It's good to have that booster, and it's also good to have Verizon service, which seems to consistently get more rural Oregon spots than others. And the two Wilson boosters I have in my rigs are often valuable. One thing I've learned, though, is when you use the Wilson booster, there has to be...

I don't think I agree, my friend. The Wescotts are not just world explorers; they are writers extensively published in popular magazines with large readerships. The US four wheel magazines they write for have a circulation many times greater than the entire membership of ExPo. And they have...

I'm gonna be waiting to hear how this one turns out. Potentially a very cool piece of information. And congratulations, Rockymountainrovers. That is a very handsome truck; thanks for the photos.

I believe Stahl will still sell you the 1-ton payload Challenger TR trailer, which is pretty much their Challenger service body put onto a trailer chassis. It has a 4 x 8 bed, but also plenty of side compartment space for systems and stuff. You obviously need to configure it to your own...

Current Mog pricing certainly reflects better economic times. It wasn't too long ago that 10K would have bought you the about the best 404 around and $6K would have got you a decent runner. For those that don't know, here: http://www.unimog.net/exchange/ is the about the only place to go to...

It certainly couldn't be replicated for anything close to twice the price. This would be a stellar truck for anyone, but it is one of just a handful of expedition trucks that you could live out of for weeks without hardship, so for the few people who actually could go on an extensive expedition...

I think she's OK. I had a lot of negativity when I first heard about the plan, but Motofish has a big investment in her, which they're likely to protect. And she's up and running most every day, which you can't say for many near-40-year-old 416s. And she's got here own tee-shirt. :) So I'm now...

I looked into the marine windows and came away with the feeling that while I could live with condensation, I would have problems justifying the the cost. Most all of the windows are custom-made and anything with "marine" in the title seems to include a considerable premium. Here's a scary...

I watched the long video again tonight, and realize that in the staged part where he parks so close to the red Land Rover that he has to crawl out . . . if it'd been any other Mog, or almost any other vehicle with a roof, for that matter, he'd have been trapped inside. The Mog's sliding doors...

Thanks for the effort. Maybe I can pick up something at MogFest this August.

Thanks once again. I'm finding your construction very interesting and I'm enjoying watching your cabin being built.

Sounds like we're all gung-ho for these. But be sure to believe the people telling you to drill the correct size of hole. For example, 1/4-20 rivserts call for a 25/64" hole, and it takes a pretty extensive collection of bits to just happen to have that size sitting around. But trying to use one...

If you do, send regards from the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, I've been noticing that my friends are looking a lot older. :sombrero:

Is it the case that Uro-Camper will not export an Xplora to the United States? Shipping would be expensive (though it looks like container shipping would work) and there's be the issue of changing the electrical, but I'm not seeing a huge problem. Tribu went to the effort to post a lot of...

Sprinter delivery times have always been an issue. The vans are built in Germany, and then disassembled to avoid a 25% import duty on completed trucks, put on ships and sent to Ladson, South Carolina, to be reassembled. So that takes a good long while. (MBz is planning on building a South...

Can you post a link for whatever you read? With the low number of US Transits on the road so far, it's not been easy to find empirical information I could, however, find a year-old link showing the Transit to be the UK's most reliable van, while the Sprinter had fallen to seventh, which is...

I was just being flip yesterday, but I was nevertheless halfway thinking about it last night and concluded that they're not going to use a Wrangler again, a la XV-JP; I'll bet they use a Ford. Here's my reasoning . . . They already have the incomplete vehicle thing all nailed down with Ford...

Just asking, but can you have a collector vehicle that they're still making for sale to anyone with the funds? Alternately, can anyone think of any expedition truck they've made MORE of than the XV-LT? :sombrero: A handsome rig, but note the early serial number (though you've got to figure it's...

"Swails hinted that a smaller, much more affordable EarthRoamer may be on the horizon for the masses who aspire to weekends away in a do-all, off-road RV." Jeez, and it went so well last time. :sombrero: Sure hope it doesn't end up looking like my redesign. I'd be grumpy about that.

A very nice truck and it sure looks like you can have the space you want. Best wishes for the build and the trip.
