Very cool, should be nice. I'd start with a truck like that, rig up an air bag system for the mounts and beef up an existing travel trailer and plant that on the back. But that would be much cheaper than what tis build will end up being. :)

@BritKLR Ahhhh, the MGA 1600, love that roadster, I think Carol Shelby stole the basic design for his masterpiece. Nice TR 6, mine was green, yellow TR4A, my Bug eye was orange, a red Miata, etc. etc. Best drives have to include Eurika Springs to Branson!

What, you don't like Rambo?

Well, that flamethrower is claimed to shoot 25 feet, not 35', and that's probably at full charge lasting a few seconds. Looks like you might make one using the ignitor off a butane torch and a fire extinguisher, but I'd add some Dawn dish soap to my fuel mix just to give it some "stickey". I...

Just remember to mount the panels on top of the kayaks if you expect to charge during transport.

Way too much to read, but if you go for 40 days and nights, don't come back without those tablets unbroken!

It's eligible for antique car tags too!

I checked Harbor Freight, Granger and Amazon, no flame thrower available. Just where do you get one for $300? And if it is a DIY thing, please provide instructions. As far as a handgun, I'll use my 9mm, 15 shot, so 3 bad guys shouldn't be much work. I don't speak "Mexican" Spanish, all I can...

Can't help but thinking $15,000.00 would be more in line, but then I can't see all the modifications. Not picking on this vehicle, but seems people think they can add $5,000 in equipment to a vehicle and ask $6,000, and after the dusts settles, such DIY add-ons might bring a $1000. :)

Odd, EC is a sponsor on EP so it's not like they never look at this site, yet not a mention, a word about anything, but, I'm sure their attorney told them to run and hide and let us fend off claims. Speculations gone wild. The reason for any bankruptcy is financial as the bottom line. Even the...

Gotta put a rack/basket on the roof so everyone at intersections and stoplights knows you're a bonafide overlander. The rest can just stay stock, maybe some tires, but no lift. :)

Try the Chamber of Commerce, police departments for the areas of interest, make some phone calls to locals that provide social services since they usually know areas of need and dysfunction. You Mexican/Spanish must be excellent. Now, back to the Mexican killing field stories.

And we all know you can't teach an old dog new tricks, especially stupid ones!

I built boxes out of aluminum sheets, don't recall the grade, but I used a brake press to bend flanges on the sheets and bolted them together......back in the day engineering, next, how sturdy do you need these cabinets? I also used plastic boxes in a plastic rack, then there are plastic drawer...

Reminds me of the MT TV show, Road Kill.

I laughed too, but EP has defined "Overlanding" and "Expedition" travels and no, camping isn't overlanding. Driving your pickup to a camping site is a poor definition, next, driving to the grocery store will be the next adventure. It was a low swipe to get attention of this forum membership...

Maybe the owners of an EC should start their own thread, seems the only ones that care are owners, all the best guys but really, it's a dead horse, not interested in their misfortune. Last thing I'd want as a manufacture is having a consumer group who post comments about my units produced...

As to this story on the EP Journal, this happened while "Overlanding" in the title. Wow, what puffery by admin, no report about those three mentions "Overlanding", give me a break!

Boils down to a philosophy, should we all pull together for the good of all or should we act in our own self-interest for our own personal achievement? Definition of chaos; a two party political system in a capitalistic society. Who will step up to be the Ralph Nader of the EV? (Ralph gained...

I bought a used truck from a dealer and after reaching a "meeting of the minds" the guy pulled out an 8 page contract. I laughed at it and he saif their attorney was a partner in the company and they don't sell anything without the contract. That's ok, because he just explained that if I wanted...
