Wow, I bet stressful.

Anyone know the ballpark weight for a 14' ambo box?

Odd as it sounds, I've been looking at truck hubcaps. No mud or sand retention. I don't see how heat retention would be an issue.

A very inspirational build and still love looking it over. I remember the first time I saw it I was in awe. Still has that effect on me... To much chrome for my taste. And I can't think of anything non-commercial that I could put all those light poles to use. Enough money and you can do...

Lowering the CG would be my thought. A lot of folks mount their boxes high on the rails but given the nature of the beast, I want to sink my amob box down as far as I can get away with doing.

Heh, nice thing about being short is that's a non-issue. :) But yes, the interior height varies greatly between make and models. It's not uncommon to find a 14-foot box that is at least 6', though. I'm doing an ambo-box conversion on my LMTV (much like CoachGeo).

Conditions look GREAT. Sure wish I could still ski. Bummer on the awning. I wonder if anyone has ever done some heating element just for that purpose.

Have you considered a 4x4 truck and a travel trailer? Easily well within your budget and turnkey. If you're only looking to do mild off-road then you could drop the trailer at a nice spot for base camp and use the truck to venture off further.

I'm thinking he means "toilet paper holders/the spring-loaded type of roller"....

Awesome stuff ! And I just scrolled back and noticed a pic I had missed before. Love the Sunfish being towed on the roof !!!

That's one BEEFY rim there !!!!

I've read a lot of good things about the C-Head. Only issue that stuck out to me was getting the dreaded "gnats" or whatever little flies they are. Seems like once they get in the vehicle from the crapper, no matter what you do to the crapper they are damned hard to get rid of them. Don't...

Looks like the local mountain line right there holding the beer. ;)

Good stuff !

Thanks for the update. What an awesome trip !

Really love this solution !

The way the military does it is via a Driver Alert switch in the back. It buzzes the *annoying* dash alarm on the LTMV.

As far as intercoms go, I run PCI in all my cars and Rugged is another brand that's loved by off-roaders (both are pricey solutions, though). https://www.pciraceradios.com/collections/intercoms/products/pci-4-link-pro-elite-package-2...

"...Navigation and Music will be head phones" Check the local laws (pretty much anywhere you plan to travel). Headphones or headsets are fine for the passenger, but the driver is "supposed" to only cover one ear in many states (I know CO is one). I wear them in my off-road cars and open cars...
