I agree with you guys. I cannot keep the constantly-evolving model names straight, the changes and conflicting information and all, it's exhausting. All of these different cabins they're offerings are awesome, but they need a clear and definitive naming system IMHO, beyond SW(SoftWall) or...

Who says the HC-R(Removable) doesn't come with gas or diesel air heater, and Hydronic? I have seen the HC-R price sheet via my dealer, but unfortunately it says "See spec sheet for description of standard" and by that I assume they mean the spec sheet in the link above (ie Download on the site)...

Looking good, very hidden. I chuckled at your comment about having to remove 90% of unneeded parts to get to the part you need to access. Ze German engineers aren't so friendly in this dept; they have no forethought as to how someone will service the vehicle. Pisses us off every day to no end.

Rad, looking awesome. Congrats!! Cute pup looks comfy!

Today I explored and sat in a brand new '23 Hudson Bay (HB-SoftWall/SW) 6.75' at my local OEV dealer. Until now I haven't had an hour to fully inspect and just relax in it and take it all in. My quick feedback as to PROS and CONS in my opinion. PROS; -Build quality is by far the best I've seen...

I thought early articles, found here on ExPo, stated that EC/CORE were using Dynatrac axles? Who is Fusion? Never heard of them. Still using Hero t-cases? Available diff lockers front and rear? Any advantage to an NPR vs the LCF? Just aesthetics for grille/badging/etc?

I don't see how the BC can be on a 350/3500, if these weight keep increasing like they are. Anyone know the GVW of some of the BC's that have been finished already? Unsure on HBE HW 8'. Anyone heard anything about this? N/S bed, 16" longer cabover, 2 powdercoated aluminum storage bins; ~$9k...

Also pasted my post from the HBE SW thread; Just spied the new OEV HighCountry pricing...gazooks! Sweet rig, and it looks awesome Photoshopped on my truck, but how are they gonna sell any of these when it appears to be a larger HBE HW or a smaller Summit without subframe/boxes? And as stated...

The way I read it is that he purchased a Hallmark camper, had a faucet leak in a difficult-to-service/no-user-parts-available sink assembly, wants Hallmark to fix other items as well, so he's willing to drive 1000mi for work at the original manufacturer; maybe he likes to drive and wanted to...

Agreed with you both; VAG prepped these for a front locker, but never implemented in production rigs. That's all I was saying. Can do the Harrop/Eaton from VW. Sven at Sktec is the man for the OEM rear locker setup. LMK if you need his info. When you needed your rear locker RAMthang, you...

You're correct about timing chain (plastic tensioner rails) issues destroying even an IMS-upgraded M96...those plastic pieces can break and follow down the "belt conveyor" into the "bottom center" of engine and BAM, there goes a rod out the block. Seen it a few times (so, you need to pay...

Makes good sense.

Ooooh, you mean the 1of3 Russki prototype Tregs w/ front lockers, where the option never made it into production. :LOL: <kissy face with double middle fingers while doing a handstand>

Hopefully the dual row Pro!

You mean rear e-locker from the factory. Front e-locker is only aftermarket, from Harrop/Eaton....being tested now. <kissy face>

I know of a shop on the west coast who will be building something similar on a rowdy FZJ80. But it'll be awhile until it's complete, and it'll be a custom 1off to start (until they get more orders). Have you spoken to Tom's Fahrz.... in Germany? https://www.toms-fahrzeugtechnik.de Have a look...

I concur e-locker = electronic locker. Eaton's e-locker is one of the more popular brands out there so I was wondering if anyone knew if they were Eaton's e-lockers or another brand.

Sub'd! I think perhaps the Cayenne is somewhat more popular as people want to go against the grain; "Overlanding a Porsche? How cool is that?" Vs "Overlanding a VW? Oh yeah, that reminds me of when I had this '67 bus and my buddies and I...." :) Gearing for big tires is so much more favorable...

Awesome choice! Highly underrated. EW has some good products, just make sure you get all the pieces you ordered. And research other companies out there too. Stay away from the poly bushings unless you appreciate your rig sounding like a squealing pig. If you make your own skid, be mindful to...
