New Ride, New Ride!!

[SonOfNeptune]

Well, as of last friday the divorce is final so I went out today and traded in the (compromise from the ex-wife) Power Wagon and I picked up the truck that I originally wanted... the one that I had been working for/towards over the last two years. Picks will follow tonight.

2016 Ram 2500 Cummins Mega Cab

Nice.

Haha, it helps with the grieving. Like the truck, any plans for it

 

[SonOfNeptune]

That it does! So my plans are as follows: AEV 3" lift, AEV Front Bumper, Warn 16.5T Winch, AEV Snorkel, AEV Rims, BFG 37x12.5 KO2's, I have the tent and awning set up already (although I am exploring options on the bed rack), I have a Cobra 75 CB that is going in, ARB twin air compressor that I need to find a home for (Thinking behind the second row seats), a pull out bed insert for the bed of the truck (for ease of access with the tent rack), down the road I plan to swap over to the 4:10 gears, Carli Sway Bar up front... Just a few things to get started. Not to mention I need to figure out a new home for the National Luna Fridge.

Wow awesome! The fridge is a tough one. With the rack and rtt set up it doesn't leave much protection from the elements or there's. There's in the cab if you don't mind losing seats. Maybe a modified toolbox?

Nice truck!

Maybe a full tonneau cover and then a fridge slide for it... should help with the elements.

 

[SonOfNeptune]

I was thinking of making a soft cover for the rack to assist with controlling the elements. In the power wagon I sacrificed on of the seats. I just have to figure out a mounting system

Yes! Dude can't wait to see this put together. What lift did you decide to go with?

 

[SonOfNeptune]

3" AEV Lift, AEV Salta Rims, 37" BFG Ko2's, AEV Snorkel, and AEV Bumper. On top of all that I am meeting with a local shop tomorrow to discuss a custom aluminum roof rack.

Wow, this build will be impressive. I own a 03 Superduty and can't seem to pull the trigger on building it. I love seeing full size builds such as yours, Lil motivation.

 

[SonOfNeptune]

Alright folks... its been a busy weekend here. So I started off yesterday with the bumper install... here are the before/afters.

[SonOfNeptune]

Today I completed the snorkel install...

 

[SonOfNeptune]

Tomorrow, pending weather I will be installing the national luna fridge freezer mounts and then on wednesday the lift, rims and tires get installed.

Nice rig! It's cool how you are using a full size truck as an Overlanding vehicle!

Definitely want to follow this, I wish AEV made stuff for my year ram.
