[2dub]

Zombie thread alert....

• Realistic - Chevy Colorado ZR2
• Dream - AEV Prospector
• Nostalgic - Defender 110

Defender 110
Or maybe the new Bronco. We’ll find out tonight. Lol

UD-4 "Cheyenne" Dropship with the optional M577 APC

Square body suburban on 1 tons, double transfer cases, locked front and rear, hydro assist steering, 35s, and a 4 cylinder industrial diesel. I would love to run a Detroit 2 stroke because I think they are cool, more realistically though a 4bt Cummins because lots of delivery trucks ran Cummins b series engines and GM automatic transmissions so adapters are out there.

I have dreams of driving my 78 LS Scout around north and south America and then sailing a catamaran to Europe while my scout gets shipped over and then driving it around over there. After that I would sail down to Australia while the scout is shipped there eventually working my way around the globe. A guy can dream right?

I used to have one of these Lone Wolf Mcquade vehicles but I sold it because I didn't have enough space in the driveway at the time.

I own my dream rig

My current truck will become my dream build, when it gets done will depend on how concentrated I am on it and how much I avoid my other hobbies LOL

These are actually quite roomy inside:

The new Bronco or the Grenadier make me think the future is golden...... and maybe expensive.

Some sort of bush plane and a good duel sport bike. fly In , explore around , fly to the next state and repeat .

Mine would 100% be a PowerWagon / Prospector XL AEV Build towing a lifted Casita because, living in Texas, AC and a shower are a must during the summer months.



That or another 2012 Boss 302 like my old one with a RTT, a couple hidden rally lights behind the grill, and a 1 or 2" lift, enough to fit a couple BGF KO2s underneath.

 

[Autism Family Travels]

This all the way.

 

[Autism Family Travels]

Oh and this.

The only issue I see is charging. Solar hasn't caught up to where it is going to charge enough to add range, it can definitely net out daily living-power, but if you run out of juice someplace shady you might be waiting a week to get out of there.

Agreed, we would have to change our needs and minimize the battery drain. Think an articulated solar roof and a GVWR under 2K#. Add shocks like Audi has developed which use electric resistance and generate electricity and generate power. Apply that to every possible energy loss in todays vehicles. If it generates heat, we need to capture that energy. How do we capture aerodynamic drag to generate electricity. The goal is self sufficiency for a year.

Is it possible, of course. Who would have thought a smart phone could replace so many needs and be so compact or energy efficient. The difference is the cell/smart phone/tv grew in an unrestricted market. The difference is a lot of status quo industries will evaporate if electric vehicles take off. No different than what happened to horses 100 years ago except the fossil fuel industry is highly invested in our political machine.

I love the Piper J-3 and the new CubCrafters Carbon Cub SS. My dream is to build a Carbon Cub some day.

If I am getting a plane, It's this.
