"Ya got stuck in the mud?"...Nope, truck just got tired and is taking a breather.
#BillEngvall
Finished watching goonzquad and now all that comes out are these trucks by far the nicest one I’ve seen. Can’t wait to see goonz build finished
A dream overland rig... awesome!
TWO POSITION BED!!!
That's what i'm talkin' about.
Missionary, and dog style, all night long.
2 years later the company's website is no longer functional :(
Always use bare hands when holding onto wire rope
Yeah, that really made me cringe. Same with looping and hooking the cable back on itself. I understand it's probably a new cable, and a very light recovery, but following sound winching principles and procedures every single time will prevent accidents.
And spool out a mile of it instead of enough for the hook up and then just back the truck up. That way you get to handle all of it. What else would you rather be doing, right?
@@chrisgleeton6823 what are you supposed to do? What's the correct way to attach a winch cable and handle wire rope?
@@getstuk87 Wear gloves to handle a wire rope, and never loop a cable and hook it back on itself. Always use a clevis or shackle of some sort.
I was a certified operator and inspector dealing with cranes and winches used in the offshore industry. Never use your bare hand to hold or guide wire rope, it can cause lots of pain. Not meant to be critical, just informed...
I too have a little 2wd S10, I know the struggle lol
+Collin Favor :)
Why mess with the winch when you can just pull the guy out with a snatch-rope (a.k.a. kinetic rope) or any rope or chain for that matter? The winch is primarily there to get yourself out of trouble as a last resort.
You seriously need some stout leather gloves if you ping to be handling that wire winch cable,it bites! I would also be reserved about choking a steel wire rope back on itself,better to use an axle strap and keep the wire straight as possible. Cool looking rig by the way.
Ditto !
Plus, I'd have that wire rope replaced with synthetic rope , such as Dynice rope. No whip, no sharp 'needles' , no stretch and a fraction of wire rope weight.
But then again, if a person was to buy one of these vehicles, I guess these after market up-grades would follow.
And kinking the cable by tying it back to itself isn't a sustainable practice. Better to learn from their mistakes! Moral of the story, bring/buy winch accessories and practice using them at home. They never placed a damper on the cable either! Don't try this at your home folks, no safety precautions were followed. Or at least admit you're not safe and make sure not to share it on the Web for all to see.
Precisely !
If you have the finances, almost anything is possible.
My comment on the rope was prompted by those guys handling the wire rope with bare hands and, as Andrew (above) pointed out, one NEVER wraps a wire rope around a tow point and back onto itself. That is a receipt for a nasty 'accident', is it not ?
Andrew Wilson pretty sure that cable can handle winching an S10 on flat ground with cable choked.
I agree with Andrew, I would also keep a spare hard hat, heavy military gloves and eye protection
Honestly, this is my dream vehicle.
It’s so funny at 3:08, it kicked Siri on calling someone every time.
Can you guy's do more large truck's?.
These trucks are part of the MTV family, this is an lmtv. I used to be a 91B and have worked on many of these. The cat engine is rock solid, the rest of the truck is junk. This is an earlier generation. They are much less prone to electrical issues than the newer ones. The ctis will leak guaranteed. They always fail. The interior trim, heater controls will break. Those tires cost around 1k each unless you find some at a government liquidation sale. At Fort Carson they would fail on a weekly basis during the Colorado Winters. The deuce and a half are more maintainable for the average person than an lmtv.
My Yukon could have easily gotten out of that mud and mine is a 2wd it's all about grip and driver experience !!!! I've gone through some pretty deep mud full of water as well and made it out because I know how to drive plus I have all terrain cooper discoverers but planning on putting a 6 in. Lift and 35" big mud terrains should be a beast ;))
There should be an off-road vehicle association to promote these vehicles.
I'll prefer this over global expedition Truck, this is essential and very reasonable cheapish...
But most what I love is that the U shape couch isn't behind the cab area. It's actually behind and has a bunk bed style double bed above it! Which to my TH-cam review experience if watching trucks is by far the best configuration to space. Kudos guys. Someday I'll aim to buy this
Spent the summer in Dawson City Yukon and seen many of these vehicle types.They look very cool with gear hanging all over them!Im getting one!A conventional though
Very nice vehicle you have. I‘m very impressed! I love that thing! Many greetings from Germany!
Would be cool if that table was adjustable so you could drop it down and have even more sleeping space. throw a few blankets down and some sleeping bags and have even more room.
10,000 lbs per axle? Thats twice the GVWR!
Also the tire weighs 350 lbs
Great rig man! Looks like you have a huge profit margin brother. You can get these at auction for like $10k
"simple startup procedure, just turn on the master battery switch and push start"
Don't forget the killswitch underneath the truck next to the air tanks :^) also does this come with a chock block and drip pan?
The interior looked good.
