    Front Bumper Winch Mount System

    I don’t think they are the same spacing. I don’t have access to a 2500 but I know the brush guard on my dad’s 3500 has different mounts and spacing than my 1500. Trim levels also play a role, my brush guard was ordered by someone with a fancy package and the brackets didn’t fit so I bought it at...

    How long have you run your tires on street with low PSI

    You can also ask the question another way, do you need to air down that low for the dirt?

    Have you converted to all Electric and no Gas

    I’m working towards all electric. I put a 3000 watt inverter in the truck. We have an electric skillet and old single electric cook top so I could if I wanted to. Getting away from propane with an alcohol stove for boiling water and recently got a gasoline hiking stove to potentially replace...

    Can I still make a decent rig with my truck bed toolbox installed?

    Kodiac might let you leave the tool box on but unless you either have a long bed or short legs, you probably won’t fit.

    4 tire inflation system

    Something to consider is an air regulator and a shut off switch for the pump. If the pump turns off at 100 psi, set the regulator to whatever pressure you want and wait for the noise to stop. I went the route of traditional cheap air compressor since my front, rear, trailer and bicycle tires...

    No water or electric is fine, is the camping area that gravel parking lot or are there trees and such? It might just be me lol

    Cheap utility trailer build

    You can literally flip a flat axle but most trailers have tensioned axles. To do it right, weld on new mounts to maintain original load bearing angles. It’ll also chew up tires on pavement if you don’t. Here’s some before, after and process pics to illustrate.

    How is the camping site? Plenty of room? The soonest we could get there would probably be 4 pm. I’d probably hop in and could help spot but Amanda and the dogs don’t like technical trail riding.

    Longshot270's build, travel and tinkering thread

    Trailer lift, interior insulating curtains, new pasta bowls for chili and potatoes, and phone charging shelf got the wife’s seal of approval. The mud/rock flaps also look like they’ll work.

    What do you guys do with your dogs?

    No, I relocated the leaf springs to be sitting on top of the axle instead of hanging under it. There should be pics in my project thread.

    How do you transport your fishing rod?

    Call up the nearest town, city or public water system. 6” is a very common size for water mains.

    How do you transport your fishing rod?

    Big surf rods: 4" pvc pipe with slip on end caps (one side is a slip in plug, other end threaded) that is the length of my truck bed. Light rods: adjustable Plano fishing rods tube Full time: 2 piece fly rod in a rod sleeve that is wired to the shirt loops in the top corner of my cab.
