Lets see those power wagons

Went fishing on some small creeks in the back country, and did some camp site scouting.
Didn't think to take any photos till I came across this downed tree. Unfortunately I could have gotten some good ones in the rougher terrain and water crossing. Felt good to finally stretch the trucks legs a bit.
so i scored a deal on a jackery 1000 a while back. I called Jackery and asked if they had any factory cosmetic blems and they sold me one for $500 shipped. I can not find anything on it that would indicate a blem. It keeps the arb 50 going for 4 days without a charge. It charges pretty fast with either 120V and 12V. I might get a solar panel but It is rare i would be stationary for more than 4 days without driving several hours so not sure if I want to spend the money. I had to have my battery and alternator replaced last week (under 9000 miles and only 11 months) so a little apprehensive about using the truck battery. In my jeep I never had an issue so probably just a fluke but just the same I feel 100% better with this set up.

My son and I took a trip yesterday to Sedona for a trail and to have some lunch.

that truck is asking for a nice set of wheels.
Ehhh...If anything, I’ll powdercoat these stock ones silver . I don’t like the styling of most aftermarket wheels, and the stock ones tuck 35s with no rubbing. Most aftermarket have low offset which results in rubbing
Aev has perfect offset no rubbing and if you like silver they come in silver.

Son and I went into our "backyard" in the mountains to do some random exploring. Came across a narrow trail up the mountainside. Found a small cutout with a great view and decided to pull the kitchen out and make some mac and cheese. I love being able to easily have all my gear and food with me 24/7.

I’ve been trying to decide what food to keep in the truck. Added.

I usually just buy the dehydrated meals. Midway had a great sale on the 170 servings meals. I bought 3 of them. Always good to have some emergency rations in the house and the truck. You just have to make sure you have a water source and a way to heat the water. I keep water, propane, camping stove on my truck for food.
If you're looking for an easier (more expensive) option along the same lines you can get the military style MRE with their own heating element. You still need water for the heating element to work, but when in the military I frequently ate them at room temperature without heating them. MREs do not have a long shelf life compared to dehydrated foods.
Looks like they are still on sale! This is a great deal. I may buy some more now.

Got the AEV bumper on. Now I need to either sale the old one or chop it up and put it in the garbage lol.
Soon, I'll try to swing by an exhaust shop and have them re-route the exhaust up higher to get more clearance. Or I may just chop off the last 8" or so at an angle and call it good.

Looks great on red!
Hoping magnaflow decides to make an “overland” series high clearance exhaust for these trucks... when I emailed them they didn’t seem to there was much interest/many people were wheeling their Ram 2500s though

I was thinking of doing the same thing, it would be nice to tuck the exhaust closer to the hoop. Are you currently running aftermarket exhaust or oem? I really want to get rid of the resonator as well. Cant wait to see how yours turns out!
side note….so jealous of your garage, Mine barely fits in my driveway haha

Truck looks good.
Cut off the resonator and straight pipe it out to where you want it. Put the tip you want on it.
I did. Sounds good and no drone. I painted the pipe with black heat paint and put a black tip on it.