Awesome rig!
also you should have used the 3 axle 6 wheel drive military fmtv for the base vehicle or a Unimog.
john martin zetros would be awesome
+john martin ETL Overland also build on 6x6 chassis with a larger RV box.
sorry but you are wrong the modes for the ctis system we correct except for the emergency mode it is for if you have a large leak it constantly pumps air into that tire to keep it inflated as much as possible to get you back .....I know this because I've been a diesel mechanic (63b) in the military for 14years
You at wrong, because I drove a concrete mixer with ctis. Deflated the tires will hole 35bs of air for driving on sand while loaded at 70,000lbs. If on sugar sand, you can go to emergency mode and drop the air to 25lbs when loaded. In Florida where we are on mostly sand, our trucks have less problems of getting stuck than a truck with 10 tires and all wheel drive.And a truck with ctis does not have all wheel drive. Just the back axles. But all tires deflate, fronts in emergency deflate to 25lbs and rears deflate to 30lbs.
With ctis, the system will automatically maintain air in the tire if the system can maintain more air than the leak lets out, but the icon will appear to let the driver know of a problem with that tire.
Welcome to the new world of computer controlled devices.
+john martin Thank you John
I saw one of these in Banff 2 years ago, its fucking huge!!!
Great video, amazing vehicle, however with the parking brake engaged you should not be applying the service brakes
I'd like to know it's center of gravity for mountain and off-road travel. Does this have a 'tilt angle' gauge ? That might be useful because of the 13 foot height.
+Reg Sparkes That's a good question. We asked about it. The answer is : all water tanks, propane, and such are mounted low (below the floor). Center of gravity is lower than the visual height suggests.
This is good to know, Thanks for the reply.
Re the 'reviews', keep 'em comin' .
Off hand I do not know what the truck body weighs but it is close to 5 tons, so that is a lot of weight to topple. I think each tire and rim weigh ~ 400 lbs.
The army lmtv does come with a tilt gauge
A two position bed and a three way refrigerator.
what about privacy in bed if I want to make out?. Can't leave the kids out in the wild :( :/ :P
yeah but you're making more kids - right ? so whats it matter about the ones you have being lost in the wild while you make out ?
anybody else think this thing looks like an imperial walker?
wow one heck of an RV
Well it has A0 door handles and dash, so unless it has been severely modified, it has a Cat 3116(225hp) or 3126, but not a C7... like the layout, do not like the height, seems like they used a lot of space under the floor that they could have saved with some more careful engineering...
Goonzsquad got me here
ETL Overland is out of business.
So cool!!
Looks like fun!
8 mpg. Not bad considering my V10 van only gets 10-12. Lol
150k is for the built box only, plus the chassis?
Those in the military know the struggle to maintain 60mph.
Nice truck....Austrian Technologie....Steyr 12M18....i love to drive this truck offroad
Damn I can actually afford this 4x4 overland vehicle.
😎👍
ET loverland huh
I'd pay 150K for this over a Pimp-mobile "Earthroamer" @ $450K...!
hankgs as much as I agree with you on that at least the earthroamer has a lot driver cabin. Being behind the wheel of that thing looks rough
A lot better driver cabin is what I meant
goto govplanet.com pay 10k. buy the truck yourself. Then build the box and say 130k, or do it your way.
@@Gantzz321 what doe they typically make the living space exterior with? Because I was thinking about doing this very thing.
@@crzyruskie86 check out "Everlanders" videos he shows most every step in his build.
th-cam.com/video/HY5s0hd9Hh4/w-d-xo.html
I was expecting to see better interior in the cab , is the cab and dash original.
I love it but would it easily topple over??
never hook your winch cable back on to it self
I think they more or less did everything wrong on that winch job. Pulling on the lower control arm, standing next to the winch and as you said, hooking the cable back on it self. It would probably have been safer and faster to just push the little truck out, but I guess they wanted to show off.
Would you know how to put a new window in a driver's door of the LMTV 1078?
goodearlymorninyall!
Global Expedition Vehicle makes a way nicer product, this lacks storage and looks like the interior was just taken out of a fifth wheel camper.. But thumbs up on the video!
TEBO SE and they cost $500k
What is the rated speed of tires? Mpg? What about service tech network for the chassis? What isbthe chassis, engine and trasmission?
Watch the video most of that was a answered
haaha i can only imagine the bed short-circuiting and collapse as you're sleeping...
it would be like you are dreaming you are falling....except you really are !
150k for that?! diesel pickup,toy haulers and a few atvs would be less than that! not to mention get better than 8mpg. holy crap. to each their own
+Andy Hass If you are buying brand new, the things you mentioned will be very expensive. Of course, you could pick them up slightly used for a big savings.
well dah but that military truck is 30 yrs old with a new rv unit. soooo
If you compare it to other similar manufactures like GXV, Earthroamer, and Unicat, you will find that its actually 3/4 of the price of those units which makes it actually good value for the money. Try buying a new diesel truck with a large toy hauler and a couple of ATV's and you will find out that your going to be spending over 150k and still average 8mpg to boot.
