New to me 2001 Ram 1500. Rear limited slip, front locker, rebuilt transmission with 10 year warranty (Done March 2014). I just installed some weather stripping around the tailgate and sealed it up pretty well and I'm probably going to order a BedRug soon and just throw an inflatable mattress down. I'd like to do front and rear tube bumpers, shackle flip, front 2.5" springs, better shocks and 33s. I ride dirtbikes so I need to find/build a good hitch carrier. I'm wanting to keep it light and simple, able to cruise off road at a good pace, do moderate trails, and camp out of it for a few nights. I'm hoping to do some of the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route this summer.

Welcome to ExPo Roth. I've looked at the OBDR and wonder if you can take a truck with bed camper on any of it? All the info I see says it was built as an ATV type trail, but lots of pics look like fire/logging roads?

I haven't done any of it in person, but I know people take Jeeps/Trucks on it. I would get in touch with someone here: http://www.oohva.org/index.html

Thanks Maximus, your truck looks/sounds BA also. My 47re is going in to ATS soon, 100,000 miles of driving like I stole it have finally killed the converter. ( I hope its the converter) Snowy and cold here, and she doesn't fit in the garage so I've been putting it off.

Awesome pics trailbound!! Very cool to represent in that group. It's on my bucket list... Are you really running 3:73 in the diffs?
Why? There are MUCH MUCH better trans places out there, that have MUCH MUCH better parts for the Dodge autos

Long time lurker/reader figured it was time to post a few pics of my rigs.
#1- 1989 Chevy K1500- 350/700R4- Inherited from my grandfather recently. Bit ugly on the outside, but he ordered it new and took meticulous care of the drivetrain. 115K on the ticker and it runs like a top. Doing a nice job as a daily driver and camping rig while I'm finishing the build on #2. (got a pic with my co-pilot sitting still)
#2- is a dream come true- 1984 Dodge W350 Crew. Just yanked the puny 360V8 and np435, swapping in a 94 12 Valve cummins from a Ford Bus (only 23K miles!) freshly rebuilt NV4500 and reusing the NP205. Front is a Dana 60 i just regard and rebuilt (3.54) and rear is a Dana 80 limited slip. 2.5 in Skyjacker soft rides upfront and a shackle flip to match in the rear. I'll start a new thread with the full build up. Anyways, here is a pic before I torn it apart, and one as it sits now:
