Absolutely fantastic!

This is one of the most original and entertaining concepts I have seen in a while. Bravo to all involved. http://expeditionportal.com/pipe-dream/

It was about 15 years old and had notable corrosion. I gave it to a friend.

Wow! Awesome collection

It all depends. . . I have crossed continents with bigger tires than most rock crawlers. In reality, there is no such thing as an "overland" vehicle. If you want to drive a 40" tire trail rig to Panama, then go for it. I use all of my overland trucks for recreation rock crawling. It is a great...

Thanks guys!

Christophe has a point. If people placed the same care to their physical health as they do their 2nd Amendment Rights, we would really save some lives. I think the salient consideration is that we will all die from something, and it will most likely (statistically) not be from a violent crime...

This was one of the first test threads, started at the end of June 2005. The forum was only open to a few dozen people and I was working feverishly to figure VBulletin out. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/6-Expeditions-West-2004-Tacoma I have no idea why there was a kayak on my...

I want to thank all of our members for making this milestone possible. We would never have lasted a decade without your participation and support. I would also like to thank all of the moderators for their efforts. The moderators are nearly all volunteer and work hard to keep the forum family...

I have never experienced a reliability issue with them, even with serious abuse and technical riding. The 1150 in particular was known to go 100,000+ miles without major repairs. However, the new bikes are more complex than ever. So many electronics and sensors, etc. I broke a pentimometer on...

You and me both ;)

The Australian Army field reports were a big help in our reliability research. They had a gnarly alternator failure in the Simpson. Those trucks have dual alternators for the 12.24v circuits.

Some good news for those out east.

The 461 was the model we tested for the article. It also suffers extensive reliability issues, including wiring harness failures, turbo failures, alternator failures, etc. Unfortunately, the 461 is not immune from the crop of recent Mercedes failings.

Looks great. What a nice combo- simple and effective

Ignorant because he disagrees with you? Ignorance is a lack of knowledge. I can assure you that Christophe is knowledgeable on the subject, but makes a different personal choice than you do. Ignorance is assuming that because someone else acts or believes different then you, that they are...
