My new beastie. I searched for months looking for the right burb. Its a 2001 2500 8.1 w/barn doors and only 93k miles. Its going to be my family hauling, dog toting, boat towing, camping, hunting, fishing, shooting rig.
I already added the roof rack as it had been removed. While I liked the smooth look it just wasnt practical. I will be adding a full size basket with removable clam shell ski/fishing pole rack and lights front, rear , and sides. I have a home made awning that will be attached when needed. It also gets used on my montero and truck.
I will be putting 285/75 r16s and leveling the front with a crank or two, no lift for now. The back will be getting a custom built lockable aluminum floor vault for my PRS rifles and general storage. The rear doors may also be getting storage compartments depending on whats there structure wise when I take the plastic off. I love the burb but my montero has more hidden storage in the third row compartment.
This will be a long term project for me hopefully. 2018 Ram Power Wagon. Right now I haven't been off-roading much. Mainly used to tow my holiday trailer and boat. In the spring I'm selling the trailer and going back to tent camping. I live in a beautiful area and you can't drag a big trailer to all the nice spots.
My 2017 RAM 2500. Leveled on 35's. Had various plans when I bought it, but have decided to just give in and embrace the overland build for it. FrontRunner Outfitters did the roof rack, and the load bars bolted to the DiamondBack HD cover. Installed the ARB twin compressor under the bed with some helpful ideas gleaned from this and other forums. Planning a 4 week, multi-state (possibly multi-country) trip late 2019/early 2020. Starting to get out on short trips as often as I can and start working out the bugs.
Long overdue for a build thread....

And here I was feeling silly for spending the dough on snow tires for my truck. Seeing all the money spent on these rigs makes my 3/4ton daily driver seem almost sensible.
This one was from our 5k+ trip. We started in So Cal, headed north thru Vancouver, eventually down in Jasper^. Then Banff and Glacier, beautiful area. Lots of other photos on my Instagram @Blugdog_co
