Over the years I’ve built a ton of rigs for traveling and general use. Diesel dodges on 37’s with 4 wheel campers, Tacoma’s or 37’s, land rovers, land cruisers, here’s a few of the rigs currently in possession.
It was time to add another full-size rig to the mix

I like the dodge trucks, and having owned a built up 05 Cummins truckI really like the size of the 3rd gems. So I began looking to see what was out there
Stumbled across an 06 Powerwagon. 103k on it. Dealer maintained had a terrible 4” Rancho lift on it. But generally a near perfect old truck. First priority was to ditch the lift. It looked ridiculous, and the girlfriend hated clambering up into it
Thursday to the rescue. Front leveling springs, track bar, and fox all the way around brought it back to reasonable(ish)

I had a flatbed in my Cummins truck, and really liked the way it worked with the 4 wheel camper, so I began the hunt
This truck won’t be getting a camper, so I bought a used aluminum bed I found cheap in marketplace. Something I could mod and not worry too much about.
Took some work to get it to fit. But it’s mounted, and now I can start cutting it up

I really like where this is headed! I always liked the size of the 3rd gen Rams too, but the interiors are so much nicer in the 4th gens. Anywho, Ill be following along on this one.

This build is going really slowly, mostly due to my absurd issue with buying old defenders..
But. Started working on the flat bed. Wanted to make it a touch longer, but in some fenders and begin making some front boxes for storage.
I also stumbled into a deal on a roofnest tent.
Next project is getting going on building the frame work for the canopy....
