Well I was finally able to find a cap for my truck. I found it and had it painted to match. We were able to make a trip before I got it painted and it worked well. We stayed pretty warm in 25⁰ night. Cant wait to go out again

2017 Ram 1500 QC Sport Hemi. 2” Bilstein level with Icon 1.5” coils in the rear. Rebel wheels with BFG AT KO2 in 275/85r17. Oh ya, and the GFC!
Looks good- any pics with the camper open? How do you like it so far?
Thanks

Bigger and better things coming soon!!!! Just ordered a titan 52gallon gas tank, a rigged for dirt tire swing out, and an AEV Snorkel. I was about replace front and rear bumpers but didn’t want to spend the extra money. Pretty happy with my current set up.

What are these running boards/sliders? Link? I am looking for something similar. I know they are probably rocker mount, correct? so not a ton of weight bearing ability? They look good and will serve my purpose.
They are functional sliders and mounted to the frame. They've protected my truck multiple times. White Knuckle Offroad makes them. They start at $900.

Sorry for the late reply - clearly I need to check the forums more often. Here are some before the level and new wheels/tires.
I only had it out once in February and then everything closed in March. Weather was around -5 C and I was comfortable with a space heater. Setup is super easy and I had lots of room to cook and hang out in the bed.
The side panels are genius and the bed is so much more usable than when I had a tonneau cover on.
I’m still debating what I want to do with the bed. I don’t think I want a permanent build. I think I may install a Cargo Slide or something to make accessing the fridge and other gear easier.
I do plan to put a solar panel on the roof and also wire to the starter battery to keep the aux battery charged in the bed.
Overall, I’m pretty happy. I do have to park facing up an incline when it rains or all of the water drips down on the rear doors. They don’t leak, but the seals do get saturated which is annoying in cold weather.

I'm excited to see the Ram platform picking up traction in our community. The last few years for me has been hard because not many companies provide quality gear for our trucks. Slowly but surely folks are realizing these animals get vicious on the trail. I've pushed my behemoth through some very narrow paths, up sketchy cliffs and through some savage river crossings like I was surfing the earth. I look forward to meeting you all and encourage you to contact known shops and ask about Ram products. Alot of companies don't even realize Rams are being used like we do.

Also, for you 3rd and 4th gen 2500/3500 guys/gals, I've found a great QD sway bar disconnect kit that works great on my '18 Ram 3500. I've got about 5k miles on it with no visible deterioration. It's the Rubicon Express sway bar disconnects for a Jeep TJ. They appear to be the same as the BDS qd links specific for the Ram and a bit cheaper.

I’ve got a few rams for experimental purposes. One is a 1998 quad cab 12 valve Cummins one is an quad cab 05.5 common rail Cummins and the little on is my crew cab short bed 2012 ram 1500 sport. Just got my first rtt over the weekend so have to mount it to the topper still. The 2012 is pretty well stock just normal stuff. 2 inch leveling kit 35x12.5r17 pro comps are topper. Homemade rear storage box, sliding drawers. Will post more about the 2012 when I get it ready to go.
