Well, gang, all of our Sprinter conversions are now officially ho-hum. ;) Andy Mauck, who was the project director for Creative Mobile Interiors when they built out my Sprinter expedition camper, has been working for a couple of years developing a company that will be making a RV conversion...

I notice that Geeks.com has the DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-20 (2008 version for Windows) for $19.99. Costs another $8 for shipping. The GPS receiver cable goes in a USB port. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=LT-20&AID=10440852&CJPID=552179 I doubt anyone would make the case that this is...

FWIW, I notice from dealnews.com that Motorcycle Superstore has some big discounts on their Yoshimura motorcycle jackets, including a mesh one that is under $30 before shipping. They may go fast, and there are usually limits on sizes and availability on deals like this, but I didn't investigate...

I'm looking to buying a variety of JK goodies--everything from grab handles to wheels--and was wondering whether you'd want to steer me toward, or away from, any of the the big Jeep accessory suppliers. I'm thinking more of the giant companies that sell everything (4WD Hardware, Central 4WD, 4WD...

Not my question; I got asked this by a fellow Mogger who has the expo-standard 45L ARB 12V compressor fridge and wanted to know how far off horizontal his fridge can operate at. Indeed, the has a Mog trailer where the fridge would fit much better if laid on it's side under a bench. Ignoring the...

I'm impressed by the potential benefits of the Rhino-Rack Foxwing awning, but don't want to drool over it any more if it's not available here. I got pretty far down the Google results without finding a link that didn't have .au at the end. Can I get this awning at a reasonable price, either...

When I built my Sprinter Camper, I put some sturdy brackets on streetside to carry the traction panels. It turns out, though, that this would also be a fine spot to mount an 8 or 10 foot Porta-Bote, which my wife is convinced would be just the thing to carry around so we could doodle around...

Just noticed that the Boat Electric Company, a long time Northwest marine supplier, has a clearance sale of some useful electrical panels, monitors, etc., along with some Cantalupi lights. High end stuff, but some at big discount. There's also about $300 off on an 85-quart (yikes) Waeco fridge...

It's only a concept of course. Still, I don't know about you guys, but if I had one of these, I bet I could figure out how to make something very cool out of it. :sombrero: news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/03/video-tour-nissan-nv2500-commercial-van-concept.html

There’s been a thread on the Unimog mailing list concerning the capabilities of some different vehicles—it started with comments about a Pinzgauer vs. a 404 Mog—and several people wrote in good information. This afternoon, one of the Moggers, Jud Eades, wrote in with personal information...

NEWER EDIT: The shell's gone to a local ExPo member. See the 8/06/09 post below. EDIT 5/31/09: The shell's going to stay here, probably serving as a backyard guest cottage to get it out of storage. Thanks for the interest. Mikey's Prepackaged Instant Overlanding Vehicle . . . Just add truck...

After an indefensibly long delay, it's time to start wrapping up the build thread on my Sprinter camper by covering the systems in the van. The chassis and exterior, along with an overview of the vehicle, were covered first in the thread at...

Well, after having to go a whole week without an expedition vehicle to call their own, the AdventureDuo is ready to roll again in the more-svelte-than-their-last-truck (hard to imagine, ain't it) LC80 Dave and Yosh created. Dave hitched a ride up here with his buddy Pete Trasborg, arrived a...

It's time for the M-Bz Sprinter van to have it's day in the sun/rain. The fourth annual Sprinterfest will be held on Saturday, April 18th in Tualatin, OR. Of special note to this forum is that the Sprinter 4x4 conversion we've discussed herein will be available for inspection. I've driven this...

A fine looking dump truck, don't you agree? It's a concept Mitsubishi showed at Hannover called the Canter Eco-D. Lots more views here: http://video.aol.com/video-detail/mitsubishi-canter-ecod-prototype/217153912 AWD diesel electric. Unmentioned in the video is the fact that the front and...

Nice commercial van introduced by Spier Fahrzeugwerk at the Hanover Commercial Truck Show. Many more pictures here: http://www.nfm-verlag.de/bilder/spier-aerobox-2008/mid32284/ Shame it is for Europeans. :(

Don't think this has been posted before; couldn't find mention of it through a search. So . . . This link got posted up on the Sprinter Source as the cabin can be purchased with a flatbed Sprinter for motive power. http://www.tonkecampers.nl/?page=home&lang=eng These cabins don't look like...

For a while, and still around as of today, Orange Onions has offered a 12-volt pressure washer for $40 plus shipping. I'm as skeptical as the next guy, but figured the worst that could happen is that I could tell everyone it's useless. Well, it's kind of an interesting thing. Not as a...

One of the few problems with having bought my EarthRoamer Rubicon is that they pretty much did all of the modifications. Already got me uppity bumpers, wheels, tires, winch, lift, lights, rack . . . what's a guy to do? Ummm . . . floormats. Must . . have . . . new . . . floormats. ;) The mats...

Betcha can't guess what I did today . . . :) Went out this morning in my ex-AdventureDuo LC80 on a trail run into the Tillamook State Forest as the chase truck for a fully functional, US-legal Sprinter 4x4 T1N prototype. Got to drive the Sprinter around, too. The Sprinter worked well...
