Sounds like favorites, is this turning into a Ford vs. Chevy thread? My F150 rides like a Cadilac on pavement, oh, wait, that's where 97% of the miles on it have been. "Off road" is a pretty non-descript term, is that on a dirt trail, a rocky canyon, grassy field, pasture, utility trail in...

How tall was it, it looks like it's only about 6' high by the foot print in the mud to the lower left of it. Looks like it could be put back fairly easy......

This reminds me of the Corvair, I suggest you call Ralph Nader about suspension issues.

A used F-150, 2020 or newer, V-8 5.0!!! In CO get 4x4, I think it snows there and they have some hills.

Suggestion: Saying professional installation puts the brakes on for some buyers I'm sure, I can see some ripoff RV dealer charging $300.00+ to put it on. Devise a cover that fits over an existing RV window to provide the inlet for your box. Also, fabricate an adapter so you can mount the box...

Sounds like a good time to move into a real tent camper, ask your wife if she'd like something she could use the potties in, ask about having heat, even air conditioning. :)

Any canvas shop that provides covers and camper enclosures for boats can probably knock that out pretty easy.

Very cool, should be nice. I'd start with a truck like that, rig up an air bag system for the mounts and beef up an existing travel trailer and plant that on the back. But that would be much cheaper than what tis build will end up being. :)

@BritKLR Ahhhh, the MGA 1600, love that roadster, I think Carol Shelby stole the basic design for his masterpiece. Nice TR 6, mine was green, yellow TR4A, my Bug eye was orange, a red Miata, etc. etc. Best drives have to include Eurika Springs to Branson!

What, you don't like Rambo?

Well, that flamethrower is claimed to shoot 25 feet, not 35', and that's probably at full charge lasting a few seconds. Looks like you might make one using the ignitor off a butane torch and a fire extinguisher, but I'd add some Dawn dish soap to my fuel mix just to give it some "stickey". I...

Just remember to mount the panels on top of the kayaks if you expect to charge during transport.

It's eligible for antique car tags too!

I checked Harbor Freight, Granger and Amazon, no flame thrower available. Just where do you get one for $300? And if it is a DIY thing, please provide instructions. As far as a handgun, I'll use my 9mm, 15 shot, so 3 bad guys shouldn't be much work. I don't speak "Mexican" Spanish, all I can...

Can't help but thinking $15,000.00 would be more in line, but then I can't see all the modifications. Not picking on this vehicle, but seems people think they can add $5,000 in equipment to a vehicle and ask $6,000, and after the dusts settles, such DIY add-ons might bring a $1000. :)

Odd, EC is a sponsor on EP so it's not like they never look at this site, yet not a mention, a word about anything, but, I'm sure their attorney told them to run and hide and let us fend off claims. Speculations gone wild. The reason for any bankruptcy is financial as the bottom line. Even the...

Gotta put a rack/basket on the roof so everyone at intersections and stoplights knows you're a bonafide overlander. The rest can just stay stock, maybe some tires, but no lift. :)

Try the Chamber of Commerce, police departments for the areas of interest, make some phone calls to locals that provide social services since they usually know areas of need and dysfunction. You Mexican/Spanish must be excellent. Now, back to the Mexican killing field stories.

And we all know you can't teach an old dog new tricks, especially stupid ones!

I built boxes out of aluminum sheets, don't recall the grade, but I used a brake press to bend flanges on the sheets and bolted them together......back in the day engineering, next, how sturdy do you need these cabinets? I also used plastic boxes in a plastic rack, then there are plastic drawer...
