An Overland Hadley approval was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Hmmm....... is this maybe an omen or sign of things to come to your stable Mike?

lol Does that mean it looks better? I personnaly dont care what it look like outside, it never was going to be a thing of beauty and I succeeded in that:) but would like a bit of input on this. I thought my westy looked nice:ylsmoke: obviously I have no taste!

What is this hard top you are referring to? A hard rising top without the soft sides or permanent raised roof? Some nice concepts in the overall design in this rig, I do like the drawer fridge idea, let us know how you find that, also like the toilet situation in there, hidden away when not...

This thread got my attention as I was in the same boat five or six years ago, and that was looking for a 4x4 sprinter! I looked and called everyone I could including a company in Germany for a conversion and Sportmobile and ended up getting nowhere and very frustrated, I also thought I could...

Put the truck back on the road and took it out for a boot, everything seemed to function properly for a while. My wife thinks that the roof rack makes the camper look very different, less boxey and some nicer lines to it...... here's a phone pic to see for yourself. After driving...

That would be a cool trip but plan to be sailing into wind for the majority of the way, looking at your video looks like you can get pretty close into the wind there, I have sailed most of the way and either there was no wind for sailing or the winds were from the north west.... in the...

But it does look like ATW did a coil over mod on this and wasn't it on here not long ago? this is really loaded with stuff, interesting to see what they get for it. John I am sure you posted about these guys, what is the deal with the roof, looks like it can go lower but I dont think it does??

For some reason I dont see those as totally viable for the type of terrain that I may be on, they can't be aired down for sand or rougher surfaces and look like you could lose traction due to not really 'giving' much, probably have to have two sets, one for roads and one for off roads. No...

Hi John, Ah too bad about that, I thought your boss was giving you a big bonus, but I guess you will be borrowing it for the odd trip no? Can you elaborate on the allison tranny, what is the reason for this? I see this truck is getting "ALL" the good items in it so will be used as a demo, I...

Nice report, its not about getting there its about the trip! I agree, slow down and smell the roses.

Howard as others have stated the pricing is difficult to post but you may be able to get ball park figures on items that you feel the most needed, many mods that you stated are not "mandatory" just what the individual wanted or felt was more important. It is a personal decision and not a group...

Thats a cool little meter, would be useful to have one in general, thanks for the link!

This will be a nice truck, I like the single cabs and this one having the coil over will be a nice set up! When you say " our FUSO will be next completed"..............who is our? You personally or ATW? :) That is some extreme departure angle too! good work guys!

The unisolar panels were a good deal when I bought them, delivered ended up around $130 each, to be able to use those you need an MPPT controller. You can still use a 24 volt panel as long as you use an MPPT controller, they are just so big. ATW = All Terraine Warriors from Oz and I believe...

Thanks Hdemetrious for reminding me about this I forgot. The wiring diagram was meant for four 12 volt batteries and I am using four six volt batteries, so the way it was wired up was indicating the voltage of four very well charged six volt batteries. There is only one way that I know of to...

Yup, I just power up individual items and note the draw, obviously making sure that the monitor reads "0" before powering up and you must not have power going in either so no chargers or solar working. I am using this...

I think I posted earlier about not asking about the two types of panels:) But since you asked and there is nowhere for me to hide: I had bought the stick on panels quite a while back and since purchasing them Unisolar went bankrupt. needing more wattage I decided to go the conventional route...

Last year I hit a pile of dirt hiding a concrete manhole with my front left tire/rim and some dirt had gotten into the bead and as a result a slow leak developed into a fast one. The truck is not insured for the road so I took the tire/rim in for repairs. The guy at Kal Tire lifted the thing...

Man this thing keeps coming back every year! Has been for sale for three or four years and gets posted up every year! Someone buy this thing! If I was starting again I would look hard at this truck but the price needs to come down a bit more yet but its getting close to what a guy might put...
