    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    Admittedly, I don't know "squat" about mainland west Mexico above Nayarit! I learned from people that were much older and wiser than my punkass self in the late 70's to "waste no time" driving north for the border, keep your head down, and speed up for the border ASAP! OKAY! I give up and am...

    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    I believe I could "paint" a close to perfect scenario of what happened, and who the "players" were/ are (victims, the perps, the "locals", the local cops, and the "Judi's" ( Federal Police)! AND that it will not bring the 3 healthy young men back to life! I had intimated in my past posts that...

    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    Disclaimer: After being banned once, then threatened to be "perma-banned" 2 more times after that... I have learned to not just go out and express my true feeling here on ExPo anymore! That said, I got the feeling from your first postings here on this site that you were "pretty much" a person...

    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    That is the funniest stuff I've heard in months! It is tough for most of us Gringo's to understand how "Baja" works! The first thing that those who desire to get "the lay of the land", is to have to grasp of what main land Mexico's term for the Baja peninsula is... "LA FRONTERA"! The "wild...

    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    This is my reply to Graeme Bell's story: The cartel's (plural) will most likely murder the suspects whole families (the very youngest first so the elders, friends, and neighbors learn the cost of not teaching their children how to behave) The last thing these groups desire is bringing attention...

    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    For surfers/ campers/ Baja explorers "in the know"... Anywhere along the coast between the border and El Rosario de Arriba has been considered "no mans land" for remote camping since the late 80's! Almost every Baja "horror story" has happened in that stretch! If you have to remote camp in...

    PRICE REDUCED! $135k Custom 4x4 Freightliner Overlander

    Impressive truck! A couple of questions ( I am just curious, not interested in buying)... Did you do any pump/ turbo work on the Cummins C motor? Is the Allison transmission a later electronic controlled model or a MT653? Is the truck set up to pull a lightering TOAD? Is the truck set up to...

    Packaged Financing question.

    Thank for replying even though I deleted my post because I gathered as much. I have acquaintances with people in the RV industry and know that Covid was their "gold rush" and now the are sitting on a "lot of paper"! I just learned last week that if they have an RV in inventory for more than a...

    12 Valve adventure rigs?

    Say what??? Can you repeat yourself? Between surfing and owning a machine shop my whole adult life..."That boat had sailed" long before me getting the 6B! :ROFLMAO:

    12 Valve adventure rigs?

    I remotored my big camper ( Casa Azul) with a Cummins 6BTAA out of a wrecked '97 Dodge truck ( it only had < 60k miles on it). I did some mild pump modifications , #10 fuel plate, 3200 RPM springs ( to match the shift valving of the Allison MT653), and some "hocus pocus" that my local "pump...

    2007 4x4 Kodiak 5500, 6k miles. ultimate camper

    Oh gosh Mog... All this time I thought your big camper had an automated stripper pole as well. Seeing as how your stripper pole is "hand crank" deployed, you have lost all your cool factor in my eyes! :ROFLMAO:

    Going from prototype to full production must not be easy for new Integrated Overland Campers

    If you have the "guts"... Go onto Search Tempest and search for sale, Mercedes Sprinter! Then when you click the region, click "by owner". This is the REAL "writing on the wall"!

    Going from prototype to full production must not be easy for new Integrated Overland Campers

    I like to use the analogy: The snap of the whip! In the design and development of mechanical "things", the time between putting your concept "out there" for attracting interested buyers ( the swing of the whip handle) and the pick up of enough velocity for the tip to snap ( having a "sellable"...

    Unimog demand

    Unimogs are "road tractors"! Building one into an "adventure camper rig" is ridiculous for about 98.5% of us "overlanders" out there (Charlie A. has the experience and means to be that 1.5%!). When it comes to understanding the "perfect" rig for your adventures... There are many "skins to that...
