I fell in love with the old land cruisers in the Overland from england to singapore video. (nice and modernized of course) They have a TON of personality.
My other dream truck would be the truck from "kill bill"
The p@$$% wagon...
Hahaha

Which video was/is this and where can I find it?

SORRY, I'm a blastphemor(sp?)
I meant the Land ROVERs in the video that was posted on this forum. Land cruisers, shah, I wish!

Vehicle

Containing only the penthouse, 2 sets of captains chairs, and a fold down rear seat bed. I would also want the diesel powered furnace and a small section of cabinets.

Pulling this

With this on the trailer

Yes, a diesel.

I'd have exactly what I've got!! Done, of course. Who knows how long that will take..

My choice, build a Tatra

 

[XXXpedition]

i'dgo towards that direction, although the $75k wouldn't do...
but figure 4x4 and a bit smaller tires...

or this

 

[ckkone]

Think I can get a used Tatra for that?

Yes! Blaspheme! You are lucky you corrected yourself!:shakin: I have that video on my laptop. It it too long to upload... maybe I can put it on an external USB drive and send it to somebody to upload for everyone to see.

As for my dream vehicle... I'd take a Land Rover Series 2a, possibly an 1962 109" and put it on a galvanized coil sprung ECR frame, a diesel engine, dual tanks, add AC to please the wife, and build a matching expedition trailer... oh yeah, I've thought this through...:Astrologist: I even dream about it!

For the Dempster Hwy in Alaska

I gotta admit, among others, I'd could see a spot in my "Dream Barn" for this.
Complete with .75" lift kit. Fun little article in Car and Driver. And, of course, if I'm dreaming, then its a Z06.

Mine would be a single cab Super Duty F350, diesel and auto trans. 6" of lift, cushy springs and shocks to soften the ride of a 1-ton truck. I'd use Bushwacker cutout flares and squeeze at least 38" tall Mud Grapplers under it and gear down as needed. Lockers in both axles, of course. Add a fiberglass topper with roof top tent, lots of spare fuel, water, food, my huntin' stuff, and my bestest 4-legged friend along with a satellite phone and we're set.

But in true city-boy-Super-Duty fashion, I'd have a ridiculous amount of accessory lighting in all directions.
