    I've been searching for a Ram 1500 build and this is the ultimate best Ram build I've seen. I love the inside access to the bed and truck bed utilized for additional shelving. Awesome build!

    Love this build! Everything is so functional, purposeful and tastefully done. Would love to have that as an adventure rig

      Thank you! Your hidden winch system fits right into that scheme.

    The full size is good. Definitely feel the larger size on those narrow Virginia trails. As a Colorado owner I liked seeing the Colorado; however, this is a decent build. I have never had a truck dedicated for camping. My vehicles usually have to pull double duty which can limit your build.

      This is my daily driver so it serves all my duties. I do need the trailer at times though.

    Great setup. That almost exactly how I wanted setup plus the Dickenson heater. Thank you for the video. Now I know somewhat of an idea how my next setup will be. Subscribed and like.

    I want to ask, have you changed the front and back gears? I have a 2023 Rebel 4x4, and I have an overland build on my truck. I get about 9 miles per gallon. It's because I couldn't regear the front and back ring and pinion. Currently, I have 3.92 gears, but I want to change them to 4.88. Do you know where to get those gears, or can you explain what I can do to improve my mileage?

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I didn't change them and it drove great. I got about 11-12 around town and 14 highway. 3.92 was perfect for keeping it in the right RPM range with 35s. 4.88 will make it rev higher and usually lowers your mileage.
      Have you corrected the tire size in you computer? I added the Tazer module so I could adjust for the correct tire size. And remember to measure your actual tire size and not just enter 35. If you haven't corrected it your speedometer and mileage will read low and give you false mileage calculations.

    Very nice truck. I’m surprise it can take all of that weight. Factory suspension?.
    First time seeing any of your videos 👍🏼

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks. As mentioned in the video the suspension is upgraded to Dobinsons IMS system with HD springs. After the video was made I actually upgraded the rear springs again to an 1,100 lb extra capacity lift spring from Ironman. The camper itself weighs less than 500 lbs. It's all aluminum. I never had it weighed when I owned it but my guess is somewhere in the 800-1,000lb range for total load with everything inside.

    Very nice setup. Looks well thought out, everything you need and nothing you don't. I'm new to your channel, I really like your heater setup with the thru-wall connection. Do you have a video of its install? Mike

      I've been planning a quick look at the heater but haven't done it yet. I guess I need to work on that. Stay tuned.

    Nice build! I have the ram 1500 Limited with the Alu-Cab Canopy Camper as well. It looked like you were still able to use your XM radio in this video around the 13:30 mark. Did you have to rewire the shark-fin antenna on the roof? My Alu-Cab seems to block the signal and I only get XM about 20% of the time. Also has been interfering with the factory GPS.

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  ปีที่แล้ว

      I used the old style magnetic XM antenna and ran it up to the corner of the windshield. It plugs right into the back of the stereo. The GPS is screwed. Half the time the compass says north when I'm going south.

    What a great build... unfortuantly for us that have the rambox this won't work. Would be interesting to know "on average" what the cost would be to implement what you have shown us. I have an idea and it includes winning the lottery. :)

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hard to say with me doing the labor and custom building a lot of it but you're easily around $50k not counting the truck to have a shop do it.
      I'm still waiting for that lottery to come through myself. Lol.

      Extrusion and painted plywood. I just wanted to keep it simple and not get into drawers and such.

    Were you able to fit a matching spare in the stock location under the bed?

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's under there but it has zero air pressure and took some pushing and kicking while cranking to get it there. A tire carrier is on the list of projects for this winter. I'm still working out the design on that.

    How does the dobinson compare to Bilstein 6112/5100s?

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Better in my opinion. We use Dobinsons on most of our Overland builds. They are built to handle the heavier weight that we add to them.

    The tire size is closer to a 34 than a 35, about a 33.9, i think they look very good compared to my 275/70/17

    • @Trailtec4x4
      @Trailtec4x4  ปีที่แล้ว

      Most 35" tires measure closer to 33.5"-33.75" but it varies from brand to brand. Back in the day before the tire charts were on the interwebs people just called them 35s and left it at that. These measure about the same as a "35" does in real life.

    • @Advntrwrx
      @Advntrwrx ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Trailtec4x4 i mean to me that seems like a 34,
      285/75/15 is a 33.83
      295/75/17 is a 34.42
      305/70/17 is a 33.81
      315/70/17 is a 34.36
      35/12.5/17 is a 35.03 in most cases
      If youre calling a ratio if a tire that is closer to a 34 a 35, you will look silly around real “35s”

    • @Advntrwrx
      @Advntrwrx ปีที่แล้ว

      So i went based on a 17 in the measurements, i do know yours is an 18 that will make it s 34.8, you have the right to say a 35, but this Tiregate Scandal gets people looking silly
