    An Important Message - Be Wary Of Allowing People to Your House

    As a retired cop, I know better than to let anyone come to my house- I'll meet them somewhere away from my house, someplace that has video cameras recording. I'll be armed, and I'll have another armed person arrive separately and pretend to be a bystander.

    (Another) 2021 Ram 5500 Build Thread

    Very cool. Sounds like you're off to a good start. We built ours on a much larger vehicle, but our box uses a concept similar to yours, where the back part is a garage, and the front part is our living quarters.
