Dodge Ram 2500 overland multi spec build.

[zachary tyler johnson]

Hey guys, I thought I'd start off a build thread on my truck while it's still not far into the game, first off I use my truck for multiple things, it's my daily driver and while being my daily driver in the winter time I haul snowmobiles and ride all over, in the summer I pull a drag trailer and race at different tracks, I also get my fair share of camping and exploring in though. I love my truck and want the most unique setup out their, having said that I hope you guys enjoy following my trucks build and don't feel scared to comment or say what you think! Thanks!!!

Pulled a 10am-10pm yesterday Geting the deck off rack welded up to function with tent, painted and then mocked everything up yesterday and painted it now today I mount everything. Things coming together, I used cheap paint for now while I figure what kind of stuff I want to mount to the rack besides tent and lights and then I'll get it powder coated white to match the truck.

Haha yes it's amazing, it's about 7 foot 5 inches tall, I had to buy a whole 4 feet more of ladder haha! Yeah the annex room hangs above the ground, I have an extension but hardly put the floor in so I've left it for now since it's less clean up since I have a dog to. I just picked up a 99 inch awning that I will get walls for to I'm stoked mounting it tonight!
