    I'm not talking "Kommando Spezialkräfte", but pretty darn close, how would you build your next RIG?

    I actually looked for an Airstream or Avion truck camper but decent ones are expensive. The other thing is I'm up here where there are trees, and I need something that can take a branch or two and not dent. I do have a 24' U haul box, FRP, that I've also thought about using after shortening it...

    I'm not talking "Kommando Spezialkräfte", but pretty darn close, how would you build your next RIG?

    Yep, that's why I got a 07 International 4300 frame. It was under a 24 foot or so reefer box so it has plenty of nice straight frame rail to play with. I'll switch the cab over to it. The stock Loadstar frame would have to be lengthened and it would be lots of work to fit everything on it.

    Here's the start. Hopefully have a bunch to add this next spring and summer. Tent camping has lost its appeal now that my wife and I are over 50. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/forest-service-crew-buggy-body.225567/

    Three days and two nights along the Clearwater River

    That's some beautiful country down there. I've spent a little time for work down around Orofino and Kamiah, it was off the main roads with a company putting fiber in. I need to get back there for sightseeing instead of work.

    1941 Power Wagon Cummins $270k

    Yep, needs to be OD or a primary color. Plus all the old PWs I've ever seen have a few battle scars which they wore proudly, to see one this perfect just doesn't seem like it's right.

    Sale Pending: 6x6 Command Vehicle, Camper or Bug-out vehicle

    As PNW Yetti said this could be very lucrative on fires. It's a pain jumping through all the hoops but once done you could make bank if there is a busy fire season. Usually the .gov takes care of all damage done while on the fire. I've known a few guys who started with just a small piece of...

    After 15 years of design and fabrication, time to downsize

    I'm just starting this process. Over vacation in July I realized I have too many projects and since I'm a truck mobile mechanic I don't feel like wrenching on my stuff after a 60+ hour week. I'll keep a few but decided to start cutting loose, of course it took me decades to get to where I am so...

    International Hot Shot truck, DT466 - Southern Oregon, $11k, (Craigslist)

    This is a good truck, blue DT which is pre emissions and relatively simple to work on. Has a locker in the rear and is a manual trans with hydraulic brakes. Good drive tires and you'd be amazed where this will go and the rear compartment handles crashes very well. Be a nice starter rig for...

    2023 Wanderbox F600 Based 4x4 Whale RV

    Don't take it in the soft stuff. Wonder how close to GVW and rear axle weight this is pushing. Has to be close to being right at capacity or maybe a bit over.
