    It’s still available. Had to cancel the Baja trip due to family health so wasn’t able to show it. PM me your number and we can talk.

    Options for round the country trip.

    We did the dalton this summer in our rig. It’s a 5500 Ram that I built a custom camper on. I ended up building my camper because I wanted a huge slide as we have two boys (8 and 5) that are super active and we were/are thinking of doing some long term travel in it. I also am a Cruiser nut and...

    The tanks are external, but do have heat pads on them. If I were doing lots of cold weather I’d just move the freshwater inside and then I think you’d be good. Roof is 4” of polyiso and walls are 1.5” I believe. Floor is 2”.

    It looks like the airbag part numbers are 358-5311 and 358-5712. They aren’t that expensive...I think about $175 each. In the rear I drive it with essentially no air in them when it’s unloaded. For the front the bags replace the spring so have to run them there. I still have stock front and rear...

    The tranny is the g56 6speed manual. I’m using a custom airbag system with Firestone bags for weight rating. I think they are around 4K lbs per bag if I remember correctly.

    A few folks have asked for interior pics. Grabbed these real quick. Hasn’t had its full scrubbing yet for winterizing. The pano is included to get an idea for the space...but ignore the distortion that makes the molding look super bumpy...

    BeefCake's build...a roll your own Earthroamerish family expo rig

    I'm curious about those new toyos you saw. I ran the M608z 265/70r19.5 on my truck for almost 100k miles(I re-grooved them once). They wore like iron, but I was not thrilled with their mud/snow performance. I live in rural Western Oregon where mud is a constant 6-7 months a year and I travel...
