In this riveting episode of B is for Build, the team delves into the heart of their Dodge Ram 3500 camper truck, a beast born from the ashes of a crash auction find. After subjecting it to the elements for three long months, they confront the inevitable - minor leaks. But fear not, for the team's solution is as simple as adding more sealant to plug those pesky gaps. With the waterproofness test behind them, it's time to gear up for a 1,400-mile trek to pick up a new auction purchase.
Enter Giraffe Tools, the unsung hero of this tale, providing our intrepid builders with a wall-mounted vacuum cleaner and a pressure washer fit for champions. Armed with these tools, the team embarks on a mission to cleanse their truck of dust, debris, and all manner of unwanted hitchhikers. But the road to perfection is never smooth, as they encounter issues with the truck's rear leaf springs and air suspension, opting for a manual system as a temporary fix.
With the truck's cleanliness and mechanical quirks addressed, the team sets its sights on ensuring a smooth ride for the impending road trip. A visit to Superior Tire Service for an alignment proves to be a pivotal moment, setting the stage for a journey free of steering wheel woes. As they tinker with the front grill and window latching system, the team's ingenuity shines through, fashioning temporary solutions to keep things in place. With the truck now a symphony of fixes and upgrades, it stands ready to conquer the open road, a testament to the team's unwavering dedication and resourcefulness.
