    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    Ok. Sportsmobile has a great relationship with MB. somewhat obvious with all the 4wd sprinters here. They would understandably like to keep their outstanding relationship. Part of this relationship is that they are required to consult with MB with all of their modifications. MB does not want...

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    I remember that as well. But if that's what the customer wants why not? This leads me to think it might be something else. What the heck I am right here; I will ask and report back.

    2015 Sprinter 4x4 build begins

    It's a quality product no doubt and provides the stiffness required as well as passes all of the tests necessary to make this a top drawer professional installation. I was just wondering if the weight of this frame (and resulting higher cg) was possibly a factor as why it can't (or won't based...

    I am at Sportsmobile west today. I asked about how they stiffen the body after cutting the top off. He showed me the huge frame that makes up the pop top. He said it is robust to pass a vertical load crush test. That thing is crazy stout and CRAZY heavy steel and must way at least 200 lbs and...

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    Idk I think it will need a new name. It might be the same truck, but it will be quite different. This is way more than a makeover. There will be some fundamental changes. I am thinking you could call it Caitlyn.

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    We all watched the conception and birth of the NW edition. Now it's gone and were sad. It's kind of like one your friends breaking up with the cool chick we all liked. Now we don't get to see her anymore and we are all mad at him for doing it...

    Frame flex fundamental question

    So what is worse "on a FUSO" , the frame flexing as it was designed with loads under gvw or concentrated forces on the frame from a mounting system proving loading and flexing other than the designers intent. . The reason I ask is my box is mounted directly to the frame. There are about 155000...

    EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles

    Well if truth be told, in my eyes the EC website is reasonably more interesting and entertaining that say Unicat or GXV. Unicat does a good job of breaking out the different regions, however that being said, other than language I am not sure there is much different in their regions. But in all...
