What did you do to your Ram today???

oh since you mentioned 30-60 day or longer trips, another thing to consider is the ability to stealth camp.
that is when sprinter comes very handy. During my Alaska and Canada trip, I realized a low-vis vehicle like a sprinter can be real beneficial to extended trips because they allow for stealth camping. You can just park it in a regular parking spot, close the blinds, put a partition or something between the driver seats and the "living quarter", put a high-vis vest and hard hat on the dash, and you can camp anywhere. That option is out of question with pop-ups (Hiatus, GFC, etc). When I was up north I had to secure campsites because it was still in season and campsites are high demand, so I had to modify my routes and miss quite a few things I want to see just so I can get a spot.

I got a friend who bought a Storyteller van. That thing went to most places that I took my truck to, the only places that it didn't go were the more bumpy or tighter trail (aka, places I wouldn't take my truck to anyways lol)
another friend got a OBS F-250 with a 4WC slide in, and he's planning to use that to stealth camp when he goes to Mammoth to snowboard this season. I'll see how that goes and report back to give you some more ideas.

now this is what i REALLY want lol checks all the boxes.
offroad? yes (just no tight trails)
extended trips? yes
wet bath? yes (iirc it also has a washing machine)
insulated box? yes
cab to habitat pass through? yes, iirc
storage? yes
HVAC? yes
internet? yes
full kitchen with fridge and freezer? yes

only thing is no more high speed runs and it'd cost me $450k lol

Nothing says stealth like a sprinter camper van. May as well be a truck with a camper.

My exact thought lol. Those are used so much now I assume the only reason people buy those is for camping. Unless it has some church affiliation on the side or a daycare graphic.

Yesterday, I put some Mickey Thompson’s Baja Boss ATs on my 2023 Limited. Quiet ride thus far and I hope they perform well here in the winter NE months as claimed

Camera installation complete. Front cam is iffy. Needed that angle. Went in-cabin for rear cam. Just not feeling the under the truck work. If I had a lift, would have been different. Had about 10 feet of wire I to shove in a pillar. Used a connector to steal power from existing mirror.

Now to learn the app and turn sh!t off.

Installed the core 4x4 rear end links. Question, do I need to also install a washer on the top bushing between the frame? I only did it on the side facing outward? No instructions came with the links.

We can’t take her anywhere without hearing that question.

Joe's Truck Shop in Summerville (SC) did a fantastic job applying Rhino liner. I opted for the UV protection, too. $699 out of the door. Next stop - DECKED Cargo Glide.

have you tried steel-it?
with proper prep work they work really well and when applied properly, the protection layer will be infused to the metal so even if the paint chips off it's still protected from the elements.
without proper prep work they're just like regular paint can come off and have no protection.
the only downside is it's a bit expensive but the plus side is you can reapply (assuming there's no rust) and the color will match.

learned about the prep work part the hard way last year LOL

perhaps stealth camp is not the right term to describe but it is what it is.
through my extended trip last year i was told people getting chased out of parking lots with pop-ups, but those in sprinter vans and RVs were left alone.

oh wells.

no pic but picked up my new Alienware AW3425DW, Corsair 1000W PSU, RTX 5070ti in the cab.
in the bed:
My KR9 to put on Zentico handguards
Sight tools to help my friends swap iron sights to night sights for their glocks
RTX 3080ti, 32" IPS screen, and Corsair 750w PSU dropped off at friend's place as gifts so he can upgrade his PC and play battlefield 6.
