Coming along...Hoping to get the camper on in the next 2 weeks!
Wow! Some amazing rigs posted on here since I last dropped in. So cool!
Finally sorted out the vibration issues with my 2017 RAM 5500 Hemi 4x4. Installed Justin's custom Centramatic wheel balancers and the Kelderman dual shock steering stabilizer which both made a huge improvement. However, was still having issues with vibration, but was eventually fixed by the local RAM dealership by aligning my steering linkage. Aside from the stiff ride with an empty bed, the truck feels amazing! Took it to a super muddy camping even this weekend and it handled really well.
Added sport seats from a 1500 and a Mile Marker 15000 pound winch. This project has gone way longer than expected but is finally starting to come together right in time for camping season, so I am happy

Wow that’s cold.
Any problems? Where did you camp/ sleep? Duratracs did their job well?

Yeah. Quite chilly.
No issues other than the insides of the windows icing up a bit even on full defrost. I stayed in hotels (truck was fully packed to make our return to the northern great land, so no room for even a sleeping bag to be layed out). The hotels I stayed at in Edmonton, Fort Nelson, and Whitehorse had plug ins, so kept the block warm overnight. Took it real easy getting going in the mornings for the first 25mi or so.
Yep. I like the duratracs. Run them on both the power wagon and my xterra.

Yep. Agree on Duratracs for snowy / icy / patchy winter roads. Switched out to Toyo AT3's cause my Duratracs got loud as they wore. But, will go back to Duratracs once the AT3's wear out. The AT3's suck in Alberta winter conditions compared to the Duratracs I had.
Staring to get serious about building up my truck.
2004 Silverado (Duramax and all that stuff).
I've had it since new, mainly used to pull large trailers with ATVs or more recently a SxS.
But there are places I want to go where the toys are not welcome and a trailer is not a good idea.
So, just picked up a shell from Radica, they call it the MoonLander.
Stopped at the Monuments in Kansas on the journey from Ohio to Colorado (where Radica is located).
I love the wide open spaces (and not much else)
Posing with the camper shell just after install in front of the shop.
Supper happy with the product and the quality.
Probably start a build thread elsewhere.
After lurking on here for years this is my first post. (so yes it's a trail post to check out how things work).

Oops, I did it again. Another orphan followed me home. 91 F250HD, 7.3 idi, 5 speed. Really nice unmolested truck. I pulled the front bumper off to tow it.
