recently have gained a huge love of the overland lifestyle and it has definitely given me a new direction in which I will build my truck so the wife and I can enjoy more time away from the daily grind. In this picture the truck was...
Never wanted decals on my rig till I met you and your awesome family. I admit I did copy your layout with the Moab stickers but it looks great and starts lots of conversation everywhere I go!
Like Bold Adventure stated our trucks weigh in heavy even though we aren't diesel (Power Wagons). I run the 37x13.50 17 Toyo Open Country MT load range "E" on my rig. I don't run the higher pressures that many do on the pavement and will typically keep my fronts at 40-45psi and the rears at...
Nice Jeep! I am a new member so I am a bit late to this thread but I am hoping maybe I can offer something useful anyway. I also made the jump to a much larger tire size on my rig last fall. Granted mine is not a jeep but I faced the same questions as you. My rig came factory with 4.10 gearing...
Ok so you peaked my interest with your post in the other group and now here I am, member #6206!!! Hopefully we can do some more trips other than Moab, I look forward to meeting the rest of your family!!
