I'd seen it before, but never the floorplans showing the unique way that the trailer folds. I'll have to spend some more time looking at that. Not that I'll ever be able to afford such a toy...

Absolutely

I just find it really cool what people are building for full on global expeditions. I couldn't imagine the cost for transporting a vehicle like that from continent to continent.

Can we say sponsor!!!!

You know, this thing seems to be the toy of a multi-millionaire whose (not-so)secret dream is to be 007.

Or maybe a real-life Richie Rich

I'm so insanely jealous.

Where in the world are they going to put that boat and UUV??

And if they take this thing to any country that doesn't have a spy capability as advanced as, well, the CIA, will it be conscripted?

By the way, I'm still really jealous. That's one serious technogeek rig. It should come with Alfred Pennyworth at the wheel.

I have no idea.

All I know is that ALLOT of gear to bring with you. I imagine you need a few engineers to come along to operate everything.

I'm just surprised they haven't integrated a lunar excursion module. They seem to have everything else.

I don't know its a new addition, or I just noticed, but Unicat has pix of the MaxiMog and Trailer.

That is one intense command post.

The snorkle starts at the guys head (5'6" at least) that puts the top of the snorkle at nearly 12 ft... with a positive pressure cabin you should be able to drive with water to the top of the windows and watch the fish swim around you as you navigate across the river via the top mounted camera system

Pretty wild...

Even a rig this heavy is going to start to float at some point. I'll bet that if you don't flood the cabin it's going to be a barge in 5'6" of water. And with all the toys inside, you certainly wouldn't want to flood the cabin.

When I was in the military driving M151s with fording kits, if we didn't open the doors and flood the cabin they would start to loose traction in fairly shallow water. Open the doors, however, and they would crawl along the bottom with water flowing over the hood.

Just cross this thing with the "Bison" posted under "Other Custom Expedition Campers" and water depth is no longer an issue... instant house boat!
However, now you have to build a crossing ramp from the main unit to the trailer... but that should be a piece of cake for these guys.
