Did anyone else get disappointed once they saw it was a ram but then got excited when they saw it was a single cab ? 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

I was kinda hoping you’d do a Silverado build but it’s still gonna be a sick build though

I wasn't big on the rams ,but seeing in as a single cab has put it in a different light.

That's the plan!

The cummins I-6 is a brilliant Donk . Good on fuel (i get between 12.5 -13.5 per 100km on mine) heaps of grunt and very dependable . looking forward to the build .

Your Rebel blew the doors off my little BT50 yesterday (or Monday) on the Gateway MWY gave you a big wave!! Keep the awesome content coming mate!

So cool to see the Australians get these trucks and do them up in their style. If I see any more Aussies building American trucks I might have to get a Patrol over here 😂

1.5m box and run a 500cc quad for missions. Means you can still have a beer and rip around for a fish, instead of needing to be sober on a truck licence for the bigger gvm

Parts definitely aren't an issue if you know where to look. AusMV solve that problem 100%. Crazy keen to see this build. Might have to upgrade the mighty 1500

So keen 🍻

When you were going on about a new platform etc etc, I assumed maybe a chev or Ford F truck or something but seeing another 2500 I’m a bit underwhelmed to be fair. Not that it’s a bad car but hopefully you do it right

I’ve dreamed of buying one of these for ages! Can’t wait for the build

This is going to be sick, cant wait too see the colour. I think sandy tough with all chrome blacked out. 4" inch lift with 40's 😍😍😍 no matter what is done i am sure it will be a show stopper cant wait

You and me both!

Gotta love the single cab looking forward to seeing the build 👍🏻👍🏻👌👌😎

I'm so excited to see this build take shape! I've been wanting to build an overland single cab long bed RAM, so watching your build will be very motivating! Also, if AU emissions allow, definitely upgrade the intake to the Banks Monster Ram to prevent the factory grid heater death bolt from claiming your engine! That factory grid heater bolt melts and gets sucked into the engine! I recommend outfitting your engine with all Banks stuff, it's well proven! Can't wait to follow along!

Damn! Thought it might have been a chopped Y62. Makes sense that’s parts would be easier to get and still has an amazing V8 sound with decent GVM upgrades available as well.

@theexplorelife

5 ай бұрын

Chopped Y62 would be an epic build too 👌

Thats easy. When you get back here (Australia), get yourself an ex-ADF Unimog and build that up! No issues with GVM, Build it lower than most, removable camper and dont go too wide. Mega reliable, more capable and ... er, well, not exactly fast (unless you repower it). There's at least one in the states with an LS in it. There's at least one in Australia with a Brunswick Chev 6.5L Diesel in it. Just watched past 1/2 way. Oh. Another RAM. ... :)

As long as you get rid of all that chrome, nothing worse.

37's/40's decent lift, decent canopy with big ass tinny on the roof with van in tow! bring on barra fishing in the top end!

Lovin the fact it’s going to be touring right been wanting to see one in Aussie and asa touring rig

Brought a ram 1500 to tow a 2.5 tone trailer everyday to work and only put 30,000km on it and had nothing but issues with it. I’m going back to a 79 put 250,000km on my last one and had zero issues

Go to AEG in the USA and get the 3 inch lift kit and clears and you can run 37-38 inch tires

Regular Cab For The WIN! I chose a better one, but if you do 40's and a full AEV Prospector XL build you will win! Everything! Everywhere!

Such weapons!

The saving grace was definitely the single cab, let’s go boys, can’t wait to see this build!!!

Dope truck, loving the regular cab spec! If you're looking for tuning to give it a bit more juice or a weight loss plan feel free to hit us up, we've setup a bunch of Aussies so far and would love to see that Cummins making the power we know it can!

Yeah single cab, 6.7 L on the 2500 chassis will be a weapon. The single cab 2500 has a 3.57m wheelbase thus shorter than 1500 bighorn 3.9m wheelbase.

Great to have yahoo back in Oz fellas...geez...hope your onto it with that big beast. Do ya need a ladder to check the engine bay?

Ever since seeing the renders of a single cab ram with a flat Aussie style try have loved them. Genuinely so keen to see this build.

Just to put it into perspective. Even in America, you usually have to order theses trucks from the factory as a single cab.

Yjat's actually pretty cool. I could have a full tray and still able to take my 2 kids camping with the 3 roomy seats compared to squishy 79 series bench seat

Would’ve been sick to have it get a mad lift and tyre pre rego so it doesn’t have as much hassle with engineering and going over the pits (similar to what Macca did with his 79 series Land Cruiser)

I like the vehicle and to be different and hope it a usa style build with their campers on the back. I see the trim level for reliability, but parts are still not available in aus, but there are so many rams now touring and haven't seen too many issues, but the warranty sucks here for them. Hope it's dark blue with your black logo on it

I’m not a fan of the RAM but I’m looking to look at the final product cause it’s a single cab. From what you have explained so far, I may just change my prospective. Onya….

I’m really excited for this build. I have fallen in love with the ram trucks since your last build!

So so sickk!!! Lets goooo!!!

Looking forward to the build. In the market for a tow rig for our upcoming lap so it'll be interesting to see this beast evolve

Don’t get me wrong, I love the American trucks. But parts especially when remote are not available. I recently watched a video from Mitts Alloy Canopies and they had to wait 6 months for a replacement head light for their RAM. Just saying. I hope you don’t have these problems.
