Dream Expedition vehicle

Dream Expedition vehicle.

What is your dream Expedition vehicle? What engine and or type of fuel? How would it be equipped?

 

[Outback]

For me my Dream Expedition vehicle would be based on a Volvo C306 or TGB 1317. This is the Swedish 6X6 radio truck. The engine would be transplanted with a Baby Power stroke Diesel engine and a NV4500 or NV5600 transmission. The inside would see a restroom and very small shower facility. Diesel burners for cooking. room to sleep 4 adults comfortably. A/c and heater would be from RED DOT with an auxillary diesel fired heater for those cold nights camping. 35" Super swamper Trxus MTs all around. On board air system and all the usual goods needed.

This is a Volvo C306 that has been outfitted for Expedition use. This is close to what I would like.

Though maybe a tad larger than I need. But, hey! You asked for a dream machine...

Mine would have to be a Land Cruiser 75 series Troop Carrier. Like this one only white.

Diesel please. Set it up with living accomodations in the back and the requisite recovery gear and I'm good to go. My 80 is getting close to my dream, but this would be the ultimate for me.

Well, we will see in a few years, but hope to score one of these(dont know how yet).......

If money was no object I'd get one of these.....

then I'd sell it for a huge profit and buy another Land Cruiser to fix it up.

I have always liked these. A great platform to begin with.

OK...I think I changed my mind...maybe.

I have been ogling the Pinzgauer 710K and think that might make a great expedition vehicle project...interior conversion, incorporate a pop up tent into the roof, extended range fuel tank...might be a winner!

Who knows? :ylsmoke:

I would have to agree. I change my mind too! I finally got my DREAM rig!

Land Rover 130 Crew Cab

I pirated this photo off of an overland forum - Land Rover 130 Crew cab. As a father to be my Series III SWB is going to need a bigger brother one day.... If money was no object this would be my ideal.

I might have to agree with Henry on this one. I love the 130 crew cabs.
