@M Rose - Thanks, No problems with Sketchup, been using Pro Version for years doing architecture, two big problems are 1. finishing up our OTH logo and then figuring out how to modify it to work as a stencil that can be cut out and 2. Time, or the overall lack of it. lol fortunately...

Thanks Steve, I will play around and see if I can adapt our OTH logo to fit, and then find out who around here can cut one out. Will defiantly post pics when we get it complete.

i am planning on stripping the truck down to the frame and send the body pieces off to the body shop for paint while i rehab the tired 450,000 mile running gear. Hoping to transplant a 12 valve cummins in place of the old 7.3, I just love the truck and they don't make them like that anymore...

From my experience, none of the drawer fridges maintain temperature for long when the power shuts off. We looked at the Dometic CD30 which also has a little brother the CD20 (Same same width and height, just not as long), but ended up with the Engel SB30G (which is almost the exact same size...

Steve, what software did you design that in? would love to have the source files so we could fab one up incorporating our logo. I have most drafting / design programs.

Mike, you are lucky to have someone trustworthy to do your painting, Most everyone we have talked to lately does not want to do an entire vehicle, especially a large one. Have my 1991 F250 super cab stored away until i can get it fixed up, the shops that will do it around here work on show...

We bring our 12 year old German Shepard & it seems like we bring more stuff for her than we do for us..lol Along with all the regular dog food and medications, we make sure to have plenty of extra water, and a couple of her toys for her to chew on if she gets stressed. We removed the two...

Size and complexity of the kit should be tailored to your intended type travel, for example how far off the beaten path are you going, how difficult is the terrain, and what risks do you take on your adventures. You can get by with a simple off the shelf kit when 911 services are likely to be...

Adan, is CB still the comms of choice for this trip? If so i will see if i can dig out an old radio and toss it in the rig, haven't used CB in a while and they have been gathering dust.

Unfortunately our WJ is still not quite completely reassembled after its Raptor lining so we will be bringing the daily driver, but looking forward to getting out in the woods for the day:)

Welcome Josh!, Great looking rig, should take you to lots of great places the NW and beyond. Well as soon as we can kick this pandemic and the current fire storms. Hope to see you on the trails or at a meetup. Dave

Remco, welcome to the OB Community from a fellow NW (Camano Island) overlander, Trailer looks like a nice setup for our typically soggy environment. Hopefully we can all get back on the trails soon.

Travis, Welcome to the OB community. Nice looking Ram! You are only about an hour north of us on Camano Island, hopefully we will get to meet you in person at an event or on the trail soon. Lots of great members here in the Northwest to meet.

Hello Joel, welcome to the group, You are lucky to live in a great place for exploring, Michelle & I travel to the Missoula area as often as we can, There are plenty of ghost towns around the area and wonderful scenery. There are some great people in this group and a lot of good information...

Welcome Marshall, Beautiful Ram, if only there was a way to avoid the pin striping that our NW back-roads love to apply to the sides of our rigs...lol While our main overland rig is an older Grand Cherokee, we do find ourselves up a trail in our Ram one ton dually on occasion and those rear...

Welcome to the group Travis, you will find lots of great like minded folks here, always good to see a new member in the Northwest. Hope to see you at an event or on the trail somewhere soon. Dave & Michelle

Freddy, Thank you for the input. I will look into doing something similar, defiantly do not want to trust something attached only to sheet metal.

Freddy, looking at adding a RTT and annex to my WJ, did you mount yours to the stock rails and crossbars? or did you have to make any changes to support the weight? Thanks

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest, you have some wonderful country up there for exploring! I travel often to Calgary for business, hoping to get up there for some adventures soon, well whenever travel is permitted again that is.

I looked at that on their site, just seems like a whole lot of weight to place on the hatch assembly that it was not designed to handle. I wonder what the long term affects on the hinges and the strut mounting locations would be. The new hatch struts that come with the carrier have 375 lbs of...
