Thanks for tuning in for this special 'In The Shop' - Our family loves this truck and we are excited to share it with you!

My 19 ram is serving me well. Couldn’t be happier with the performance , looks, ride and quality. Now to slap on some Accessories seeing what is possible. Thanks for the great video

The TAD nod and the Deadbird vest just underline your good taste. Your rig is mind blowing!

Always good to see AEV builds. Thanks for doing walk around!

I love the "turn and look at your own vehicle, you're driving the wrong vehicle"... Exactly how I feel.

I like your Toyota builds.. but I *love* this truck. I have a 06 Ram 3500 Cummins up here in Canada for my ATV and tractor tow rig, Farm truck, grocery getter, bad weather and off highway conditions transport... I just love my truck. The way you have chosen to set your truck up and how cleanly installed everything is, just flows so well. You should feel very proud, Clay. Thanks for sharing you and your teams experiences, travels, tips, and snippits of life with us.

Great review! I have a ‘14 AEV JKU 4.5” with 37’s, bilsteins with 5.7 HEMI... BEST riding Jeep around! Love me some AEV!💪🏼🇺🇸

That is a hell of a good looking truck. Just bought a new Ram Classic 1500 night ed. V6 specifically as a daily driver and to tow a small 3000 pound cargo/camper trailer. I am really happy with it. Yes the V8 might have been better but the V6 does meet my needs and is a great engine. So far so good. Dodge builds a nice truck. This is the first truck I have owned so I hope it works out great for my retirement years............if covid ever ends.

Fantastic and thoughtful build. Satisfying to hear the consideration for each detail.

Picked up a 19 Ram 2500 Bighorn with the Cummins and love the heck out of it. Got my eye on that AEV front bumper set up. $2.5k plus the lights an a 16.5 winch is a bit costly after spending as much as I did on the truck. Will have to wait but im going to save my pennies and be super happy in the long run.

Sick truck. It’s big, intrusive, equipped and capable. Perfect.

I love that front bumper. Fits the Ram style perfect.

I wish I had the extra cash to buy all the AEV accessories for 2014 Ram. The prospectors are just awesome vehicles. Great job on yours!

A real Beaut ! Thanks for the dive on this !! and letting us know the manufactures for the aftermarket installs .

170,000 miles on my Ram cummins and every new aev mod makes me love it more.

Badass truck...loves to have that similar accessories in my dream truck only..greetings from Sarawak Malaysian Borneo🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

Appreciate the overview. Definitely a nice truck. Enjoy it!

This truck is astonishing you did an amazing job looks great and probably performs just as well.

I love the midnight edition Rigid line!

awesome truck...complete accessories overlander...greetings from Sarawak.Malaysian Borneo...🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

Thanks Clay, I love my Ram too. keep up the great videos.

Totally love the way you set up the truck.

Awesome rig! Thanks for sharing.

Clay, back in '15 I remember being at Paul's little shin-dig Saturday night at Mormon Lake with some buddy's enjoying a beverage, chatting, while one of your series was being projected for the crowd. I was commenting to them how well it was produced. Happened to glance next to me and there was a woman standing there also watching. She looked oddly familiar and it took a couple of minutes to put 2 and 2 together, it was your wife. Had a nice conversation with her. At the time I had a built 80 series Lexus (still do) but in '16 I got a Power Wagon that I've also done a slow build (including a FWCamper) on that I use for excursions here in AZ, UT, CA, NV and want to do more into Mexico, particularly Baja. Range is an issue, and several of us PW'ers on the Portal are discussing the Brown Davis tank as a range extender. I've reach out to them, with no response yet, but what are your thoughts on it clearance wise off-road? It seems that they have tapered it enough that it wouldn't be too bad departure wise. Thoughts? (The sender could be an issue diesel vs. gas) I know the guy that distributes Patriot Campers in OK also has one on his RAM and *might* be able to import one. I should contact him as well. FWIW, I work for Discount Tire (Corp) and have been running the X3's (and the Red Letter's prior to that) for quite some time now. Very impressed with them.

