No recommendation, but congratulations on what is undoubtedly the trickest truck in Happy Valley. :)

Trev and the others have covered the important bases, but I'd just like to emphasize how ill-equipped a 416 is for North American highway use. Acceleration is glacial and its maximum speed in most configurations is under 55 mph (that's an issue of the redline of the engine). But even if you are...

:iagree: They'll be many of us eager to hear how the trip goes and how the truck makes out. By the way, if you ever need inspiration, or need reminded of how cool your truck is, the complete set of videos for the Expeditions West Arctic Ocean Expedition is on YouTube, starting here...

Yeah, I suppose that could work. ;)

Nautic Junior 12V water heater Back in January, wrote this: about this: So here's the promised report. Long-time thread followers know that I had to replace the EarthRoamer-supplied Isotemp water heater with a smaller unit, and through a combination of circumstances, I ended up replacing...

I know you're a man who doesn't like facts and data to stand in your way, but that comment is wrong and easily perceived as racist. Mexican auto workers average $26/day. Think about reining in your rants a bit. No harm will result from posting opinions that have more credibility.

Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to post all those great photos. Very much appreciated by those of us who couldn't attend.

A vote for the turtle, though nothing wrong with the original idea, either. Both are cool, and a good improvement over the stereotypical old map or compass rose.

The longer sleepers are generally made 90" wide, with options as wide as 100" or so. Seems likely that would be too wide for most overlanding uses. There's also a gaping hole in the front end to walk through to the cab. Perhaps a company like Indiana Custom Trucks or Double Eagle might build a...

Hmmm . . . neither can I. :( There was one of that graphic on the removable storage panel at the lower front of the cabin on each side (and a bunch of other vinyl transfers and similar), but I cleaned up the look about 2005 and seem to have almost no pictures between the ones from Germany in...

They guys who have it now for coffee purveying? http://motofishcoffee.com/ Or when it was an overlanding truck? http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/47866

Glad to see the thread back to life. Always love both the trailer and the photography. Thanks!

Oh, dear . . . I guess I can't use the XV-JP any more. There are paper towels stored not more than two feet from this cooktop, and, what's worse, the flames from the burner will obviously set the wood veneer behind it on fire. And I don't even have an appropriately labyrinthian water system...

Of course it is. ;) Let's see, where did I misplace those column buckling equations? I got this setup for the XV-JP. High quality kit, though I'm in no hurry to run into the problem that requires me to use it.

Very nice. The rapid speed of Mog campers seems to suggest a theme to their owners. This is the graphic from CamperMog:

Odd of you to choose this truck, since there are currently several better targets. Though that would be irrelevant, given the ExPo Forum Rules: No Harassment in the FOR SALE Section It is simple. Something is worth what someone else will pay for it. To dump on someone's For Sale thread because...

That's a very generous offer, Clint. Nice of you to go to the trouble, and I'm sure it'll be a big help for many. :bowdown:

I'm a big fan of cassette toilets and have had many, and I didn't mean that Wag bags were superior to them or Porti-Pottis. But since they're emptied into sewer or septic systems, I wasn't thinking of them as a true wilderness waste system. Plus they're kind of tough to use backpacking...

It's not exactly "human excrement" any more. The trick to the bags, and the reason they cost what they do, is that the "Poo Powder" absorbent surrounds the waste and encapsulates it into a gel, and then there's a catalyst that helps it decay and become non-contaminating, and more stuff to keep...

Yeah, what he said; I had a close call with my Mog importation into Tacoma. As if there weren't enough governmental agencies involved, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to prevent importing dangerous pests with your vehicle, wants a "thoroughly cleaned" undercarriage, which means you best have...
