It would seem a truck has been added to the Expeditions 7 fleet of vehicles. Are there any details on this.

Yes a HZJ79 has been added to help carrying all the required equipments.

What kind of equipment?

 

[Beowulf]

Is this "equipment" mostly the butts of media personnel and their respective gear? Or, did the original team actually need more gear than they expected?

My understanding is that after the "shakedown" trip to Alaska, they added more photo/video equipment.
I have seen some of the teaser footage and the quality is phenomenal.

The Russian segment also requires to carry an extra translator.

Some of the Overland International (Expo/OJ) and E7 team members at Expo.

Fantastic

Is the HZJ79 also NZ sourced and RHD?

The push across the midwest.... Matt S. at the wheel of the 79 and some miles to go yet.

Nope - it's LHD, 1HZ and came from Proffitt's Cruiser.

What kind of equipment?

We consolidated all of the image/HDV equipment to the 79 and added a second video shooter / driver to the team.

Where do the video shooter/driver sleep?

I think it would be really cool & helpful to see some "everyday life/camp" stills that show how everyone camps/cooks/sleeps/hygiene and such using the 3 vehicles.

So many of the media trips spend all the time on the rigs in motion or someone talking and very little gets shown of camp life, cooking, unpacking/packing each day, sleeping setup and all that. The real meat & potatoes stuff
