This is a travel rig concept that I've been working on in the background for the last few years. It would be a vehicle for the 2 of us to travel in for long overland trips. The habitat has a 4' by 6'2" bed (convertible to a dinette), a small kitchen, and a composting toilet. I've played around with 23 configurations, and I kind of like this one. This is a pop top with standing height.
That time almost 6 years ago when we considered purchasing a Steyr 12M18. In hindsight, we probably should have got it, but things worked out well in the end. I think it would have been a really good truck.
It’s hard to believe that we reached the Arctic Ocean in Tuktoyaktuk over 2 years ago. After spending over a year and a half building the truck, it was fun to be one of the first vehicles to reach the Arctic Ocean in 2019 when the Arctic river crossings first opened along the Dempster Highway. It sure has been a crazy 2 years since then. We are thankful we were able to have this experience.
We added the finishing touches to the custom cab hardtop this week. The outside got a nice, glossy coat of white paint and we put speckled texture paint on the inside surface. It looks really sharp.
Well, you might not be hearing from us for a little while as we regroup a bit. We sold the truck to a great experienced overland couple and they came and picked it up. You can follow along on their adventures @searchandrec.
These are a few video clips as we drove along the Dempster Highway and crossed the Arctic circle. We saw a lot of wildlife along the way. This particular grizzly ran ahead of us and then circled around behind us to check us out again. It ended up coming extremely close to the truck, so we decided to leave the area.
I find the Mog easy to work on. It's nice to work on a vehicle with maintenance ease designed into it.
Now that we are back, we are starting to go through little video clips that we shot during the trip. It’s kind of fun because we can relive little bits of the trip as we go through the files.
We are home now and it is a very interesting feeling after being out in the wilderness for so long. We definitely got used to living in a cozy, small space. Our house seems too big now, and we already miss the fresh air and wildlife.
