    04 3rd gen Dodge Ram rock crawler expedition build

    that sucks....but now you'll have an excuse to make more modifications and get more things ready for your trip. Perhaps this will help you in extending your trip even farther or longer, might as well do as much as you can while you're on that side of the country!

    Adventure Build: 2001 Dodge Cummins QCSB

    Nice build! It's very similar to what I'm doing on my tow rig, a stout low lift rig. Hope to see more progress here soon. I'll try to get my build thread going here soon... I'm sorry about all the ******** hitting the fan with DOR, I was the one that gave him the heads up actually. I didn't think...

    2011 Chevy 3500 Dually build w/H1 24 bolt wheels

    I've never had a problem with them. At one point in time, I was buying them from gov auctions and reselling, never had a complaint from anyone about them loosening up. If you want to use loctite you can, but be sure to use the light duty Blue stuff and not the Red. The nuts themselves are...

    2011 Chevy 3500 Dually build w/H1 24 bolt wheels

    Very cool! I have access to more 24 bolt wheels if that helps. Also, I have some DRW adapters from a 2004 F450 w/ 19.5s that converts from 8 on 170mm to 8 on 220mm pattern. Pretty close to your size. Here's my rig on 24 bolts!

    Military MasterCraft Suspension Seats- OD Green

    I have NONE LEFT, ALL SOLD!!! MasterCraft Suspension seats that I picked up in a gov surplus auction. I am using 2 pair in my Jeep and Dodge Ram, so I have 2 pair left. Not trying to turn a profit, just get what I paid. These are in new condition, still in boxes and wrapped in plastic. The boxes...

    04 3rd gen Dodge Ram rock crawler expedition build

    yeah...I don't expect anything easy about the build, but looking forward to the long-term benefits. Focus right now is on suspension and the axle swap itself, then I will inject funding for lockers/Jana76 kit/chromos/etc. I hate having parts in the garage that I can't afford time/money to...

    04 3rd gen Dodge Ram rock crawler expedition build

    I'm still stock around 130"+, quad cab short bed. I've been debating on doing a rear bob before dovetail, but having to hold off until I figure out my fuel tank issue. Trying to balance a reasonable sized tank without going into the bed or killed departure angle is difficult, plus fuel cells are...

    04 3rd gen Dodge Ram rock crawler expedition build

    I'm doing something very similar on my 2nd gen Ram. Swapping in an F450 front D60, fully trussed, running 16" Prodigy coil-overs, traditional parallel 4 link w/ panhard, hydro assist for streetability, running leaf in the rear for now, but hope to get into a linked rear in the future. I'd really...

    H1 hummer 16.5 Double Beadlock wheels and Balancing Questions

    Here's a shot with no spacer to show you the difference. Cleared, but the hub stuck out too much and hit the control arms at full turn...so grabbed some used spacers for $100. These were my old 12 bolts with crappy Goodyear MTs for reference. The Bajas and MT/R are easily 10x better...

    H1 hummer 16.5 Double Beadlock wheels and Balancing Questions

    These came stock from a military surplus auction as you see them. The newest military H1 tires and wheels will have either the 2x2 style (paired) 24 bolt wheels or an evenly spaced version, the evenly spaced version is typically a D Load range tire and the paired is E Load. These are E load BFG...

    '97 Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4 Cummins Powered

    DJ is the owner and is a good friend. To be honest, the powder coating does make the welds look worse than they really are. Since I bash things up and paint them rattle can black later, I usually tell him not to worry about sending the pretty stuff. It's a 2 man business, him and a local welder...

    H1 hummer 16.5 Double Beadlock wheels and Balancing Questions

    I have built, run and sold a ton of the H1 16.5" military 2 piece wheels without issue, but I don't recenter them. In all honesty, it's easier, cheaper and safer to run a quality spacer than to recenter them. I run a 2" spacer on the front right now, but will be running DRW width soon and remove...

    '97 Dodge Ram 2500, 4x4 Cummins Powered

    Nice build! Not many of us 2nd gen Rams out there being built. Wanted to pass along some info on that steering brace though. I recently removed that style and installed a new one made by Dodge Offroad that only mounts on the driver side frame rail. The design you have works great on the road...
