Removing the mud that washed in after the tarps failed over the winter and backfilling, compacting and laying in geo-grid soil reinforcement.

So, Nate, In all honesty, I cannot resume my own build until the op-tempo slows down here.  The truck will have to wait patiently.  The family will not. 

We have a two-week hockey break which will be nice.  The boy plays just north of Cincinnati, a 38-mile trip one way for us, straight through all of the Cinci traffic.

Fortunately, the Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel has averaged 29.1 mpg over the 3100 miles it has been driven to date.

That's not an option.  Read your own sig line: NSDQ

You need to begin spooling up to Engine Start Day (ESD). 

My last day of guaranteed availability to hold the obligatory block of wood to guard against a runaway is 12 JUL.  What is your targeted ESD?

Wow Duane! That is probably the most epic DOT'ing I've ever seen.
Well done!

ESD in my world is electrostatic discharge.

But anyhoot, Big D here is your emergency shutdown guy if he's needed.

Haven't been able to get any physical work done on the truck for a few days, but the project is moving forward.

I ordered and posted over in the Tool section, some Bosch L-Box stackable storage containers which will be fitted out with spare parts, tools, med kit, survival stuff and cinnamon disks!

Also started talking with Dan the man, the ultra good welder guy who built that cool alchy tank for me. I am going to get him to weld up the aluminum aux fuel tank for square D because he is very good at that and I can't even spell aluminiminum!

Additionally, I kicked the red dog away from chewing on the aft air bag lines and removed a cat from the snorkel. So things are looking up!

Copy that.

And getting rid of work is what I have been doing. Spent from around 1000 until about 1730 spreading mulch, pruning trees, pulling weeds, and cutting grass. All that to get that monkey off my back so I can get back to the Square D project. Should happen tomorrow...Friday will be a farm day probably

Used to put a bowl of them on my desk and a pouch of them on the "Dash" of the Chinook
People would wander in my office, get one, chat for awhile, then leave. Same when flying. Customers would wander up into the cockpit, grab a couple, look out the windshield, then realize we were WAY too close to the Chinook or C130 next to us in flight and leave.

I can't see surviving without them!

How much were the rotors overlapping?  Shouldn't have been a problem as flying is much better than walking.  Just don't let the discs get in the defroster like the M&M's in Tommy Boy.

After waaaaayyyy too many hours than I care to admit to  :o I have reached the end of the BigD threads and am "caught up". Don't tell my wife okay?  ;)

I am literally astonished with the care and thought you have put into this. Thanks so much for sharing it!! WOW!

But of course, being an internet troll (well not a troll but someone watchin' and thinking about someone else's build instead of doing anything myself to further the knowledge base  :-[) I wanted to suggest a couple of things (and you have probably already thought about them but figured I would ask-

I like the way Chebbie and GMC have the side corner steps in the rear bumper corners to make access to the bed easier. I am wondering if you thought about cutting something like that into it? I believe you have the space in the face of the bumper no? I know you are putting a ladder on too but just thinking it might be an easy way to grab something from the bed. Of course, if you're doing the full on open door instead of the tailgate maybe only having a "step" on the "open" side of said door would make sense.

I also wonder about putting a "foot" (saying "foot" cause "hi-lift catchy point" sounded weird) on the bottom of the bumpers (front and back) so if you use the hi-lift as a jack it is not sitting on flat metal. Instead the "teeth" of the hi-lift lifting point would sort of "fit" a similarly serrated sort of foot on the bottom of the bumper for safety. Ask me how I know about safety when a very heavy truck is precariously balanced on a hi-lift extended way up and the hi-lift is engaging on flat metal.  :o No...wait...scratch that... don't ask me. I will start sweating and curl up in a fetal position....again.

Lastly and I promise... the last....well for this post anyway  ::) are you cutting in a wiring/power port for the trailer in the hitch? I didn't see a cutout for that. Figure I would mention it now before its all painted, etc.

As for starting Big D I don't care when you start it. Would I like to see it? Yup....but I think you cited some pretty good reasons for not doing it...."before its time".

(Yup....see what I did there....just tried to get on Don's good side by agreeing with him on the start-up so he wouldn't slam me for being a couchriding internet troll....or at least that's what I was trying to do....ha!)

Of course, if you're doing the full on open door instead of the tailgate maybe only having a "step" on the "open" side of said door would make sense.

At the moment I am planning of building a pull out step thing onto the bottom side of the rear bumper. Haven't started that yet, but that's how I planned to solve that dilema


I also wonder about putting a "foot" (saying "foot" cause "hi-lift catchy point" sounded weird) on the bottom of the bumpers (front and back) so if you use the hi-lift as a jack it is not sitting on flat metal. Instead the "teeth" of the hi-lift lifting point would sort of "fit" a similarly serrated sort of foot on the bottom of the bumper for safety.

I will start sweating and curl up in a fetal position....again.

Hi-Lift jack: There will be a poly jack base incorporated into the swing away tire carrier. I plan to fab up an adapter that fits the jack and attaches to the clevis attachment bosses. I figure that would be super secure and could even act as a semi-safe tempo lack stand


Lastly and I promise... the last....well for this post anyway  ::) are you cutting in a wiring/power port for the trailer in the hitch? I didn't see a cutout for that. Figure I would mention it now before its all painted, etc.

Yes, Already have it. I will have power connections for shore power and a 12VDC connection capable of being used as a jumper cable or power connection between the truck and the trailer for camping ops

As for starting Big D I don't care when you start it. Would I like to see it? Yup....but I think you cited some pretty good reasons for not doing it...."before its time".

It will get started all in good time. You read "Patience and a squirrel" yet?

I have had a buddy ask me about the steps when I do my rear bumper.
I've had a topper on my truck since day one, never been off.
With the topper in the way, the steps won't be a lot of good in my mind.
Now this swing away step...I need to see this. Might be an answer to me as well.

I envision removing the tailgate and the lift gate/lid/window/whatever that thing is and building that door and window deal. I see creating a simple set of steps that slide into the bumper and can be pulled out when at a bivouac to allow your to step right up into the rear if you want to

Time to get busy building the spare tire carrier

I'm using three hinge points for added strength

I created a little bit of space so it won't be too tough to assemble

Not perfectly spaced, but I wanted the center bar to bisect the turn signal and the brake light lenses

It will take 21 feet of 2" X .120 DOM tubing to span the tailgate and support a couple hundred pounds. About 116 for the tire/wheel, 120 lbs of water + structure + water jugs

I'm estimating 280 lbs fully loaded
