EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

[toyotech]

HOLY SMOKES that is drop dead SEXY!!!!!!!!!! :drool::drool::drool:



Taco's don't appear to have enough payload in stock form, even with upgraded susp then you're needing to upgrade gearing, then larger brakes........

Who makes that Aussie setup??

I'm sure it's all aluminum and not much more weight compared to a fiberglass shell. RTT and dual swing out steel bumper

I like this one, including the portal axles

The "jack off" type canopy arrangement is not that practical in camping situations, perfect to have a trade ute during the week and put the canopy on for weekends though

Legs just are not solid enough in a camping situation unless lowered

If you guys don't knock this crap off, Paul's going to abandon this Earthroamer project and start working on a wooden flatbed!

Maybe someday... I got back from Western Australia yesterday and will be back on task with the ER jeep next week... Feeling very inspired by the way the Australians approach offroad designs... They have taken it to a whole 'nother level...

Totally agree! The Autralians are on top of the game right now. We did a lot of research on that market. That's the reason we went with windows that are designed for the australian outback. We are also currently selling more composite truck bodies to Australia than anywhere else! I may even fly there soon to assist in a expedition truck build. Never been there, should be fun!

Yawn. Worth a look and comment but let's move on.

OK... While I was gone, the new rear cabin curb side window came in... And, I decided on a color scheme... More later...

 

[PaulJensen]

Color scheme ideas...





The lower body graphics of the ER would remain...

Yay or nay...???...

 

[Jeep]

Yay. Nice combo, right colors.
