Yes, this rig was posted here just a few months ago....
I’m selling this truck because plans have unfortunately CHANGED….My loss is your gain! I bought this truck about two months ago off Expedition Portal with dreams of living in this and traveling full-time in this poor man's Earthroamer of sorts. It’s been an amazing rig and has served me well in the short time I’ve had it but several serious and unexpected life events (unexpected family obligations, job loss, and personal hardships) has completely upended everything and now I need to find a more traditional living arrangement and something to commute in.
