Thanks man! It’s always been my goal 4x4 even though she’s old and sports stock 22re, I swear I’m driving a 2019 model! Lol
I had a lowered 2wd 86 pickup with a 22R for my daily driver in high school, that thing took a lot of abuse and kept going! Those old Toyota's are bullet proof if you take care of them and know what your doing while you're off road!

Hello OB Community!

On May 29th I picked up a 2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Crew Cab.
We'll be sailing out of Seattle, Wa.
I'm experienced in backpacking and extended rafting trips around the west, but I'm a novice in vehicle assisted overlanding. Can't wait to learn!

Here's the rig on June 8th after a week of rafting on the Rogue River in southern Oregon :)

We are new members from the east shore of Lake Tahoe. We also spend some time in the SF Bay Area. Previous experience was some moderate off-road in a Jeep Rubicon in Arizona and Utah while living in Scottsdale.

We are looking forward to meeting people, discovering new routes and joining activities in the Lake Tahoe and greater California and Nevada Area.

Hey all!
We're building a Ram 5500 camper truck. We currently have a Nissan NV2500 4x4 van. Also have a Suzuki Sidekick for trail use.
Ultimately, looking for friends in the Utah area to take large truck trips with. We have been mostly solo in our 4x4 van. But building the truck for extended trips and because we take so much gear with us. :) Would be fun to connect with like minded people. We aren't afraid to take our vehicles to inappropriate places. Ha ha! We drove our 4x4 van up Lippincott pass this last Christmas.
I have many questions about things we've never thought about, like good larger fridges for the adventure box truck, and water tanks, and things like that. I suspect we'll have to have tanks made, but maybe not. Learning as we go.
Also, we ride motos, and paraglide. We host ADVriders here in the Salt Lake City area. We love hot springs and getting way, way out of town.
Here is a photo of the day I picked up the box. The day I became a plumber. Ha ha ha!
We're cutting it shorter by a few feet, and possibly bringing it closer to the frame. Probably. And building an overcab section, also. The Ram is 4x4, and had a steel flatbed before. Purpose built boxes are sweet, but this was a few hundred dollars. I honestly couldn't say no.
