Hi all, name is Chris. I work as a Mechanic/Installer at a truck shop here in Austin. After building and tracking racecars for more than a few years I'm just getting into 4-wheeling and Overlanding with my 2006 Nissan Frontier. I've rebuilt and upgraded the suspension with a full Dobinsons kit, added a bit of armor, a little lighting and off I go.

I've done a little light rock crawling at a local off-road park and a put couple trips down the Hill Country Expedition Route under my belt as shake down runs. With the (hopefully) soon addition of a camper shell I am planning a trip through New Mexico and Arizona in late September and come springtime - Colorado and Utah.

Welcome! We are also new to Overland Bound. We are also planning for a camper shell on our RAM. It will be great to see what route you take on yours. You have some great trips planned!

Hi. I think I've already made my decision as A.R.E has come up with a near perfect (in my case) for Overland Travel camper shell. I do wish they had their own version of the cab-to-camper sliding window gasket like with Snugtop, but as I said - near perfect.
