[@bugoutjeep8065]

Love the setup. I just picked up the km3s for my dodge 2500 cummins. I have the km3s on my Jeep thats got a Cummins in it too, I like the tires overall, but sometimes you can't beat dedicated mud tires or something.

[@johnbeckman8916]

I can see the appeal of a Toyota for maneuverability but that torque that you have has got to be so sweet. The diesel noise is a downer. I'd LOOOOOVE to see a vid of a group of overlanders talking about the pros and cons of different choices in their rigs. Dream rigs. 😃

[@Down2Mob]

Thx for that idea John! I need to put a video like that together. Maybe at NW overland rally? Dude you got my gears turning!! Thx for that!

[@johnbeckman8916]

[@bravowhiskey4684]

The larger mufflers from companies like Donaldson can take a lot of the noise out of the diesels. I played around with this on my 2001 ram. The real improvement came with the common rail motors. The direct injection engines are so much quieter than the older ones, it’s unbelievable. The clicking racket at idle is the most noticeable difference, the common rail engines idle quietly and keep the ambient and in-cab noise down.

Cool trucks, very clever setup, I really like your bumper! I drove my 95 ram 2500 today! Ooh I forget how old school is hahaha I towed like 7k, easy for the truck... But... I know this truck it almost unbeatable.. but.. daaaaam it's tired to drive it for 180 miles hahaha I forget about that...and today I get the reminder hahaha.

[@coady-wp3xf]

i think you have the right idea. drive train is unbeatable and by buying used old dodge you can swap all the junk parts on them. so everything but the drive train. at the end of the day you will save money. better parts last longer. to buy a new truck and set it up would be 100k easy. i like this way as now all the new parts can be after market. pretty damn cool. nice rig.

My 2nd gen is more of a tool hauler than an overland camper. But its going camping in a couple of weeks. I bought my cap and bedslide used on Craigslist for much cheaper than retail. It took some qork to get it qhere it is today but it looks great and does exactly what i need it to. I have most of the functionality of a new AEV. Their truck is around $100k. I bought and built mine out for like $6k.

I've used Nikwax Products for years. Their first demo was to waterproof an Anaperna down sleeping bag, then float the inventor, all 17 Stone, that's 238 pounds, of him across a 7 foot deep pond. Certainly attracted attention. The products work as advertised every time.

[@jassemalzahrani4502]

When im back in Oregon we should bug out! I need to get back

[@Weld702]

Wow this is such a nice build. I’m struggling finding one I think isn’t beat to shit. Any advice when buying one? Like things to look for on a test drive or even physically find under the hood or the chassis ?

[@javiergarza8626]

Try finding one from California lol. No rust. Plus a lot of diesel owners don't want to deal with the high gas prices and inspection and registrations for the trucks. And look out for coolant leaks. Most likely they have a blown gasket. Trust me they know it's there and will act stupid when you find the leak. Look inside the turbo as well for an oil leak in there or if the little fan inside the turbo is wobbly and loose if it's just an oil leak it shouldn't be too much of a big deal if you don't mind it. Also if it's between 170k and 250k miles transmission is about to give out. So that's something your gonna have to deal with eventually. I'm just giving my advice since I have a 2nd Gen Cummins. The first seller had the blown gasket. The 2nd time I looked at one I bought it, it looked bad cosmetically but mechanically it was good. I got it with 170k miles and transmission just gave out with 240k miles I currently have it shop for transmission rebuild. Also try to avoid the trucks that have been modified like having cold air intakes and compound turbos that stuff is dumb to have. Find as stock as possible. Also the paint being faded and cracked dashes is very common too so that's another thing that's gonna be a it is what it is situation .

Where was this shot at?

[@bravowhiskey4684]

I’ve always thought this truck looked great when I’ve seen it on IG. Seeing it in depth has changed my opinion about a lot of the details. I appreciate his enthusiasm, but there is a bunch of things that really don’t make sense to me on this rig. Why build a cow killer bumper without a winch? The headlights are goofy, leave that to tuner cars. Subwoofers waste a ton of space that is better used for gear. Secure your rifle, you make us gun guys look bad. The shelf thing looks like a deathtrap, it’s obvious that he just winged it without any plan. I’m glad he changed the wheels, 20s are for brodozers. I don’t think I’d have done a big turbo on an overland rig, the lag makes low speed stuff difficult. Water-meth injection would be nice to keep egt down when towing in the mountains. I really dig the service box trailer, I’ve contemplated doing that if I upgrade to a tray bed on my Ford build. I appreciate that he was honest about the tent rack wind drag. I’m very happy with my decision to straddle the top of my service box and keep it behind the cab. I like the wrap, I will likely wrap mine then do the clear ceramic coating. I enjoy seeing second gen dodges, i miss mine. I see lots of “what not to do” items here, which is also helpful. Thanks for the quality content, bromigo.

[@Down2Mob]

Hey man! Thanks for the constructive critiscm. I see what your saying, but a lot of the things you listed are so minor and just personal preference. The shelves are actually really solid and lock in place so they wont be coming out un announced. The lights are also personal preference (I think they're cool, depends how much they cost. I got new headlight housings for $100 but still need new bulbs. If these were 2-300 with good bulbs that wouldn't be too bad. People would love that at expos and such. The subwoofer takes up space but he has plenty of that to go around.

[@Down2Mob]

But ya thanks for watching man always appreciate the comments!

[@Natedoc808]

Agree on rifle retention, no need to give the grabbers and net nannies example to come after constitutionally protected rights. Subs are personal preference for sure, but I’d leave them out also. Like the honesty about many drawbacks including wind drag of the overcab tent. I’d also be concerned about turbo lag in low speed. I’m about to acquire a new to me 03 quad cab, long bed 6 speed and planning to make it an adventure rig. Probably not full overland status like this, but definitely will have some custom ceatures

Is it safe to keep a gun there? I’d at least want it in a body mounted lock box under the seat or something. You have a pickup truck bed too so there’s a ton of room under there to keep it safe. Don’t want anyone breaking in and stealing it.

[@coady-wp3xf]

its packed so damn tight nothing will hurt it. and if anyone wants anything there is little you can do to stop them. lots of things will slow em down but the saying goes locks only keep honest people out. keep the ammo locked and hidden so there is no legal recourse and what not....

[@josephsamsor1698]

matt coady I’m thinking it would at least make it so they couldn’t just break a window, grab it, and run. Being in a lockbox would make it not worth going for. However this doesn’t seem like a rig that’s ever used in very populated areas so I’m sure it’s fine.
