this is just me. if i was going from 4th gen I'd go with either a TRX or a 2500 Power Wagon. Yolo it, especially with the extra $5k. or just keep the truck since there's nothing wrong with it. keep up with your maintenance and with your lifetime warranty you'll be good.

if you're getting hit by markups you're looking at the wrong dealer. i'm sure @AnthonyRI and team at Mark Dodge can get you a deal with discounts and no markups.

yes. and regarding the bilsteins... of course you can get better than those with tuned Kings. They ran a TRX with built 2500s on full Thuren catalogue before in the DTX group... stock TRX couldn't even keep up with the slowest HD in the fast group through the whoops. that's precisely why...

most will fit just fine, it's the wheel weight locations that can be problematic. here's the key thing to remember: stock positive offset you can mount the weight on the inside of the barrel, but once you move the wheel out either using spacers or negative offset you'll need to put the weight...

come out west!

Monday 12/29 - Clean Up Day On the way home from Vegas, my friends' trucks were slinging dried mud and I got mud attacked more than 5 times following different rigs. Yet, none of the mud fell off from my truck. I think that is because the suspension absorbed all the dips and surface...

As we pushed east toward Arizona, the landscape began to reveal itself. With the storm passing, the clouds hung low and that got me worried. After ~70 miles of high speed run and countless slick surfaces, mud and water pits, and slick clays, we arrived at the Mt. Trumbull Schoolhouse. Since I...

Day after Christmas, I set out for Gold Butte and Grand Canyon North. But shortly after starting the truck, the breaker tripped again. I have zero idea what was going on, so pulled over to reset it and hoped for the best. Then, I found out if I did the following things, the breaker wouldn't...

So... I monitored the situation the next day and confirmed my findings: Solar wasn't charging, despite the panels were fully exposed under the sun. The Renogy had to go - I wasn't about to deal with the warranty claim, and my goal was to get Redarc since day 1. The Renogy was my last resort...

I started my photo session at 10PM, and took 750 photos in the span of 4 hours. Then another session from 2AM-3AM And made a video of what happens when 750 photos are stitched together:

Now, this was the trip where I discovered a few gremlins. Let's start from the beginning: I saw some random posts about Geminid Meteor Shower was happening so I figured... why not? Since that was a last minute decision, none of my friends were able to make the trip so... I did it alone. The...

Rewind time. Thanksgiving. Had nothing planned, so decided to go to Johnson Valley again to show one of the new guys how to offroad in his new to him Montero. And put my Starlink to use. There are TWO starlinks in this picture: Friend let his girlfriend drive (I brought it up jokingly in the...

oh yeah can't beat blizzaks or dedicated snow tires for sure. i haven't got AT4Ws yet... my AT3Ws refuse to die or wear the tread (50k still have over 75% left) quattro and blizzak would be my choice for snow too.

with the -12mm offset you will need to put the wheelweight toward the face (outside) of the wheel. I've posted a detailed description of how to: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/35x12-5r18-on-performance-orientated-lift-a-overview-procedure-and-review.51259/

i fit a matching spare in the stock location - wheel and tire. then i also have a 6th matching spare off the truck as well.
