Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Just wanted to thank those of you who have given me some very helpful advice in the past months concerning building a Dodge/Cummins for Africa. I thought I'd bring you up to date.
My truck is delivered. The dealer installed mopar flares and sold me an extra spare wheel.
Local 4x4 shop will start the following this week:
--install Skyjacker 4. 5" stage II lift (no flex)
--36 x 12. 5 x 16 Super Swamper TSL radials. (Load range is marginal, but I want the aggressive tread. )
--spray on bedliner
--spare tire mounts and hi-lift mount in bed
--A pillar boost and egt gauges
We're still discussing winch options. I like the idea of a front receiver mount, but Warn doesn't make a receiver mount for larger than a 9,500 lb winch, which seems a bit low. I'd like a 12,000, but shop hasn't confirmed that there's a mount for the Sport bumper.
On traction devices, I have the OEM LSD rear and am looking into an ARB for the front.
Looking into a combination spare tire, winch, and hii-lift mount for the bed. It sounds trick, but might be too expensive.
I want to mildly bomb the engine (probably EZ and injectors), but that will have to wait until after I put some miles on it.
As usual, I welcome thoughts and suggestions.
