2020 Ram 5500 84CA 4x4 Regular Cab 17K Miles
Located in San Diego California
Price: $225,000 B/O
A sad time has come... Since i started this build, i did a 180 career change, have developed some health issues, and have had almost zero time to use this and seeing it sitting in my driveway is killing me.
This has been a 4 year labor of love, building my dream mid-life crisis adventure vehicle. This was designed to be a 100% self-sufficient off grid home away from home and it has performed flawlessy.
This entire thing was designed to be bombproof, but also for every part of it to be very easy to work on. Yes I could of tightened up the wiring in the plumbing tucked away more, but I’ve been there, done that working on people’s (and my own) campers built with everything buried deep, and it’s a royal PITA. I went through great lengths to design this for ease of maintenance, repairs, or modifications.
No expenses have been spared, putting the best of EVERYTHING into this and totally eliminated the downsides of vehicles and campers I have had in the past.
I 100% assure anyone seriously interested that test drives it, will agree, its the best handling/riding large rig out there. I have spent insane amounts of time and trial and error to get this part of it dialed in 100%
I struggled with greatly with the decision to keep or sell, but, in 4 years, I have used it less than approximately a dozen times, and it will be 5+ years before I am able to have the free time required to justify keeping it.
The sum of the parts couldnt even be bought for my asking price now. Taking a loss and it stings, but i need to see this beast used!
I AM WORKING INSANE HOURS, SO LIKELY WONT BE ABLE TO REPLY MUCH TO THE THREAD, BUT SHOOT ME AN EMAIL IF YOU ARE SERIOUS AND WE CAN DISCUSS DETAILS VIA PHONE.
EMAIL IS KEVIN "AT" BIGREDPHOTO.COM
EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE DETAIL, AND THE ENTIRE BUILD IS COVERED IN MY BUILD THREAD (IN SIG) AND IN MY YOUTUBE VIDEOS. I AM ASSUMING ANY SERIOUS BUYERS WOULD START THEIR RESEARCH THERE.
FAQ:
Q: Is there a pass-through?
A: No!
Q: Can I add a pass-through?
A: No
Q: Will you consider partial trades?
A: Doubtful, but ya never know
