If money was no object...

[Inmused]

..this would be my next overlanding platform.

Iveco daily 4x4
3.0 litre direct injection diesel engine
Variable Geometry Turbo
170hp (125kW) of power
400Nm of torque from a low 1,250 rpm
Factory front, centre and rear lockers
12 high, 12 low, 4 reverse gears
2 PTO's
Tubular steel chasis
39° departure angle
48° approach angle
153° ramp angle
fording depth up to 660mm

Sooo good.

We are using these as ultralight off road fire tankers now.

So what would be your ultimate platform? Do you get these in the States?

I would build a one off rig with trailer. 40" tall tire both vehicle and trailer with built portal axles and e-lockers.

Id use this as my starting platform. A couple dirt bike chalks in the back. Have a matching trailer done for campsite set up to leave me free to roam.

A fellow I follow on Instagram (@lifeandmylens) sold his home and lived in a very large motor home. He totaled it on a gravel road in Alaska last year, and replaced it with a Global Expedition Vehicles Pangea LT like this one. http://globalxvehicles.com/pangea-lt-custom-bae/

I'd live in that!

This is a cool thread, but if money were truly no object the only thing I would do is put a Hemi in my Jeep, but that's not even necessary, it's just cool. I think, though, my ultimate platform is what I have built with my two hands and with the funds I have earned through hard work, nothing beats that feeling.

While I like the look of many of the rigs... I'd go only a little bit larger than what I have... Thinking something like this.

Alum skids, 6.4 L Hemi so I could run 37" without any problems, portal axels, I'd look at fitting a flip Pac on the back. I'd have way too much fun modifying it

Always loved the Brute, nice choice!

Same here! Love those trucks. Just thing they need 1 tons and about 8 inches of lift.

If money were no object, I would not be limiting myself to one vehicle or style / size.....

 

[[DO]Ron]

If money was no object I would still build a Overland Landcruiser like I always wanted :P might just upgrade it a little bit more then I got planned now but wouldn't pick another vehicle or anything..

 

[Joey83]

I would probably go for a Ford Excursion with a 6" lift, 38 or 40" allterrain tires, a 17000 lbs winch, custom bumpers, a few lightbars front and back, a new black leather interior, a massive stereo, no rear seats, a removable RTT and tinted windows (I'm a Ford guy)

[emoji848][emoji848] [emoji848]..... I think if money were no object, I'd go with:
2015 Xterra pro 4x
Full Titan swap for front with locker
TitanP4X rear axle
Cummins swap
Auxillary gas tank
37's.

Or maybe keep my current x and buy an earthroamer xvlt

I am working on that vehicle now!

 

[ASNOBODY]

Jeez, I wonder what the freefall velocity of that wheel up top is… hah. Nice rig tho.

 

[ASNOBODY]

I'd definitely go with a C-303 frame off, full custom build. God I love those things. Simple pleasures.

Have you ever drove one? I have always been curious about them. There used to be a guy that drove one around here, but I never got the chance to talk him about it, I would just see him around town but never cornered him, but it has been a few years since I have seen it.

Yes, I have driven one and it was awesome haha. It was brief and uncomfortable and slightly jarring buuuuuut… I'll take it anyway.

Yeah, I can't imagine that you could do much to make it a comfortable ride, and I know it is strange sitting in front of the steer tires.

This is my current fixation, I want one. But that will probably change in a week. I knew about these from doing research on my Excursion, it was the predecessor, The Ford Centurian Classic C350, which is basically a four door Bronco built on a F350 frame and drive train. The also had a C150 based on F150, but if you going big you might as well go heavy duty, right. My understanding is that Ford contracted this out to Centurion Vehicles, to gauge the competitive market against the Suburban.
