BASE 4X4 concept
Re: FUSO with the yellow pop-up ... that's me!
I made a few new friends at Overland Expo last week ... though it's not
quite finished, I thought it was time to share online. The concept: minimal build, an insulated aluminum enclosure, with a pop-top (and sleeping platform), with basic electrical and plumbing in place. A purchaser would complete the build, outfitting to their taste/budget/needs. Affordable [comparatively] at something under $100K: about the same as a SportsMobile, well less than an Earthcruiser. The price will depend somewhat on cost of cab/chassis [new/used]; availability/build-schedule dependent on same. I'd love to hear feedback on basic features that you all would consider 'must-haves' ... and what are 'nice-to-have' options: pass-through? Flip-out-side tent/sleeping-area? shower? ... what else?? Also ... the prototype will be for sale in the next couple of months, once I've proven a few more details and worn out the promotional value
. Probably around $75K.
What do you all think: am I crazy? Let the rocks fly!
Hmmm ... am so sorry, just discovered it won't let me upload images ... probably because I've been a lurker all these years and not much of a poster. Or maybe because they're big images and I'm an idiot. Check out the website? BASE4X4 dot COM
Thanks
