RamCruiser...the build

Looks good! I dig your steps.

Yes and you really miss them when wheeling. 2" .090 tubing bolted to the pinch weld. Very hard for the rails to see any contact with the factory skids.

Are those the Randy Ellis Design rails?

Thanks again for the advice you provided a few weeks ago on the Power Wagon and FWC combo. We’re pretty close to a deal, so I may be joining the club in a week or so …

Sorry about your flood. Not what one expects in Phoenix …

The next few posts will show the modifications done to the four wheel camper for my needs.

First up is a side access door.The main reason for the door is to eliminate the need to carry stuff up and down the stairs. Installation was straight forward the only mod was to add an aluminum header. I will be changing the latch to be able to work it from both sides. The door is insulated and solid.

Installed some 2" rails for some rocker protection and to protect my AMP Research steps






The steps do not operate when in 4WD and are well protected by the rails. They do not operate when the rear doors open to make access to the fridge without the steps being in the way. Its super nice having the steps without any loss of clearance.

Very cool. Do you have any photos of how these attach? I have factory rock sliders on my 06 PW... I'm assuming they won't work with the factory sliders?

Not sure if they will work with a factory set up. My rails bolt to the pinch weld. I wanted the steps with the best clearance and some protection was my goal. Most sliders reduce clearance by a min of 2" something I saw as a problem with the vehicle height.

Looking good Phil! I still need to pick your brain about those steps and sliders one of these days

Lighting—

For additional lighting I used Old school 130W halogen KC with spread lens. Wired to a relay to come on with high beams.

How did you mount the KCs to the bumper? Looking to for something similar with some Lightforce lights I have.

Did you fabricate these tube rails or purchase? Can you show a better picture of how they're mounted to the pinch seam?
