Nice rig! I love the popup! I've been thinking of building a box for my truck with a full length popup. Did you build it yourself?

I will, I promise! I just painted the cab and put in a new interior, but I still need to paint the cargo box sides. I was hoping to take it on the Eastern Sierra trip, but I'm on the standby list. I have had it up Loon lake for snow wheeling and up on Mt Hood in Oregon. It's a 1998 ex military M1078 and also known as an LMTV (light medium tactical vehicle). Picture from last summer on Mt Hood.

I didn't build it myself. It was manufactured by Earthcruiser which was based in Bend, OR. They closed their doors April 25th of this year. Sad. They had been making them for 16 years.

They were probably doing good during the pandemic, but like a lot of RV companies, struggling now. Too bad. I still see ads for them on Facebook all the time though

I think we need to get all of the oversized rigs together on a trail run. Just sayin @SasquatchRacing @ECPowlesland

And I think we have a few other lurking around here

I'm in. We drive the 2023 EC Terranova on the F350 platform. Would love to get together with some other big trucks!

I just got back from the East Mojave Heritage Trail run. Two full size rigs, including Ben's Ram. My truck is still a foot wider and way taller. Even in the desert I had a hard time fitting on some obstacles and weaving between Joshua trees and Creosote bush. Lots of pin striping now. A full size and bigger run would be great though.

I'm up for a big rig run.

I'm up for a big rig run.

Maybe Black Rock desert? I would love to do Baja at some point. Might be a while for me though. Got lots of projects at home that I need to get back to.
