In the spirit of that, just for fun, what's your ultimate 4WD build?
Whether it's the one you've got (pics?

You could mount a big flash camper up on the back.

But if I had the opportunity, I would like to build my own machine.
* Rubber tracked like the Cats that are available commercially
* Diesel V8
* Twin inline 4 or 5 speed manual gearboxes
* A hydraulic ram on each of the four corners vertically for jacking
To marry these type components together with a few other ideas I have would keep me happy.

That would be chaos in the cab each gear change lol probably better off haveing a 2 stage reduction transfer case
Like the other stuff though

Take some driving, I doubt there would be any modern "truckies" out there would have any idea how to drive one. You wind up skipping gears as a few of the ratio's overlap, From memory about 200 rpm between gears means a very close-ratio gearbox.

I like to have cold beer, ice and lots and lots of meat when I travel. I also end up doing most of the cooking because I just love cooking.
