I don’t deny that I think Bed Slide makes a decent quality product, however I do not think J would trust the weight ratings quoted…. Especially not installed in this way. The only thing keeping that bed slide attached is 4 riv-nuts pinching a thin steel or more likely tin/aluminum bed tub, and a spray on liner coating… if you had 1,000lbs on that tray fully extended it would pull those expanded fasteners right through your truck bed. If I were installing one of these in my truck I would either cut a few pieces of 14-12 gauge steel flat bar and bolt into it as it sandwiched the frame, or drill directly into the frame and tap the holes to thread a bolt with high sheer strength directly into the frame through the bed. I would personally attach it with the flat bar just so I know I am not causing any weak point in the frame that may potentially create structural integrity issues in extreme situations which is very unlikely but I’d rather be safe than sorry

Mistake #1 Coleman brand propane. Always my very last choice because most of the cylinders are defective. Take a good look at each and every one. Bad threads. Bad seat. Crooked outlet. Dented bottoms. The newer plastic bottoms often separate from the metal cylinder. Coleman is trash. Bernzomatic is a better choice. You'll likely get better performance too. Even off brands are better than Coleman.

I did install mine but the rear wiggles when slide all way out. Is this normal?

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing

Great video. Very informative and detailed. Thank you!

Any other grease I can use ? They want $360 for that small tub from Mercedes

Loving the white and red too

I've removed the old pulley that was completely shot, but when the pulley came off, the inner bearing stayed on the stud. Do you have any ideas how to get it off mate?

Hello, thank you for sharing the process. This is a great product. Very practical and useful mechanism.

Plagues 4th gen as well

Nice and easy. Going to get this slide by November

Great video. parts list shows 2005-2008 pitman arm. The one in the video looks different. It this correct to upgrade to gen 4, gen 3 pitman arm and gen 4 HD steering parts. Hope it right, orgered everything already lol

Thanks for the tips and tricks!

Thanks for this video. Could you do one on how the rifle cases are mounted on the side of the topper? Also curious what Overlanders store in them besides boom sticks?

Thanks for the video. Was wondering why couldn’t get pulley off the stud. Was hoping didn’t have to undo the long tensioner bolt completely. Thought would come off stud after loosening the front nut. Working on a 4Runner but take same pulley so learned from this video

Wooow!! Thanks. For the video 👍👍👍👍👍

47ft-lbs on that outer nut mate.

I just blew out the line w/ compressed air. Did not use anything but air and it started working again. Thanks- great info.

Purchase a filter for the unit.

If you really wanna see the stuff fly out of it, have a thirdhand and have that person push the needle valve where the propane attaches make sure they have gloves on because it’s gonna get all over their hands.

Great video !!! Question: you’ve have this on for a couple years . How has it performed over time, with overlanding ? Has it gotten loose or any failed tie rods?

awesome instructions mate! ... for repacking wheel bearings😎

Nice job and explaination!

I think you have a major hit on your hands for this video is concerned. Congratulations! Now, if you could only put out a tutorial titled "Understanding Women", you'd have a New York times bestseller 😅

Great video! And well done! While we're here, is anyone have any experience using the filter that can be purchased to go along with this unit? I purchased a filter and it works great except now it no longer allows the unit to light. I'm wondering if the filter has reached its useful in it. Does anyone know can that filter be cleaned manually? Or is it just something disposable we have to toss?

Great video. I'm having trouble getting the bedslide to slide into the truck bed when I try to install it. Any advice?

Isn’t the issue with the drive link the bolts on the Mopar parts? They told me the dealership would fix my truck for free but all they’re gonna do is weld the bolts shut. The problem with it is those bolts that you were losing and tightening, loosen up overtime.

thanks-only video that actually works!

Excellent video, I need to watch the series. I have rust on the bottom of the upper door window as well. I might blast the rust with some fluid film as a short term solution. Thank you for posting.

push and hold the pilot few second before light up

Mine normally start first to second try...if they don't you already have issues . Most likely oil in lines from propane ..especially if you use a 20lb tank vs the 1 lb tanks.

Turn tank off, 10 seconds flame goes out, hose is empty. Turn flame valve off. To restart, turn tank on slowly, turn burner on and light. The hose can not have pressure left in it because Propane is oil and the oil separates and clogs the hose over a few days so this is the correct way to turn off the burner when the hose goes a distance before the proprietary regulator for the burner. A barbecue pit hose does not have this problem because the regulator is at the tank valve.

Q tip alone didnt do it, it wasnt until I blew air in the pilot nozzle that it cleared out whatever the blockage was.

That unit you picture is NOT the Little Buddy Heater. It is called the Portable Buddy.

Point?

??

@FamilyAdventuresOverlanding Good Morning Sir, what tire size/spec do you have? I have stock rims as well and would like to purchase BFGoodrich as well. Thank you.

Something i dont get here.... If air is injected into the output end of the pilot tube in order to get rid of debris which may be blocking the tube...where does that debris go? ....back into the be feed lines and probably back into the control valve of course...the debris could conceivably be expelled out the gas inlet but it has a very valve, which i did not see opened ....SO, if there was trash in the system, its still in the flow path somewhere...just waiting to clog it up again

I was about ready to disassemble mine, when I watched your video. tried it your way and it's working great. Thanks

Thank you it worked

Thanks for the video brother. Subscribed. I'm still trying to figure out where the two wires coming off the AC compressor go. I know one goes to some round looking thing under the heat plate but can't get in deep enough visually to see which one goes where. Sucks. I don't see it even in the FSM.

Amazing job! I have a 1995 that will need this done. Do you happen to have the part number for the new weather/rubber sealer the window sits in?

I didn't here what year your truck is but was wondering if it has gone in for the recalls Dodge put out? Because there was a recall on the steering and my dealer won't sign off the recall on my 2006 because it now has this linkage with the clamp on steering stabilizer. BTW, I am checking with other dealers in case it's BS. Also, the MOOG equivalent (DS800980A) is virtually the same to the Mopar one except the MOOG one has grease fittings on every joint. But there was a recall on the MOOG ones production years 2013-2018. Does anyone have any info on newer ones since they are still being sold? Good video tho, I subscribed and I agreed, those jack stands made me nervous.

fantastic info thanks for sharing!

Use an inline filter to prevent clogging !!

How do you remove the buner tile

What are u using for a source of heat? TIA 😊

Im trying this! I make an apple onion porkchop...this sounds interesting!

Your not supposed to put blue loctite on plastic its going to degrade the plastic and it makes that point a weak spot prone to failure

Very much so ty Hope It helps I should Have got the bigger one or the rounded kinda square one I really wanted maybe later. Mines been outdoor is whole 3 year life just needs a little love They aren’t the best but they aren’t the worst
