Just to refocused your attention my original comment was made to the OP who has a giant camper shell shoved in the back of his lifted and moded jeep. By my reckoning he is showing a full size use case on a undersized truck. Lets not fool ourselves into thinking the OP will be running the rubicon with that house hanging off the back.

But since you just want to brag about pulling a uhaul trailer full of lumber and a half full water buffalo on flat ground, then running the rubicon, I'll let you have your glory.

"Flat" from 100' above sea level to over 6k feet? Half full water buffalos don't weigh 6k pounds, but full ones do and I'm certainly not making multiple trips with a rented 500 gallon water buffalo to fill our 500 gallon tank. Sorry I use MY actual pictures of real use not Google photos of how other people use "real" trucks (even though you clearly don't which is why they aren't your photos). The only picture I took of the water buffalo was while filling it so no it wasn't full in the picture. The only person making assumptions about the OPs use is you. Maybe he's doing a cross country roadtrip with the camper, staging at loon lake (the camper has legs for a reason), and then running the rubicon? At least he COULD still do that vs the Google images you posted? Again only slower, the JT is capable of doing real truck stuff AND real off roading unlike anything else on the market. Would a 3500 haul the camper better? Obviously. Some of us use our trucks for both vs buying a fleet of specific use vehicles.

Samething the experts said when I put the COMPOSITE camper on the ZR2 four years and over 22,000 miles ago.

Welding in some rear frame box plates is cheap insurance if nothing else. There's a whole lot of weight cantilevered off the back of that thing.

Yes and a design in the frame to purposefully allow it to bend down . He may be okay with it flat in the bed , maybe its ultra light

Thanks for letting me know about my setup, wasn't aware I had a detailed build thread posted that allows you to make those determinations...

If you think a built v8 stuffed in a small engine Bay with a even smaller cooling stack will be generating low BTUs hauling a house in the back you sir are likely delusional.

If you think those pictures in my post are my trucks, you would be wrong, never said they were, those are just examples of a better pairing of use cases.

I have eyes and can see how large that vehicle is.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you can't squeeze 10 pounds of poo into a 5 pound bag.

Just sayin...

I don't mind the AMW Jeep swaps

Their prices seem a bit obscene but people apparently pay them, so.....

Any inside pics of camper?

I just checked out the YouTube video, very nice.

New engine, transmission, and all the accessories, installed and warrantied for 2 years while being far cheaper than buying a new truck? No I'll never be one of those powertrain swap a brand new truck guys. However once the v6 dies (hopefully we'll past 100k miles), I'd rather spend the money a replacement truck would cost making my powertrain brand new and gaining 200hp. That gives me a far better truck than a new replacement that's already lifted and modified the way I want. If they offer a v8 from the factory by then, a trade in may make more sense. I don't want another brand new truck that should have ~100hp more than the factory offers.

Yes indeed, I am already saving up for mine.

I get it....

You're the kinda guy that rips into a guy in a 17' Boston Whaler because he can't do what the guys in the dual jet engine cigarette boats can do, right ?

Y'know, "get a REAL boat and do REAL boat stuff".....

I gotcha.
