I forgot about reading Jim Rogers trip in his neatly modified Mercedes, till "DesertDouglas" said "It's like deciding that a Porsche would be the perfect expedition vehicle"
Anyway.......... here is a link to ones guys idea of roughin it in a Mercedes 230/G Wagon.

I've seen while "traveling through" a lot of European web sites on LR's, that a quite a few bob their Rovers's. This site shows not only shows how he did it, but some nice concept pic's.

So check out this idea for a Jeep. You first have to do the cab/box conversion but then you are on your way. What do you think.

Here's a site that always has some 4x4 vans for sale. Right now thwere is a super clean unit for sale out of Idaho.. Little high on the mileage, but very clean.

So you want your Toyota, where you can camp out of the back. Or you can just hop up top and blast off a few rounds, or quit down the noisey group a couple of camp sites over. Then the Nimer 2 might be for you. Comes in desest tan and diesel. Be sure to check out "demo vid's" too funny...
I'm thinking I may have got this site link off of "Colorado Ron". So if I did credit to him. But how do you search "Toyota" on the forum to see if it's been posted before. MY wife is saying "get to work", got to go, so check it out.

I don't have OziExplorer (though I hope to soon) so in my reading, found this web site. He seems to explain the process that those like me will find easy to understand when the day comes.
I did a search here on the forum and didn't find anything on these. They sound pretty good and look nice once set up, and the price isn't to bad. It wouldn't cost to much to have one sent over either I bet.

According to this fellows site he spent a year building his own truck, then off he went. So now it's for sale. I think he sure did a nice job of it all, have a look.

These Alpacka Pack Rafts look like a fun item one could "pack" along for some water fun, and with the largest model less then 5 pounds, it's light to boot. Check it out......http://www.foldingkayak.com/index.html
I'm sure most have seen what these guys are up to, but if you haven't here's a lin to thier web site, and they do ship kits if you want.

Here's a VW expedition unit camper out of Germany some guy made up. Kind of neat, that the only 2 pic's it showed (credit to

Here's a link to Arab American Vehicles. http://www.aav.com.eg/JeepTJL.htm I love the the cab they have built for the back of the Jeep, makes it look like an old ambulance unit. Wouldn't mind the diesel that goes with it also.
So my wish is to be able to take some great pics as seen in these galleries, but I don't think that will happen, so I just have to go lookin at everyone else's good work. There are some great outback pictures here. There are some good pics in "Misc. Library" showing trailers and truck setups...
