Very nice setup - that truck looks like it rocks!

Very cool rig! I'd be interested to see pics of the kitchen.

my 55 does a fine job of just about everything i throw at it,,,, but i must admit i really want to build a volvo C303.

This needs to be thrown-in to the expedition rig thread. It's a bit on the oddball side, but you have to admire the build quality and the artistry:

This rig lives near me.

You have to admire the mind of the guy who built it; he's a local artist and sort of weird in a good way). He had the truck for sale for a long time for USD$100K and had no takers so he raised the price to $250K!

Thats some serious truck. Caterpillar 6 cyl diesel with 275hp and 4sp Allinson
At $100K it was a bargain

Any idea what the truck is? He mentions "Scorpion" but I cant see anything on google like it.

7 Optima batteries is cool

Anything from UNICAT!

 

[lowenbrau]

Hey! That blue Unicat belongs to and is being driven by famous AK Cruiserhead, Charlie Arrons. His daily driver is a 78 BJ40 that he bought new.
