Wow, they move fast! That seems like a lot of work since you dropped it off.

EarthRoamer has some awesome employees working on it. Amazing attention to detail.

I think the attention to detail is what impressed me most about the Earthroamers, and you could see it in all stages of production.

We are working on it every day. Tim (SOAZ) is up here helping with it too. My excitement is really building. The newest builds (like mine) are quite the evolution from the prototype, including harnesses and modules for reliability. I will post more pictures soon.

Within hours of being finished. Just the tent remains, which will arrive in the next 30 minutes or so.
I expect to be sleeping in it tonight - pretty exciting
When I get it back to AZ, we will install the AEV wheels and new tires, along with a few additional suspension adjustments, shocks, etc.
Then, we will load it full of gear and head to So. Cal. and then all the way up the coast to Oregon and the Steens Mountains, then east to Moab for the LRNR.
Hopefully I can see a few of you along the way :smiley_drive:

And a big thanks to Tim (SOAZ) for all of the hard work in Denver. Could not have finished this up on time without you!

We try to replace the vehicles before 80k, so they have a nice amount of life left in them. It should take less than three years to hit that with the XV-JP.
