    Default Pangea

    Check out the GXV website. They have a picture of a new cab and chassis International on the home page, with the announcement that they will be building a pangea with the raising roof, and will be posting photos of the entire build as it progresses. That should be fun to watch.

    Okay, brain fart. I could have sworn blackeye had a Pangea. Someone around here does right? Who is it?

    Smile U500 Pangea

    A third Pangea has started to be built by GXV. This one will be on a 2005 Unimog U500 chassis. The following is the basic design concept. I will post some pictures I get of the build as it progresses.

    image.jpgimage.jpg

    The 3D images are not an U500 but the actual build will be.

    Sweet! Was this decision Deliberate?
    If you want to build a ship to sail the 7 seas, you do not hire the labor,
    chop down the wood and then bark orders. Instead find men who long
    to go to sea and everything else will follow.
