Yeah, it’s starting to take shape thought / discussion wise. Be the usual question of does he “stay with simple, use then mod as needed “ Or “ over engineer / scope creep / partners needs incorporated / got a bargain on this so now I can do this…” Time will tell.

@Todd n Natalie, Someone’s been (stalking?) thinking the same thoughts, he just started so you you’ll have to be patient… https://advrider.com/f/threads/building-a-30-year-old-box-van-toy-hauler.1725421/

@Irnieracing , I’ll answer for the OP, my wife and I went to see the set up and spent time with the owners. It’s located and registered in Reno, Nevada. He went through all the hoops to import then register in it the US. Excellent seller who was magnanimous with his time, very knowledgeable...

You nailed it, knowing what I now know, what you’ve going on there is extremely functional. Yeah the struggle for “time to do” is completely understandable, there’s always something. Thanks for sharing that photo.

That is excellent, removable headache rack?

Sent you a DM.

That’s our current set up and your right about options, though since we got our box, the box options have improved and some have even dragged themselves into the modern age. We’ve got at minimum two years poking our nose into places we just fit (yes chainsaw) then we’ll try transitioning to...

… chassis cab only and must be brought / supplied by AEV. I liked the idea of the biggest little truck (3500) with a hard side box as we already have the truck and it’s the next step in the compromise. Would I like a new truck? Sure, but then I’m back to square one with...

Come on, tell them!

@Todd n Natalie, Based on that intended use I’d be looking at just the Norden. The second hand market bikes will more than likely come with heated grips, bash plate and luggage solutions. I test road a 890 R back to back with a 701 LR, went 701 for intended purpose. If I was commuting...

Sweet mother of insanity!!! I have had some crazy ideas but thats Chuck Norris level!

Yep what @nickw said plus… 901 Specific thread here… takes you too the end https://advrider.com/f/threads/husqvarna-norden-901.1414087/page-128 The 901 Expedition is more like the 890 R but slightly less focused , the regular Norden is more in between regular 890 S … Get me to the Dirt via...
