Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I will have to continue to get pics. We've only been out once so far.

Love seeing all these full size rigs!
I have a 22 Ram. I'm slowly adding gear to get it how I want.

I have a 22 Ram now also. Used to "overland" in my 2000 Silverado for years, all over as I travelled the USA. Not giving up on my Jeep, but thinking about projects for improving options in the Ram.

finally getting around to posting a picture of my rig. 1988 GMC suburban, Me and my boy have made several overnight trips to some local state parks and a couple big dirt track races testing out the sleeping situation, it sleeps 2 extremely comfortable and hauls our bikes anywhere we need to go, so far. Looking forward to some long distance extended trips where we can really put it thru the paces and see what is needed to be improved on. as of right now i have not done any major modifications on how i bought it a few years ago other then maint and repair. Really looking to swap the lift out to a nice riding 4 inch full spring setup and upgrade the 31s to 33s, and relocate the spare to the exterior and free up a little inside space. would love to build an extreme off road set up but this is my daily and still need decent mpg and functionality.
Excellent platform and good luck with the build. I’ve been looking for an old square body ‘burb as well.
What kind/brand of 4” suspension would you put on her?
really leaning towards the tuffcountry ez ride setup, have heard alot of good things on them and have rode in one burb with the ruff country set up and one with the tough country setup and the ride difference is night and day. the ez ride rode way better on the washed out backroads around here.
Here’s a couple pics of my 22 Silverado from a trip to Colorado/Utah last year.

Okay... Hope I put this in the right place. Having a hard time figuring out the structure of the forum.
Question: For serious back country overlanding would you do a) a truck camper or B) a class C converted to 4WD (like what these guys do... Not affiliated... Just the first Google reault:4x4 Motorhome Conversion - Advanced 4X4 Vans
Why or why not? Pros/cons? Personal experience? Expert assessments? Thanks!
FWIW, this is for a down-the-road personal decision. If I had to pull the trigger today, I'd do option A. Get the truck designed for offroad/camper (eg F-350 - 550), and add a 4 seasons camper. My gut tells me 4x4 and lift on a standard C-class camper just puts the offroad capes under something not designed for it. Worried about the stress on the camper shell, equip etc.

No point in going too big. 99% of Earthroamer things never leave a double wide gravel road that a box stock F350 DRW with a camper, can do just fine.
Depends on where you're going, and how big a camper you want.
We prefer smaller campers, and using the lodge or hotel from time to time.

I agree, you will severely limit where you can go as the vehicle size increases. Might look at a nice overland, off road camper trailer if your wanting certain amenities while remote camping.
