Lets see your expedition rigs!

[p14175]

Right now, this is what we have. It works pretty well for easy trails.
1992 Dodge Cummins 4x4 and a 1997 Casita 17ft trailer. It's a start.

My wifes LJ Rubicon loaded for a 3 day trek through Death Valley.

[XJOREGONDIRT]

my all purpose beater/explorer/daily driver

[OlympicYJ]

Give us some specs on it.

[XJOREGONDIRT]

90 2dr xj
rebuilt engine
96 30-40le transmission
96 driveshafts and LS rear axle
straight through exhaust
bosch injectors out of 94 volvo 960
high output fuel pump
skyjacker shocks
got rid of the carpet
hella driving lights
extra trans cooler
added a electric fan to go with the manual one
home built bumper that is a bit too heavy
wheel spacers 1.5 in per side
32x11.5 bfg at
heavy duty cross over steering
switches for shifting and tc lock up
home made 3" lift
k&n
corvette diesel oil filter with higher bypass psi
home made rear diff guard
sawed out fenders
got rid of both the sway bars

lots of little things mostly. I need to make a roof rack so I can get some of the crap out of the back. I going to build something bigger for expedition type stuff, a wagoneer or j10 I think. Then make this more of a toy or something it get really bad mileage in town I think it's partially the gearing 3.55s.

[willysworker]

I'd drive my Willys/Wagoneer anywhere/anytime in North America.

[Doron_B]

1997 Hilux, 2.4D
Wheel &tire 31" MT/R
Custom made 1.5" longer then stock springs with 3" lift.
Bilstein 5150 rear & Tough-Dog HD front shocks.
Sway-bar disconnect,
Custom made Front winch bumper & rear.
Home made Rock rails.
Home-made snorkel.
Front & rear E-locker.
Flat cross member.
Fuel tank skid plate.
E-loker guards,Axle armor and more.

This is my daily drive well so most wheeling gear is packed in plastic and metal boxes that fit the truck bed for max' storage efficiency.
Gas stove, 40 L of water in two plastic cans with tap on the cap and more.
60L original fuel tank gives me about 400km between fueling when going off road and a 20L spare tank gives extra 150 km.


Typical look when wheeling.








gas stove when closed and when on duty.


simple water tank..X2

And for when I want some alone time:

that cage and rack must have been recent, dont remember seeing that at the expo portal dinner session.

lookin real good

[neliconcept]

here is mine, plans are diamond or dana44 front but keep it in the limits of excessive height, arb roof rack, and pay the other half of my damn rear bumper since i have no idea if its done or not.

[Docfranco]

Early picture of my (new to me) 1979 Unimog. I will get to update pics when i finally get my hands on it. I plan for it to be my DD/expo/trail rig/car crusher
I will mostly do interior sound proofing and fix things that come with a rig sitting for a year. wish me luck...oh, i will also run it on veggy oil...

[ES_97Sport]

Dana 44 SAS'd Mitsubishi Montero Sport. Almost everything that might break or cause problems has been replaced with commonly available parts. The Mitsu t-case is in the process of going away. That's being replaced with dual NP231s. I'll hold enough supplies for a week and a half for two and a week for four. Two can sleep in the vehicle so we don't usually bring a tent for myself and my SO. Loaded to 6400 GVW it still gets 17-18 mpg - and it'll go dang near anywhere off road even loaded. Also doubles as my daily driver work truck. :-)

[FORYOURRIDE]

who makes these tail light. have met the own and that box is bad ass and trail lights are hella bright

[maxyedor]

My Disco, weld-on bottle opener and some other parts. Along with my buddies RRC, complete with 75hp worth of stickers

[Johnny Quest]

you should do the blinker fluid upgrade; it should easily double your sticker hp

sick pic btw

[xface]

This is how I get there......







And this is what i ride when I am There







Truck: Dana 44 front, Fox Coilovers , Locked snorkel and lots of other goodies.
Bike: Giant AC, 6.6Manitou coilover, Sram everything, Manitou Nixon Fork
Nice Rigs everyone!
