The old beast is still a work in progress but I did finally get out for an overnight to do some testing of the latest additions and one last weekend of kayak fishing.
Nice! Full size Dodges are always a good time, dig the flatbed and rack too. I had a job at an HVAC company for a few years and my truck there was a 3500 Dodge flatbed, It was slow as hell but I loved that truck. This brings back some good memories, haha.

Thanks for the comment, yup she is a lot of fun and no mistaking the sound of that v10 when she is working hard.

I ordered and installed a second FuelPax Universal Mount for my second gas container. Now I just need to fill both gas tanks, mount the propane tank and go off-road somewhere to really test the stability and weight of everything on the hitch carrier. Feels solid, but need a true field test.

Is it possible to mount your pax/right side FuelPax vertically?

Packing for my trip tomorrow morning. My favorite part of any trip is the plan. GAIA, Bins, reservations, and then the part of having no clue where on the trail I am camping or what I am going to find. Countdown is T -23H.
Trip reports! Do you have an established thread to update during the trip or plan an end of trip roll up?

Installed a Leitner rack on my Rebel
It would be cool if there is a quick attach tent to throw over the top of the rack and sleep in the bed. Also cool if had access to a storage container from inside the bed.
A 23 zero tent will hopefully be sitting on top of it in the next 3 weeks. Was supposed to get here the same time as the rack but got pushed back to mid October for delivery.

Those rack are really nice. So many possibilities!
For sure! Even though I knew they where high quality I was surprised just how nice it was when I unpacked it. Not sure who/what they got doing their welds but they are probably some of the best I've ever seen.

@Spud.Built, I am looking for that same Dometic drawer fridge to put in a similar setup as yours. Good job on yours. One comment, though: the refrigerator needs to have space around it for ventilation, and you have it fairly tight in an enclosed area. It will possibly overheat (especially in the back where the compressor is) and it will likely reduce the lifespan of the fridge... Since it's probably too late to make the enclosure bigger, I suggest you drill lots of holes on the side walls to make them look like a colander :). This will provide some airflow capability, but will also make your wood frame lighter which has many other benefits.
There's actually a fair bit of space behind it, I also attacked the side board with a hole saw near the fan, definitely had no plans about sealing it in there!

Those are some nice boxes. Where did you get those ‘U’ brackets?
Local Ace Hardware: U-Bolt 1/4“ x 3/4“ x 1 1/2”. After bolting the cases to the rack, I flap wheeled excess protruding bolt length. 7/32 vacuum hose slipped over the u-bolt using WD-40.

The V700‘s will fit items such as a Cleanwaste toilet and 2gal Rotopax.

Finally finished my trailer build, and tried it out at the beach today. Started as a flat bed trailer 48”x66”. Slide outs on both sides. Kitchen slide out on the back. 2-82ah batteries for power. Took about 2 months to build. Also have to ability to lift the tent an extra 12” with gas struts
