The 3.5" REI CampRests are very comfy (I own 2 of them) but suffer from the rolled edges, unlike the Expeds. :sombrero:

Just about to hit 1/4-million miles with the original 5.9l and auto. Like anything, proper maintenance is the key. And as mentioned before, they're the bomb in snow. :sombrero:

Nice to see the "cousins" parked next to each other. :sombrero:

It was good to meet you at EXPO (we met at Waymon's brisket extravaganza) and Rueben looked even better close up. You certainly don't need to apologize for your woodworking skills; I'm covering up my sins with carpet! Richard :sombrero:

What year Dodge and what length bed?

Definitely check out backcountry.com for the PETT system. Good price on a complete package. Although there is no substitute for a friendly sit while looking out on your favorite panorama, the PETT rocks, especially when you're in a less secluded area. Works as advertised. :sombrero:

X2 on the shell. You'll be glad you have it. For the dirt bike, my brother-in-law and I used to use his Harbor Freight trailer (Que the laughter). While not exactly up to the cool factor, that little thing followed us all over the deserts and mountains of the West with 2 bikes on the back. At...

You are currently living my dream. An impressive array of hills knocked off. Cheers!:sombrero:

i would have liked softer suspension and 2 good air bags in the rear but guys told me are not very good on highway( some air transfer between the left and the right air bags). Hey there incognito...you can plumb each bag separately. If you tie them together you will definitely get air transfer...

I have bags which are probably very similar to yours. They are mounted directly between springs and frame. With simple Schrader valves at the license plate frame, these bags have been on the truck 16 years with zero failure. In terms of smoothing out the ride, this only happens under heavy...

Hey there Diminimis...is that Prineville Resevoir?

I can't recall...unless, of course, you were camped near Lake Hill/Panamint Valley Springs and howling at the moon. :sombrero:

What Larry fails to mention is that I called for the spots after watching his left rear wheel run halfway over washouts at the crux on several tight corners...and he was running the shortest wheelbase of the three! I'm not bashful and he was gracious about it! While it's true that Lippincott is...

Ugh...thanks alot! My banker is screaming as I write this. :sombrero: Seriously, thanks for the report. I'm still chasing steering and ride gremlins.

They may also be out of Pt. Mugu here on the coast. They fly over my house quite often on final along with other aggressors. :sombrero:

Thanks for the update on dimensions. Guess I could have looked at your original sketches...DUH! Really looking forward to your finished project. :sombrero:

You have one of the best rigs out there. Simple, classic, and it's set up just right for what you use it for. I like the fact that you can use the tailgate as a porch. :sombrero:

Great build. I've been thinking about a very similar build. I like the idea of the low profile forward overhead storage for bedding, clothing, etc. What is the width of your camper?

Jerry has given sage advice. The 5.3s are stout and economical for the size of the vehicle. :sombrero:

Nice write-up...thanks! My in-laws live just outside of Prineville and I'd really like to take some time and explore all of Central Oregon. Sounds as if you had a great trip. :sombrero:
