Two points for you. The first is Old Diminion should be avoid like the plague when it comes to shipping anything fragile. They are one of the less expensive shippers, but you get what you pay for. The second point, reading your original post it sounds like the topper was not crated, rather it...

Try Plascore they are a good US company to work with.

I’m not sure about your reply, I can’t think of an expedition build that does not include parts and or components that are made in China or overseas . I don’t think there is a vehicle made that doesn’t include parts and components made in China or overseas. Then you have the question of what...

Great news from Mike this morning. It seems the Overland community pulled together and help sort out the issues. ”We had a some great news today. The issue is in the internal connections of the fuse block. After lots of testing we discovered that the connection on the circuit board was broken...

I think that something along those lines are planned. They can always put an inline fuse on the circuit that they bypass. I haven’t had an update today from Mike, he must be reading the electrical manual, taking things apart, and wishing he had paid more attention in his high school physics...

Currently Mike has diagnosed the problem as a bad fuse box. They have a work around to get the truck to running, but a new fuse box is the answer.

Latest update: Well the relay and fuse box is a little corroded. We suspect that the power train relay is not sending power to the throttle position sensor. When we do a work around with power to that fuse the engine runs. There is something broken in the fuse block since it’s not the...

I’ll keep everyone update. It looks like Mike pulled the relay and fuse box today to test it and look for issues like corrosion or bad connections. A member sent me the electrical manual for his vehicle that I have passed on to Mike, he is very grateful for everyone’s assistance. If he needs...

Here is the news from Mike. We are located in ”Dois Irmaos. Near Novo Hamburgo. We got it started today. Not the switch. We had to jump power from fuse 12 to fuse 5 which is for the THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. Ran reallly rough. It did idle. We also now have a code U0100 (Code U0100 stands...

I’ll ask Mike and let you know where the vehicle is.

Thank you for all of your assistance so far. I’m passing it all on to Mike. I know that having this help from afar is definitely lifting his spirits.

My friend Mike is waiting for a mechanic with a scanner that can work with his GMC. He has started work on cleaning all the grounds, and he is testing the voltage in and out of the relays. We are currently focusing on the electronic part of the ignition switch, we are working on getting the...

Posting for a good friend of mine who has broken down in Brazil. He is trying to get the truck onto a boat back to the US but it has broken down. we are looking for some sound ideas or suggestions on troubleshooting this issue so he can make the boat. This is the message he sent to me...

Whitefeather had issues in the past with their 4x4 conversions as they had not perfected the Ford axles they use with the Mercedes ABS system. They should have use a new Tone Ring to get the set up right. The result was very unnerving as any sway of the vehicle resulted in the vehicle applying...

An unfortunate incident for sure. I’ve been involved in the Overland industry in North America since 2001 and I have met a lot of people on the trail, at shows, and those who came to my shop over the years. Our community does not reflect the population of the US as we are primarily white...

I’m not a big fan of this brand. We had one produce such hot water that it ruptured the PEX hot waterline spitting hot water everywhere. It was a new unit with a week or so use on it. The company was very difficult to deal with and it took them a while to come around to the idea I didn’t feel...

I sold my shares in AT Overland at the beginning of the year, you will have to give them a call.

Build the trailing arms as strongly as you can as they take a lot of abuse off road. If you go with airbags make the upper mounts from 1/4” steel. If you go with coils adjust them for the load, if you don’t the results are not pretty. Do not link the airbags together, keep them independent. Do...

Thank you for your kind words. It’s been a long and fun road, when we started in 2002 there were very few players. Scott Brady had started an online presence with Expeditions West, Autohome tents were in place, Safari Trailers were around and so was 4x4 Trailers out of Las Vegas, but that was...
