    Was interested to hear Scott Brady say that the F&R lockers are e-lockers. Anyone know if they're actual Eaton brand?

    Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) BASE-CAMP Pickup Camper - Soft-Wall and Hard-Wall Versions

    If you're coming up to OR, send me a PM. We could meet at TVO (OR/WA OEV dealer), you could check out an OEV as well as my setup. We could talk E350's and Transit's too. :)

    2021 Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) CAMP-HBE pop-up flatbed pickup camper (renamed the "Hudson Bay" for 2023 model year)

    Agreed on OVE models. They need a comparison function, as well as it'd be helpful if they'd stop changing model names every 6months. Makes it very confusing to keep up with what old model turned into what new model, and what's now updated/different. Is that a positive for a dynamic vehicle...

    Status of US Maltec Campers?

    On which chassis vehicle? I can't disagree with you, as author GB here on ExPo is VERY well aware of Maltec shenanigans, and was supposedly writing an article about "Maltec experiences," although I never heard if the article was being written for ExPo or OJ or some other outlet. Pop up ad deal?

    2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

    Thx Danny. AFAIK it's all 100% aluminum. I don't think HPI uses any steel, save for SS piano hinges other cargo boxes, and maybe the actual box handles. If you're looking for an economical solution, check out UTE bed from AUS. Their USA importer is in Seattle WA. It's what AEV used on their...

    You got it. W463 G-Wagens were 4Matic AWD, with Hi/Low t-case. Then also in sequence(you'd have to re-wire to be able to lock out of sequence) #1 Center diff lock, #2 Rear diff lock, #3 Front diff lock. Note; the diff locks on the W463 (unlike the W460 which were hydraulic slave cyl only) were a...

    ***OFF EC TOPIC*** So, get a '21 PowerWagon instead of a '21 Gladiator?

    nickw made a good point to Otis about a petrol Cayenne alternative. Biggest difference I see to the IG (and this is where I come back to what would be my 3rd G-Wagen as a $75k alternative) is that exterior and interior-wise, the IG and G-Wagen appear pretty similar in boxy nature, ability to...

    Status of US Maltec Campers?

    Wow, so sorry to hear. Your story mirrors others I've heard about. Just goes to show Maltec is still producing shenanigans vs happy customers. What a shame. PS--this article? https://expeditionportal.com/announcing-the-e7-200m-land-cruiser-camper-the-ultimate-toyota-overlander/ Sadly, no...

    Earth-cruiser NPR 4WD drivetrain issues?

    Contact CORE_vehicles here, they seem to be interested in offering an experience in one of their/EC rigs. I'm not sure if EC/Core has re-designed from their initial design (which are the ones I've heard from direct owners had the problems).

    What would you consider as a competitor at a $75k price point? Are some of you suggesting that some of those early on the Reservation list, might purchase one just to re-sell it at a higher price to someone else waiting in line/eager for one? I just recv'd an email from IA about the ability...

    Digging up an older thread after a friend talking about a new project and asking about Maltec conversions.... What is the latest with Maltec Germany, and Maltec USA? German site has recently had a security warning for me on numerous devices and before that had the same handful of converted...

    Rebel truck was for sale awhile back; wonder where it went to. So you haven't driven EC's Dynatrac-axle'd CORE models?

    Assuming you're talking about AngryIron as one shop, I wonder if Rebel is also in your list?

    Add S&B to the American fuel tank manufacturers (diesel only though), and damn great quality/service. Not surprised in regards to LRA. Having had their Sprinter tank "kit" splayed out and pro technicians trying to install it, it was a total joke of a kit, and no technical help at all from...

    Nothing here. ? I don't have your expertise with it, but the ASP is a handy "tool" if the need ever arises. Well that's a very slick way to skin the cat; compact package that just zips up and totes out--thanks for sharing. Somewhere to hold a big water bottle would be handy; wouldn't you know...
