Thought I would throw my hat in the ring.
Old Dodge and the one that got me hooked on Dodge and Cummins...
Was a great truck and would haul the mail (and just about everything else) but it was WAY too nice to take to the Dez. Soooooo...
I bought Blackie...
Just took her to Overland Expo to get some ideas...first roadtrip and she did great. She is gonna be my Overlander...24 valve Cummins, manual 6 speed. Doing all the mechanical stuff now (mostly front end bits), already put a lift pump, Edge CTS with display, my custom intake/filter I put on all my diesels, big exhaust (turned down right in front of the axle), Redhead steering box with BD brace, etc. Next up is a slight lift, maybe regear, then start with the racks, RTT, bumpers, etc. I am hoping to build a roof rack that allows me to still haul dirt bikes in the bed with a roll up cover for the overland trips...but might just end up with a Thule adjustable bed rack...who knows.
