Sonke, I lived in Bremerhaven from 1990-1993, where are you located?

I covet your Cruiser...that is the coolest thing ever!

[soenke]

Hey Wngrog,

thanks.

Sound as if you´ve been in the army overseas...

we live in the North at the Baltic Sea

annex track we call in oz,every caravan,mobile home has it,it is the method we use for awnings,very common,it has a piece of rope sewn inyo the edge of the canvas,very effective

[soenke]

and spent the first night in our new home, an old farm house:





next day kayaking over the bay to get some food and beer ..

Soenke, where is this place, near to Kiel???


Nice pics, Vielen Dank!


Prost!

[soenke]

it´s more to the east, in Mecklenburg.

I just came across you cruiser for the first time and I must say that it is the best mix of new and old that I have seen. You have a fine vehicle.

I would love to see some video of this truck running and the pop up camper in action. Do you think you could post one on YouTube?

[Johnny_boy_1984]

Hey Soenke, so many people are very interested in your ride, ever thought about building some more and sell it? I don't think that I could afford one, but lots of other people might. Something like Icon does, keep the legend alive!

[soenke]

Hey Cruiser, sorry don´t have any videos

Hey Jonny,

I don´t think we would make any money, it´s just to much work to pay for
even regarding that the next J4/J8 would be quicker to build knowing how to do it..


and I am not shure if there are many more weird people like us spending so much time and money for a car..

but if someone really want´s the Toyo ... try me

[Johnny_boy_1984]

Maybe I will, if I ever win the lotery

[Tooth Fairy]

Wow. I'm trying to get past coveting my neighbor's goods here.

Again, very nice.

Butch

just want to show you the lates of Marcus´builds:

a new kind of 80 build dedicated to travelling has just been finished by the Offroadschmiede Marcus Haase |
it´s lighter to go without a hydraulic system and less complicated without the J4 cab...

[Falco80]

That is 80 series porn right there! If only Toyota did make something like that....I like it a lot!

[concretejungle]

WOW! !

Great 80-Camper

[sandcruiser]

lovely.
Do you have any interior photos?

I still like the 40 cabin better, and the way that the camper lifts is more attractive to me than this fold-out type. In the rain I suspect that the folded canvas could get musty.

But these are petty distinctions. That 80 looks wonderful and I'd be exited to see it, let alone drive it, let alone actually own one.

[soenke]

I still like the 40 cabin better

me too, .......but´s an option. Sorry there is no interior yet.

Have been out to another LandCruiser meeting this weekend, maybe you like to see some pics?

camp with friends







have you seen this truck ??

[sandcruiser]

nice post! What *is* that truck?

[gilghana]

Bremach - small Italian manufacturer using IVECO engines. They are "fairly" well known in EU overlanding camper type circles. Looks great!!!

I have to say it Soenke - the orangy yellow 70 camper just looks way too "fussy", the dune beige one looks too fat at the back... etc. Honestly speaking when I see your one with the 40 cabin I wonder why these other guys bother - If I was in that position I would just be handing over a picture of your rig and saying "make me that please" - no camels, no Touaregs... just classic clean lines in a regular colour
Congrats - pretty difficult to improve on your truck as I see it.

[ThePookieBear]

Wow... that 80 is the bomdiggity. You still have full the 2nd row of seats in there?

[soenke]

no second seat row in this one, but if you want them, you could start the camper shell behind the passenger doors. Will be less space inside then...

Hey Sandcruiser, ...Stefan posted a few pics here, even from the (empty) interior

[crushers]

that is an amazing build...

[mot]

Incredible...

[soenke]

Marcus www.offroad-schmiede.com exhibited for the first time at the ABENTEUER & ALLRAD in Bad Kissingen, we just visited for the weekend...





In this exhibition almost all professionals in 4x4 cars and parts in Europe, 4x4 travelling organisations and a few offroad cubs participated. So we had enaugh to explore besides answering questions about our car. There have been few nice cruisers and a lot of other 4x4 or trucks bigger then a house. (don´t know what they are used for...) Been to busy to make a lot of pics though.




Just want to show you one more standard roof elevation from Michi from www.desert-tec.de
the new f/g roof for J8







this is a " vessel" from a competitor, I think its from http://www.geocar.com/





a long travelled one from http://www.alpha-cab.de/start.html

[fj404life]

Yours is by far the coolest of the bunch!

[soenke]

thanks , I like some of the other solutions too, everything has two sides....
