Ouch. You could do an expedition Mog or Fuso for that kind of money.

Yes, I have already gone through their thread and web site and I am sure you can spend more than they spent. They went new on everything. However, you can also start out with a used JDM 4x4 Fuso for about 1/3 what they paid (more of course for a Mog) and then set it up to take a used camper or trailer (minus the axles). I have spent a bit of time dreaming about this. If you got the cash then go all new. But I know with kids and our cost of living here, my gypsy wheels limit will be well under theirs. I figure around $14,000 to $16,000 for a JDM 4X4 Fuso landed and registered. Easier and cheaper to get them to NA standards than a JDM 80. I would go the used fiberglass trailer route for another $5,000 - 7,000 max. And then have a custom bed built like their with a system for additional storage with another $5-7 Gs. All done, I figure it could be accomplished for under $35,000 including goodies like a winch, extra lights, and maybe an injectors and IP rebuild. You saw what 39ronin picked up:

That is what I call a sweet find. Keeps me dreaming...
