Guys, I’m looking for advice on tires. I’m currently running Nitro Crossteks on my stock Ram 1500 Wheels (20s). I’m happy with them as highway tires but I don’t think they’ll work for some of the trips I’m planning. This Summer I’ll be going to Portsmouth Island, NC which is all soft sand...

Curious about this myself. I’m debating getting one of their bumpers.

Not the best picture but here’s my 2011 1500 post-fenderbender/excuse to get a new bumper. I already have a RTT that we use for easy car camping. I’m looking to get into real overlanding this year though (if you’re in the DMV area send me a message). Current plans: Wheels/Tires Winch. I’ll...

Haven’t been active. I’m looking to start making some trips and want to get setup with a group in the NOVA area.

I've been looking but haven't found too many.

Here's the most recent update. I decided to put in the (possibly temporary) floor. I've been running low on funds so this was a salvaged piece of plywood from my mom's house. It has 2x4 supports underneath which are brand new and will stay. I did this primarily so I can visualize the space...

The first step was getting the old rotted bed off. I didn't have access to many tools at that point so I just used a hammer and pry bar. It probably took 8 hours total. I thought it would just fall apart with a little effort but he had gone all out with the supports a structure. That's a...

Decided to start a thread for my build. I started with a 1977 homemade trailer. I don't know any of the specs but it has a pretty big axle and leaf springs. It's a 4x8 bed. I'll attach the next updates in different replies.

I probably should have been more detailed. I have a 2003 Ram 1500 with a four way connector. I'm just beginning my build so I can change things pretty easily. I'll look into what both of you have posted.

Hi all, I'm in the process of building my trailer. I plan on having built in power. I haven't decided if I'm gonna use a dual battery or single battery system. What's the best way to charge the trailer battery system using my truck? Can I just connect it directly to the truck battery? I'd...

Most people are content with renting a beach house for a week. We're not. Portsmouth island is accessible only by ferry and contains no roads. 4X4 is required as all roads are made of sand. This adventure may not be too extreme, but all who come will enjoy it. On Sunday the 18th we'll meet...

Hi everyone. I look forward to getting to know you all. I'm an EMT in Northern Virginia who's just getting into overlanding. I've been an outdoorsman my entire life and a car enthusiast for years so I decided to merge both passions. I drive a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab. It's not anything...
