Thanks for posting. I live in SC and might have to check it out sometime. Where did you download the route? Also, you think I could run it in my Subaru Outback or would I need to unleash the old Land Cruiser?

Sold!

M101A2 military cargo trailer purchased a few years ago via auction from Fort Benning. The bones are fantastic, but somebody did a rough paint job to change color from olive drab to desert. It's a solid trailer, but I'm going to be moving and won't have a great place to store it. I will include...

How will the rise of self-driving vehicles impact our hobby? I can't imagine that overland vehicles will be great at self-driving on dirt or forest service roads in our lifetime, however, I think we'll see self-driving highway and pavement vehicles within the next decade. I actually like the...

It looks pretty awesome, but I think I'd rather have the GXV Unimog that's been for sale on EP for $275 k. Not that either is really in my price range, but if I had a few hundred thousand in my camping budget...

Anybody ever think about fabricating a cabover bed extension to create extra space/sleeping accommodations for a pick-up truck style ambulance? I don't think you can pull off the unsupported kingsize bed like the earthroamers, but maybe some supports coming off the front of the frame or a...

Not mine, but saw this posted earlier this week in Charlotte: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/144223-FS-in-Charlotte-NC-area-1997-Toyota-Land-Crusier-40th-Aniversary-w-factory-lockers

Nice set-up! What's the standing head room in the camper section? How much headroom do you lose in the bathroom?

Great looking rig. I wish I was in need of one!

I don't buy many lottery tickets, but I just picked one up for Power Ball. I'll PM you to set up a showing if I win!

My first impression on that was that it looked pretty scammy. Even if the Mog has a salvage title, the camper shell alone looks like it could sell for more than the asking price.

Very good looking rig. I haven't seen many of the truck-based ambulances with the cut-through, not that I'm an expert, but I've looked around a little. GLWS

Wow, I got mine from Fort Benning for about $600 all-in. Similar condition, although mine had a layer of desert paint that was peeling off. They painted everything over the original green paint, including the the chains and chaincovers for the tailgate. One of these days I'll get it...

I'm not really looking for something right now, but I've been fantasizing about camper conversions and ran into this 4x4 ambulance on Ebay. Looks like it could be converted into a really solid setup...

Very cool, I'd definitely like to do Whitney someday, but I'd probably hike instead of climb. I'm an east coaster so I think I'll need to take a long hike to acclimatize to the higher elevation. Highest peak we have here in North Carolina is less than half of Whitney's elevation!
