I went up in September to visit BAV and Orlando is a great guy. I'm looking forward to getting my 05 Ram 2500 5.9 shortbed outfitted by his shop. Total Composites is the way to go!

[@JKGEmslie]

It’s unfortunate that total composites won’t sell direct. Very cool though!!

[@MogsAndDogs]

Yeah, they changed that last year. I assume they had a lot of issues with customers assembling the boxes incorrectly.

Rad! Big step! 🙌🙌🙌

[@MogsAndDogs]

It is indeed!

[@dollysdiary160]

Loving those sunglasses Gina ❤. Thanks for sharing this trip - great to see who is going to be building your new box 👍

[@micheljansen85]

Hah, insane how small this world is. I live 3 kilometers away from where this vehicle was stationed in Germany.

[@MogsAndDogs]

Small world indeed!

[@ericm6519]

Very cool to see manufacturer. Looking forward to seeing how the process unfolds🥸

[@MogsAndDogs]

Fingers crossed!

Hi guys, exciting. I did laugh when you were talking about A/C...
I write this sat in my underpants (bad image I know) but that's us, forever hopeful for that little breeze 😀
Good luck 👍🏻

[@MogsAndDogs]

Haha, I guess I just assumed you had AC.

[@TheGapDecaders]

Sadly not, but possibly on the next build 😀@@MogsAndDogs

[@BHrobry]

You should definitely get overhang for your mug, space is always a premium on expedition vehicles if you can get more space do it now, especially that it is expensive to redo.

[@MogsAndDogs]

I understand where you are coming from but I need to be able to tilt the cab.