Awesome build. Best truck in your lineup. Love the channel, subscriber since the beginning. Thanks for the content.

That truck looks amazing. It is one step further the power wagon

I remember asking you once why you don`t have diesel vehicles... Now you have and looks great and must have a much better torque and mileage (autonomy). You should have such a vehicle for `return to Mckenzie series``.... I enjoyed the video a lot !

Ram makes a hell of truck. I have been very happy with mine.

Now we want to get rid of our 200 series for 3500 like this. Thanks a lot EO and clay! lol.

Awesome truck ,AEV seem to have it nailed for the Ram ,,I need to move to big sky country

Great choice ram pickup over those little runners

Awesome purpose built rig. I have a 2014 mega cab diesel and have been doing my research in what accessories to outfit it. Not sure of going full overland but, leaning towards more funcion.

Subscribed, I am a big fan of the AEV trucks! Please more content with them.

Beautiful truck! Tastefully done!

Fantastic Setup Sir

Clay, I love Yur truck and Your videos, I just stumbled onto Your channel about a week ago while looking for info on the AEV Front bumper. I wish I would have seen it before upgrading truck.. I see a lot of the stuff I'll eventually get that I could have thru AEV. On June 20th We flew to Auburn Washington (Bud Clary Ram) to pickup My 2021 RAM 3500 HO. Before I took delivery it went over to HDK Pros where they installed the Carli Dominator Suspension on 3.5 Kings with 5 37s on 20" Fuel Maverick Wheels. I went with the 20s because I'm planning on pulling a 35' 5th wheel and My Backhoe with it. I've had a rear wheel flat while pulling a large 5th wheel and honestly it scared Me. that Rim being an 1 1/2" closer to the ground somehow comforts Me. Even though I think 17s would have made the ride way better. Anyway I'm rambling.. Out of all the research I've done I like the AEV Bumper best. I need to get fender flares and would like to know are those Your Stock fenders in this video? They seem to fit nicely with Your bumper. The offset My wheels have put edge of tire about 2 1/2" passed My stock fenders and the mud all over the side of the truck, we'll You know what I mean. I have a few more questions. is there an email I could contact You on? thank You again for Your insights and inspirational videos. 🙏 Bruce T I just found Your site I'll try email over there..

my favorite is still your Tundra since i am huge Toyota fan ..............i get what you said when walking away from your truck if you do not look back to glance at it you are driving the wrong vehicle i tend to do that often as well

Please do a long term review in 6 months and a year. How does it hold up on the trail, the extra fuel tank?

Nice truck, hope to see it in action in a future video

Toyota calls...."Clay we just saw this video on KZfaq. We need to talk...." Clay: "What's there to talk about? Put a diesel in the Tundra, then we can talk."

Nice work!

I'm getting a Power Wagon this year. I'm not doing a lot of towing with it so I want the Power Wagon. It is great for me but I'd sure like to set it up with most of the stuff you've done right on yours, although I probably go with the Carli lift just because of the what I'm going to use it for. Outside of that, yours is one to mimic.

Really enjoy all the info you provide because now I can order one for myself the bed system was what I have been searching for how much would you say you have in everything because I’m going to set my rig up the same way just different color

Awesome truck

Good video, thanks for sharing ✌

Awesome looking truck mate great build 👌🏽🍻

This poor guy is gonna bee that dad with Velcro shoes when he’s 55

I have a tundra and decked out 4Runner. I’d gladly trade in my tundra!!

what mounts are you using to attach your radios to the dash and how are you attaching them through the switch panel? I've been looking at different locations myself and this looks the best

I love your videos. Great job with the truck. Question about synthetic winch line: Have you had any problem with the synthetic rope freezing and the ice causing damage to the rope itself internally?

Rad video dude!

ExpeditionOverland and insight on when we can expect to be able to get one of those tanks....?

Looks amazing Clay! How can I get the Brown Davis Aux Tank for my 3500 in the US? And how much is that tank?

Love the truck, what do you use for your iPad mount. I have a ram mount attached to my passenger seat and hate how much it shakes

A monster dude,

Dang the changes that occurred in 5 months😍😍 love everything you guys do and can’t wait for the Croft family solo series!