Awesome RV box. Kudos! Mileage is abysmal (7 mpg?). Might be better off with a commercial chassis. Fuso, Isuzu...
john hanrahan not when offorading. this is an expedition vehicle not a rv. With those tires I don't know what you expect from it
I love all these people crying about the interior. It's an expedition truck, not a BMW. For the price it's a steal really
What no Gold Mine Hill??? :(
Wouldn't fit between the trees. lol
the European designs are so much cooler and Better made!!
Better made? Bullshit.
What's the top sustainable speed of that rig?
They should've held out for a larger one ;)
01:20 Nope! Being 50 state legal (13' 6") in height DOES NOT make you ok to clear any gas station awning. I've encountered many that are 12ft or less in height. And don't believe the posted clearance (if they even have one posted), because many of them have been hit by high profile vehicles and not fixed, so there's usually a bent piece of metal or dip in the canopy that can lead to a loud, horrible crunching sound when you go under...don't ask me how i know!
thats why winches are better for self rescue
What a sick car! Where do you buy it?
Hi
Is it very top heavy? Looks like it could tip over.
Never seen a truck/overland/expedition truck/vehicle like this 'tip over'...and they're all pretty much based on the same concept, regardless if we're talking trucks from Global Expedition, Action MObil, Man United, UniMOG, etc., etc.,
Love to have one, wanna a trade in
Careful with that winch cable and no gloves.
Not a fan of the interior, kind of a barebones.
David Summers also looks like it has air breaks, or air trailer brake controller. I would have to get a special license for that .
Air brake vehicle requires an endorsement ( extra course) on our driver's licenses here where I live too.
Then again, it IS afterall, a special vehicle, isn't it ?
Alex Kasleder CDL to be exact and the price of it is ridiculous.
David Summers check out earth roamer
It's a military surplus truck. It's not gonna be trimmed out like a King Ranch or High Country. The older M9xx series trucks had over hydraulic brakes and did not require a CDL to operate.
Can't beat the earth roamer but the price is so expensive around $500K
So the guy that pulls up at the end to say hello and talk about expedition vehicles gets and immediate "yeh but yours isn't as good as this". What a total bell end the owner is.
Would love to have a toy like that to take on vacations.
is it a Steyr?
Short answer yes..long answer no..because US military requirements are that 50% is made in the USA..so the engine, transmission, axles etc..are made in the US making it far from the original from Austria..
Agent Covert thanks!!
Wats the name of the donar truck type?
Lesson learned?, Don't winch at an angle unless necessary.
It's pretty sad that my Touareg gets 2 MPG more than that beast (mine gets 10.5 MPG). I love my car, but that's unreal.
The bimobil blows this away. It’s not AS off-road but nobody is doing that much off-road shit. The majority of time is highway and you know it. Bimobil also gets 1000 miles on a tank.
Still think Global Expedition Vehicles does it a bit better. Drawer fridge and freezer (way roomier) and way way more of a range on a single tank of gas.
Eztliz the actual range is above 500 miles if you do the math. He was low balling
This truck,looks like Kamaz.
It's a licensed Steyr 12m18 produced in US for military purpose with US engine and transmission.
The original is way better performing.
Where was the toilet?
I could hear the shame in his voice, 2wheel drive..
to travel Africa you need trucks that can do 1000 miles per fill-up. This is 1/4 that. How is this an Expedition truck, more like an oversized mall crawler?
I hope the drama music during the winch sequence was supposed to be a joke
What's a "dometic" refrigerator 😂
I think it's an Italian brand. They also make 12V car fridges.
It's WAECO Dometic from Germany
would totally pay $150k for this alot better than that $500k pos
I'm ready for the apocalypse
+The Fault in Our Cutie Marks Heck yea!
The narrator LMFAO!!!
This guy is a used car salesman! You sound good man, but you need to do more research on the technical specs.
Regardless still a cool rig for sure
Does the company sell the box separately?
looks like a unimog
So want
Still way cheaper than an earth roamer
Still cheaper than the Mercedes G wagon
be the king of KOA
You act like the bed is something you came up with. Safari was the first to do this in their treks
Looks cool but this business is out of business. Per google it’s permanently closed. I called the phone number on the website and the number is disconnected
so they buy 3k rigs from gov auctions put 30k into them and sell for 150-200k.
It looks like Kamaz.
+Miigaa Erdenetsogt Yes, it does a bit.
@@TFLtruck but it's basically a Steyr
$150,000??? The vehicle cost less than $30,000, especially the year model they have there. 🤦🏼♂️
Thats checp only 150k!
But you can not take it out of the USA!
150k, sounds a lot cheaper than what was it Ozark or that other imo over priced expedition vehicle. seems fair when compared with the customization to a regular motorhome.
8 miles eeek
