    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    Right. 4 moderately sized windows will run you $2k (straight from said vendors website) and let's conservatively say $500 for install. You have $7,500 left. If we are rummaging equipment out of old RVs (which seems dank for a vehicle you spent $140k for but ok), then you are running...

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    I'd like to understand this better. Forget about granite counters and "flush toilets" (although I'm not sure what you consider a flush toilet since our Porta-Potti in the van essentially flushed....) $10k for the interior - even in a stark minimalist experience - seems like a dramatic...

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    The reality is, you're probably right. And we wouldn't have had an issue buying used except I just don't fit in most of the vehicles made so we pretty much were forced to go custom. If you just look at the EC, ER and GXV sites and other places, there is a pretty healthy used market and its...

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    A winch (or two), a genset and/or solar, proper recovery gear and some lithium sprinkled in and voila! You're at $200k. ........one person's frivolous amenity is another person's must-have accessory.

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    The "problem" with a F550 (and others) is you get 4/5 feet of completely useless OAL that not only extends the length but also the wheelbase in most cases. Its all about compromises.... One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter....... one person's frivolous amenity is another...

    Expedition Vehicles: ridiculously overpriced or not

    Go back and read the OP, the genesis of this entire thread, and then you'll be reminded of why a manufacturer would do that. Unfortunately, much of our society is so focused on price that they don't put a monetary value on quality. And the fact that this phenomenon gets worse, not better...

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    Impressed. That's like saying "I've spent a good amount of time catching Albert Pujol's bat mid-flight". I'm in awe of anyone that can mess with such things accurately.

    Smartphone Bore Scope Reccommendations

    No issues with its length, it coils up and I think I even put some velcro around it which gives it a nice handle of sorts. Mirror works good. Have to keep it absolutely clean and free of debris/dust. It seemed as I was researching them, the choices for iOS were greatly fewer and less quality...

    Two MAN 4 x 4 RVs sighted. Big Bend National Park, Texas. December 2018

    Good looking rigs. I like the triangle wind-breaks on top of the light-colored one in front of the zarges. I bet that cuts down on wind noise significantly. I also like the cages in front of the low headlights.

    Full Size Expedition Vehicle Recovery Gear

    Wow, thanks for sharing Foxhunter. I don't know why but chains have always scared me. The farmers around here swear by them but whenever someone is stuck and needs to get unstuck, its almost always the synthetic stuff that does it. I suppose the biggest benefit of chains (and cable to a...
