Truck I’ve been building for a couple years now. Still a long ways to go though!

How do you like the Rhino Backbone rack on the cab? I was sup to have one installed a few months back but I chickened out because I didn't want the holes in the roof of the cab lol. The truck looks great btw, keep building!
Nothing super exciting, but it has been in the family since brand new. Coming from a well-built Grand Cherokee that saw monthly trips to Tellico and other east coast destinations, this is a bit more tame and was passed down from my dad. We now mainly use it as a weekend family camping vehicle. It hauls everything we could ever need and still feels as solid as it did when it rolled off the line in 1998. Future plans are some sort of rear tire carrier to get a full-size spare out of the cargo area (unsure if I'm going to weld one up or take the lazy way out and get a Hitchgate) and just keep the thing running good with typical maintenance stuff.

Body looks good on that expedition for being 20 years old.
Thanks...it has been a southern truck for all of those years. There is surface rust on the frame rails, but nothing major. The roof has a bit of faded paint and the notorious Expedition rust starting to form where water pools in the tracks. I'll probably sand that off and then do something with the roof once it warms up again. Not sure if bedliner or re-paint.
My little brother's Expedition finally gave up the ghost electrical-wise at 350k mi. If I could get it started, it'd probably still run great!

I'm only at 160k on this one, so still a baby...I'm hoping I can get another 15 years out of it so my son can drive it one day.
Testing Rhino Batwing awning for the first time. No wind so did not stake it. Pretty easy to setup by myself, if windy rally should have two people or you might be replacing some parts.

I have spent months waiting on my new truck to be built and I couldn't be happier with it.
2018 Ram 3500 SLT 4x4 crewcab shorted (6.4ft)
6.7l cummins with G56 manual Transmission
Added a ARB Bumper, Warn 16.5ti winch, and SwitchPros SP9100 right away
headed up to Bozeman in the coming weeks to pick up Go Fast Camper #161 for the truck.

The rack is a KB voodoo. Right now this is the only only I really have but I can try to get a better one tomorrow.
