2000 Dodge RAM 2500...all current mods are DIY. Planning to do a DOR coilover kit down the road. Currently working on the inside for more creature comforts. Put in vinyl flooring yesterday and starting building a custom sofa/bed. Norcold frig/freezer is mounted. To the right in the photo of the interior, on the floor, the black metal outlines what will be a cabinet/counter top.

Can you tell me more about the Rack you have and do you like that tent?
I built my rack out of 2x2 steel square tubing and added more as needed. I couldn’t afford the setup if I bought it. The height is setup for optimal aerodynamics while still allowing the use of the tent annex. We just made it back from Baja and so far so good on everything. If you want better pictures of the rack and the electrical system let me know!

I have been wanting to explore the backcountry discovery routes in Oregon and Washington, if you ever want to explore together let us know!
I live near Yakima and one of the WABDR routes goes right by my house. I have done most of Washingtons on a motorcycle and would love to do Oregon, Washington and Idaho in my truck.
Let me know if you would like to plan something, I would love to do them with someone.

Just found this thread and LOVE seeing all the other full size rigs on here!

Here's a picture from last year in Tahoe. I've added a KB Voodoo rack and X-Cover RTT since this picture. Link to the build
