    2024 RAM CCLB flatbed + Overland Adventure Truck composite shell build thread

    I miss Australia, we lived in Melbourne for a year. Circumnavigating Tassie is a dream! We only made it there once but it stuck with us.

    2024 RAM CCLB flatbed + Overland Adventure Truck composite shell build thread

    Forgot to mention that we pulled the OEM wheels off and replaced them with 37s. Here's a fun fact: you can put 37" tires on RAM 3500 without any suspension modifications. The key (at least for us) was to use AEV's Katla 17" wheels. They are designed to fit these RAM HD trucks perfectly. We get a...

    Yeah, good call on backup cooker. We actually plan to do most of our cooking outside (depending on the weather and mosquitos) so we'll have a plain ol' propane cooker with a small refillable propane can. We upgraded the OEM tires to 37s so they don't fit underneath anymore.

    Oh, I'd love to hear about your travels in Alaska. I was up there on a motorcycle and we traveled through SE / Inside Passage on our sailboat years ago. It's on our list. And it's a driver for the form factor we want because the pigeon-sized mosquitoes are brutal in places. 550-class truck...

    We looked at some slide-in campers, there's loads of really great options out there. But there's no getting around it, they just can't use space efficiently. You always lose space around the bed sidewalls. So flat bed it is. Sourcing a flatbed in the US sucks. Australia has offroading dialed in...

We lived on a sailboat for years and spent time on the water in the Sea of Cortez. Now we want to spend winters on the beach in Baja and we need...

    Picked up our empty shell from Overland Adventure Truck in Olympia, WA a few weeks back. Cranking on the build out now.

    I got to see this setup a few weeks back. It's a great rig. If we hadn't decided to go with Overland Adventure Truck building us a new camper, we were strongly considering buying this one.

    [Price Lowered!] 2000 Ford F250 7.3L Diesel FULL OVERLANDING PACKAGE - $15,800 - Vashon, WA

    In the spirit of full disclosure, the drawers are not nearly as pretty as they are in that build thread. We've been using them for three or four years. But holy crap, they are useful.

    Here's our build thread. I kinda peter'd out after the drawer build so it's not updated. But you can see what we did on the platform build anyways. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/2000-f250-7-3l-trucktor-build.218302/
