Thank you both for your responses. I think a Transit + Quigley is the direction I'm headed at the moment. I'm about a year out from purchase - so I still have some time to second guess everything, lol. Cheers matt

Planning stages of a 2024 RTW Trip. Going to do a van build. Looking at either a Sprinter 4x4 or Transit + Quigley. Two questions. 1. Which is a stronger platform (4wd)? 2. Thoughts on ULSD available globally in a few years.... (with enough range, is it a non-issue?) Thanks in advance

I have a 95 D1 with a dropped sleeve and a fading paint job. I go back and forth between wanting to just get it out of my driveway - and wanting to build it back up. I have a full size (diesel) truck for overlanding. Have also considered putting a Diesel engine in the disco. I'm not super...

Wow! What a great expedition. Thank you for taking the time to share your (very well written) trip report and photos/videos. matt rickman colorado
