New Truck who Dis?

[boogielander]

I’ve been surfing forums, I’m getting a feel for what it is I actually wanna do. I’m definitely looking at an overland build. And there’s a Jeep customizer just down the road from my house who is interested in helping me out. I’m super excited.

My first move is probably going to be a mid height rack and a clamshell tent. I have a camping weekend the first week of December I’m hoping to have something in place ready to test by then.

What I really like, is the Alu-Cabin from Alu-Cab. If I can find one nearby and walk off with it, I’ll probably pull the trigger. There’s a dealer about an hour away who says he has inventory. I just don’t know whether or not my first step should be a $20,000 one.

Then again, this whole truck was kind of a yolo. Go big, or go home.

I wouldn't drop $20k on a camper unless you're sure you're about the overlanding life
meaning, you gotta be flying drones, taking pics and videos for the gram and youtube, drag the skottle around, and hand pressed gourmet coffee in the morning before packing up campsite, and of course, starbucks whenever you pass by one.

kidding aside, i'd rent clamshell tent first to see how it feels camping in the cold and see how it feels and improve on that. What works for many people may or may not work for you and me.
