    I can't make it this weekend. That motor swap I was talking about is finally happening! The replacement motor arrived yesterday after weeks of freight delays. See y'all around!

    I want to see the Rams

    AEV has a great bumper that isn't bulky like the Hammerheads. As a matter of fact it's one of the ones I'm considering. GL!

    2013 Ram 1500 Lift Question

    Things have been chaos but I wanted to share a photo of the truck now. It has a 6" lift with Method NVs. I am so happy with the lift and I'm very happy I went with a 6" vice 4". I did learn the hard way not to take chances on tires that aren't..... in the top names? I got 35" Kanati trail...

    2013 Ram 1500 Lift Question

    Ok crew I'm in a spot. I'm lifting the truck next month and I'm not sure what to do, either a 6" lift or a 4" lift. The plan is for 35s" as 37s" will be a tad more than I need.

    First time overland member. Help needed

    Greetings from VA

    Thanks, yeah anyone from up here knows the struggle of explaining where we live. Had to laugh because that meet up this Sunday is almost right next to my old school. That military academy you will pass in Woodstock is where I went to school in the early 2000s. I even have family out in Edinburg...

    98 Ram 1500

    This thread will be tracking the progress of my build. The platform is a 98 Ram 1500 Regular Cab. I have quite a few ideas and plenty of places I want to go.

    Greetings from VA

    So at the moment, I'm located in northern (occupied) VA. 98 Ram 1500, Regular cab with the 6'6'' bed I would say intermediate? For sure not a novice and not experienced. I've driven MRAPs in some crazy spots and my truck in less crazy. Will get more photos when we make our trip out to Maine here...
