1998 Ram 1500 Expedition Truck

[EastCoastExpedition]

My truck started out as a stock 98 Ram from British Columbia.

Ordered a 52" curved light bar for the roof as well as some new 285/75/16 Wrangler Duratracs on Ion rims. Also replaced the stock bumper from a heavy duty one i made.

Sent the truck off to paint, to change it to magnetic gray. Also bought a rack for the box, i added the mesh to the top along with 2 metal boxes for storage and 3 25watt solar panels to charge my battery when i'm out in the woods camping. Also made a tire carrier for the back.

Made a cross piece on the rack to hold a water tank to hook up to my trailer it can also be used for a shower. On both sides of the truck i added ladders to first get to the boxes on top but also as a little protection.

Found a slip tank on kijiji for $60 with the pump so i cleaned and painted it and threw her in. It holds about 190 liters, all together i have about 320 liters on board the truck.

Had the trailer out for the weekend, the side ladders make a great clothes hangers.

Wow. That's a hell of a transformation.

What's the bottom of the ladder attached to?

 

[EastCoastExpedition]

Its just welded to the side steps, i'm hoping later on to build more rugged sliders.

Excellent and impressive build!

Got a new winch hooked up in the front.

Me and my dad took his 2006 cummins out on some old dirt roads when we sliced a tire. Figured we didn't have and reception or a spare so we drove 10km on the dirt road then and additional 35km on the paved roads til we got back home. I think the rim should buff out!
