Some real innovation and new ideas here. Admittedly probably too expensive for civilian use ? Love the final kerb weight and use of truck wheels to get the height without the complication of portals. what do you think over on the other side of the pond...

Wow... Well done, I think that counts as the first overland expedition and it's not even built yet!

Glad to see High Cup Nick 😀 Not many people discover it and I think it is one of the most awesome places in this part of the world? Always reminds me a bit of Iceland. Enjoy your travels, I' m just about to leave the Lakes behind for Dumfries and Galloway for some peace and quiet...

Hi Jostein, Iceland is an excellent choice. Though I gather some areas are victims of their own success, leading to new restrictions unfortunately. The bible for my trip was "Adventure in Iceland" by Pal Asgeir Asgeirsson. Excellent reports on some of the less used routes with information on...

Thanks for taking the trouble to load all of those pages up. Great to see lots of different ideas. Cheers James

This is one of the best real world 4x4 campers I have seen being put together on this site. Love it! As much as I love gawping at the big stuff like Mogs, I think this is the perfect real world machine? A credit to your skills as well. I bet you can't wait to use it! Where is the first trip...

I've been quite fascinated by these for a while. A nice 1982 crew cab for sale in Holland. http://www.expedition-trucks.com/brokers/steyr-1291-expedition-truck No price though! Still cool though:smiley_drive: James

As The BigBlue says, you can get away without carrying extra. However we made a base camp at Askja for a few days and explored in every direction including the old 910 . We did take an extra 15 gallons on this occasion and needed every one! So for added flexibility I would be tempted to...

A great truck for someone? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-SPRINTER-316-2-7-4X4-4WD-FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE-AWD-CAMPER-MOTOX-PANEL-VAN-/221464974386?pt=UK_Campers_Caravan_Motorhomes&hash=item3390575432 We think 2.7 litres is a big engine over here!

Thanks for posting. Took me back to 2006 when we spent three weeks there. So gutted the ferry does not call in at Shetland anymore :( We need to go back again, preferably with a truck like yours :drool: James

Hi Kev, Really enjoying the blog. I am very envious. We did part of your route a couple of years back and thought Gerainger Fjord was trashed by it's world heritage status & quickly headed back into the hills in search of Trolls! (found Musk Ox!) Did you see the Youtube footage of the Atlantic...

Hi, thought some members might be interested in seeing these? Personally I think this would be a great base to work from......if the price is right! http://www.hwpickrell.co.uk/showone.php?idnum=2448&backto=frontline-ambulance-PTS.php& Cheers James

Hi Wayne, Nice set up there. Out of curiousity where were those shots taken? Cheers James

Hi, Thought people might be interested to see this on the other side of the pond? A bit pricey, but it is a smart bit of kit. Its the first time I have seen a T5 lifted (excepting the gorgeous Achtleitner on portals). Just needs some nice Cooper STT's to butch it up...

No affiliation etc. Just thought this was an interesting piece of kit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IVECO-4x4-DAILY-5-5-Tonne-Hydraulic-Hookloader-System-and-Several-Bodies-/150753010402?pt=UK_Commercial_Trucks&hash=item23199462e2#ht_614wt_1188

OK they may not be as cool as a Pinz.... but at the right price however? This one is 20 miles away from me, check out the red leather interior! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110809693253&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en#ht_500wt_1203 Must not look, must...

Just came across this on UK ebay, :elkgrin: They are a rare beast here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Expedition-Motorhome-6x6-events-Ural-4320-Diesel-/300597740317?pt=UK_Campers_Caravans_Motorhomes&hash=item45fd05831d#ht_3632wt_1186 Personally as much as I love these big rigs, I do think they...

Amazing video shots up on the Vatnajokull from Jon Olafur Magnusson. Enjoy :Wow1: http://www.visir.is/section/MEDIA99&fileid=CLP4297 Apologies if I have posted in the wrong place! James

Hi Scott, I saw that sprinter in Iceland as well! Fell in love with it. Link here: http://www.4x4offroads.com/mercedes-benz-sprinter-44-inch.html I think its an Achtleiner Mantra with a few more Icelandic tweaks :ylsmoke: Cheers James
