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...
Replaced the clutch with a South bend unit and serviced tcase as well. Loading up this week and heading for Baja if anyone along the way is interested in taking a look.

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...

6.7 Cummins
Head Gasket and Studs replaced at 110k
DEF and DPF delete (and stock parts if you need)
6 spd G56...
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...
