We carry an extension panel that attaches to the awning case and can be staked to the ground to give shade when the sun is low... Our awning is 5m long which gives a lot more room under the awning. Works good in the rain also to give a dry area next to the truck...

But I don’t think they are being tight lipped about what they are doing at all, being pretty open and clear in my view...

Earthcruiser has been pretty public about all the components used in their 4wd conversion but some of these parts may be specialized for them and not be readily available. Dynatrak axles, Method wheels, ARB lockers, Hero transfer case, and the shocks are public but I don’t recall the brand. They...

Looks like it have been a one time prototype build to prove the concept. Don’t see any info on the company that did the build for that vehicle, only smaller ones.. Design house that did the design https://www.formpflug.de/work_MAN%20carbon%20world%20cruiser%20praxistest.html Manufacturer of...

I will let dfs9 respond with his assessment but when we were looking for an expedition truck at GXV we were planning to get a UXV model and went there to look at one that had just been completed but not delivered. Comparing it to a Turtle like this one will see two major differences, size and...

Did you use the steps off of one of these step ladders for those steps? I have seen these step ladders under various brands in the US and Europe used several times as expedition truck steps... http://xtendandclimb.com/products/step-stools/contractor-series.html

I couldn’t find it advertised here at that price... This thread is getting pretty far off track but it has verified that the asking price of this 2018 is very fair...

A 2012 Turtle for $140k is likely a reasonable price if it has systems which would be pretty dated compared to the2018 one for sale in this thread. AGM vs Lithium for instance...

Probably more comparable was when it was for sale nearly new for a much higher price... https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2012-gxv-turtle-for-sale.118286/

Not often we use it but we also have an Onan 6000 watt Quiet Diesel as our final source of power when needed. Not many small diesel generators seem to be available but I recall that Onan might be doing one again and there is a 3000 watt one used under Sprinters.

Some designs locate the lithium batteries in the heated area of the cabin or if they are in area where they could freeze you could use electric heating pads to keep the lithium cells from freezing and these heating pads don’t use much power when they are underneath the battery or integrated...

The temperature specs on the Mastervolt lithium batteries are not simple as you can see from the manual.... https://images.mastervolt.nl/files/10000015396_11_manualMLIUltra27505500_EN.pdf

Took the Dempster last year and then on up to Tuk and back. The road has some bad spots in the Yukon but gets better in the NWT. New road from Inuvik to Tuk is fine when dry but pretty slick when wet. Didn’t find any sections that were especially bad just some potholes, washboard, and rocks. If...

The move to someplace warmer is also our usual approach to dealing with cold and snow but our daughter had a baby in BC in January so we have been here for awhile. :)

Not necessarily actively heated... The answers to all the issues of cold weather capabilities are dependent on the specific truck. GXV is not building a standard design as you would get from EarthCruiser (for instance) where each truck is designed with specific cold weather capabilities. While...

I don’t know about the Method wheels... There are pictures on their Facebook and Instagram feeds of the front and rear Dynatrac axles which may show you what you want in terms of their configuration...

They will have to confirm it is but my understanding is that they are a approved by Fuso for the 4wd modifications and the warranties for all the standard Fuso components are still in place. The new components added by EC may only be warrantied by the manufacturers (Dynatrac, etc.).

The 4wd conversion for the new 2020 gasoline models replaces the Fuso supplied front and rear axles with Dynatrac front and rear axles along with suspension and brake changes, not sure the standard GAWR numbers still apply??

Even with a price not much lower than a new one you can avoid the delay required to get a new one. Assuming it is close to what you want in terms of configuration you can start using it now.
