Builds building a landcruiser for overland expedition (3 Viewers)

Hi , I see that you are in Europe refurbishing your rig .
Beware that in Europe there are strict laws on gross weight of vehicles , and driving licenses allowed to drive them .
General rule is 3500 kg for a standard vehicle fully loaded .
And it applies also to a standard driving license .
Over that weight , you go into a specific driving license and the vehicle is no more a car but a truck .
As far as you Toyota is clearly heavily modified , and well over 3500 fully loaded , you could enconter some police check .
In case they find that your driving license is not up to the weight of the vehicle , despite the fine , you are not allowed to continue your trip .
Vehicle will be towed and stored till a fully licensed driver will pick it up .
Might never happen , but by the look of the rig you have , it is not a remote chance !
Beware !

Thank you for the information.

Outside kitchen, 98% of the time we cook outside. We use a Coleman gasoline fuel stove and a hot plate.

It is a motorcycle rack. We want to get a small motorcycle in the future, we might have to import one from USA, not sure how to purchase and own one in the EU. For now we have an ebike.

Finally re united with Nulla after 3 year. Adventure Truck Slovenia did a a great job with the camper build and the chassis extension. There are some mechanical hiccups but I think will be over. Nulla have not been on the road for 3 years.

Nulla is done! here is a youtube post by Adventure Truck Slovenia.

Take a look at the inside of Nulla! Such a great rebuild! We have started moving in and testing the camper systems to make sure everything works. Very glad that we decided to install the AC because it is hot here in Kamnik, Slovenia, and we have used it everyday. Unfortunate glitch, but part of the adventure, Nulla has blown a head gasket and we waiting for the parts to arrive hopefully this week. Meanwhile, we are enjoying our stay in Slovenia. Thank you Adventure Truck Slovenia for the hospitality and a great build!

day 8 of the build

Much of Day 8 was learning how to weld aluminum. A welding instructor was brought in to give me training on aluminum welding. Learning how to weld aluminum is probably the most significant progress on this day. One hundred percent of the remaining build will be in aluminum.

Pictured below is the progress we have made on the foundation of the camper shell. Today we will finish the final touches on the foundation, mount the floor and then begin the design and engineering of the upper camper shell.