Clay, any reason you went with the FTM 400 over the Icom 5100A units you run in your other trucks? We are beginning our HAM journey and are looking to make a purchase soon. We are more of buy-once-cry-once purchasers so we would like to buy a higher end unit that will be able to handle any of our needs down the road. Using it mostly for overland comms and of course emergency comms incase things get crazy here in LA. Ive heard people sometimes choose a brand based on the Dstar and/or fusion repeaters near them, but this is all rather over my head. Thank you for your time!

Looks like a pavement princess

We have a 2016 AEV Ram Prospector 2500. My hubby loves it more than he loves me. And that's ok. If you own one, you know what I'm sayin'

nice setup

Dope truck

And you use it for household chores, So what does Rachelle think when yr driving this through the house doing the vacuuming or the dusting ❓

Hi there. Great job on the truck. What kind of mount did you use for the garmin in reach explorer and i pad?

Is the Brown Davis Ram tank for diesel only? I didn't see any specific details on their web site.

Are the wheels better than stock or are they just cool looking?

I'm curious where did you mount the base unit for the yaesu?

What are the pros and cons of the 37s vs the 40” option? What made you choose the 37s?

Did you do the diesel emissions delete? Remove the DPF and DEF system?

Great look, upgrades and accessorizing... probably did zilch under the hood though, where is in fact is where you should start if you are going to plug this much money into a vehicle.

Well for sure, you like shine, blink and speaching :P

Curious as to what you tow? I like the idea of a Powerwagon, but I don't like the wimpy 33" tires that come with it. Adding 37's of course throws everything off in terms of gearing, towing and suspension clearance - but based on AEV's website it doesn't seem like they do much proprietary, and they are just bolting on parts as it is.

I'm looking at mounting the cargo glide on top of a Decked storage system in my RAM 2500.

Does the truck have beef axles and brace support for differential

Any issues/difficulties drilling holes to mount the scene lights on the fiberglass of the ARE? I’m tempted to do the same to my Snugtop

Did you consider a Ram Power Wagon for your build?

I need the crew cab short box. Which canopy did you use?

Please, what is the color code of this trunk and how can i get this kind of hood? the front bumper is out of stock, any idea where I can get it. I love this build

gotta hook up a power wagon.. like this

🙋🏾‍♂️ I want one!!

Is their an aftermarket company like AEV that specializes in Toyota trucks and SUVs?

Hey Clay, hope all is well with you and yours. What model is your Grey man tech seat back cover? I see they range quite a bit price wise.

im very interested in this, how well does it handle moderate logging trails with Biiiiiig potholes ?

Sir, that is one badass truck. How do I get one and have you guys outfit it for me for back country expedition hunting?

Bed toppers seem like a western thing. I see them everywhere in Colorado but virtually never seen in the East Coast.

Why didnt you go with an 8ft bed for the 3500?

Awesome build. You mentioned a dog in the bed of the truck, how do you keep it cool enough on a hot day without windows & air flow in the topper? Why didn't you do lockers when changing the gears out? What about compressed air?

Clay. What gear ratio did you end up with?

Where is your intercooler? Is it vulnerable?

What a great build. How is the rear seat leg/knee room with the molly/gear on the rear of the front seats?

Nice truck, is it true you can't run a new diesel engine south of the border because of the sulfur content ? Going full size pick up is the way to go.

You didn't mention what antenna your using on the radio. Coming from a fellow radio operator. 73

If you don’t mind, would you drop a link to the company who did the ceramic. Been wanting to get my car done by a reputable company.

What Jack do you carry for that beast?

I like your guns.

I had lights on my topper. Just too far back for maximum utility

Wow i like the truck.good to drive in Borneo island Sarawak Malaysia state. Malaysian safari in the jungle tropical rain forest.

My dream truck that I will never be able to afford unless I hit the lotto lol

Amazing truck and very good info about the truck. are those power steps AEV product only?

What gears did you swap in?

I’m a bit of an XO grouch but I really did enjoy this video.
