Oldmopars Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Last year for the Vannonball Run build-off I did what I called the Ultimate Adventure G30 4X4 van. It is a high top 4x4 conversion of the AMT Rescue van. See here: This year I decided that I wanted to continue and maybe make a series of "Ultimate Adventure" trucks. I am into Overlanding and this is up my alley. This year I will be doing a conversion of the Unimog Fire truck into a Overland Camper like the one pictured below. I may try to convert it to a 4 door if I get another cab to work with. I think I will be doing a box slightly larger than the one in the picture and add a few things to make it mine, but this gives the direction I am going.

iamsuperdan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Awesome. One of my automotive goals is to build me an overlander. Won't be a Unimog though. Thought your van was great. Thoroughly expecting this to be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustym Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I am working on building one of these. Its called a Thor, and is similar to a Sherp. This isn't mine just one of the pictures I am using to build it. Edited February 8, 2020 by dustym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exotics_Builder Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This is neat!!! I just started my first truck kit, the Unimog Schlingmann RW-1. But I am keeping it relatively simple and just doing a rescue/equipment vehicle. I saw the below and was interested, but thought it too challenging for a first going. Will watch this with great interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I have been working on this a bit more and I now have a partial second kit to work with and a 3rd partial if needed. I cut the cab apart and added the section from the second kit and I have also added to the frame to get the length right. This has been a challenge as the cabs have opening doors, so keeping everything straight and true has been tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
