OK 1/2 year delayed - just saw your post. I have an EXCAP 12M18 (still in Germany) .

You have to be in higher RPM range to feel the full effect. Between 900 - 1500 you can hear it - but its almost without effect. From 2000 RPM upwards it is working perfectly. Just have to be in the correct gear - used it a lot on Icelandic steep downhill slopes and don't want to miss it -...

We just got back from a two months Iceland trip in our STEYR 12m18 with stop-over on the Faroe Islands. Drove 6,500 KM on Iceland alone - 60 % on piste and off-road - not counting trips from Germany to the ferry port of Hirthals, DK and back... 60 % on piste and off-road. Iceland is just the...

Congrats to the STEYR !! Great buy - I saw the truck at Stefan's place - and sorry for the late reply. Just got back from an Iceland trip with my STEYR, thats why I haven't looked at the Forum for ages and am surprised about all he STEYR messages... I live in the SF bay area and we should...

Most Thrilling story on the forum - can't wait for a book about your trip coming out...

Finally released our 'Guhonda' (STEYR 12M18 Truck) into his natural habitat - the moroccan desert. You can see pictures and read more about our Morocco Offroad trip in our blog: http://exd.earth/morocco-offroad-expedition/ Here is a short video clip: https://youtu.be/tp0T3TGMmrM

Hi - have you ever decided on a TPMS? Thinking of getting one for my STEYR 12m18 and are concerned about: - reception quality from rear tires (most are designed for smaller cars) - size of the valve screw-on parts ( do they stick out and eventually get caught by something and rip of the valve) -...

Sorry :cow:- just back to the forum after being 'offline' for a while... To answer some of the last questions: - EXCAP STEYR: The base price for the EXCAP STEYR was around EURO 58K when I bought it in 2015 (this was bare bones without additional EXCAP options). I bought the EXCAP demo truck...

It's getting there...final work on custom motorbike rack, leaf springs - will hopefully be finished soon. Plan to pick it up in April. Sorry I am slacking on my blog updates. :ylsmoke: Promise to add more info and pics soon.

Thank you! - can't wait

I wish mine would be ready - still takes some time. The truck on Facebook is the EXCAP demo truck that they just completed and dropped back at EXCAP. On the way back they drove my truck to the Ukraine where 'he' gets married with the cabin that is almost ready. My truck does not have the edge on...

Thanks for the reply - I see the commonality - Cabeza de vaca - YellowCow :) :sombrero:

Hi - sorry - did not look at the portal for a while. I gave up the FUSO idea for a couple of reasons: 1. I want to carry a motorbike and realistically the truck would probably be overloaded when doing a bike rack on the back 2. Do not like the new LowSulfor Diesel engines 3. The plan I had to...

OK – it’s time to ‘come out of the closet’ and after being a long-term silent listener it’s time to give back to the forum and share some thoughts about my journey and decision process for buying a custom built Expedition truck. The idea was born 5 years ago in the Atacama desert, when...

Inspiring Read Got lost on the portal and somehow got to your trip report. Excellent story - I worked for a mining company in DRC as an IT contractor for a short time, travelled around the globe and read a lot of books about DRC - the current 'vibe' and feeling in the DRC is very special and...
