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.

Ah, and yes, we are going to put new vinyl on, as soon as we are done chopping and so on. :) It's hideous. The other side has a scooby doo looking dog on it, and someone wrote "scary" on it.

[ItchyFeetOverland]

Hi all. Joined today and very excited to join this thriving community. I am from he UK but currently living in central Italy. I am very impressed by the founding principles as they completely align with my views of what overlanding should be. I am currently preparing a 1998 LR Defender 130 for permanent overland travel. In Early 2021, we will give it all up, sell everything that wont fit in a Defender and head off to Halifax, NS, with the intention of doing the Pan Am Highway over 2 years. After that...who knows where we will go but I do know that we plan to still be in a Defender! I'm looking forward to getting to know more of you all very soon. Our vehicle is called Mandy and when we bought her back in the spring, she was rather worn out after a hard life in Germany! To save her blushes, I will post some pictures of Mandy once she is looking more ladylike...I hope you understand :) Nigel & Linda.
