EXTRA FUELTANK & STORAGE BOX FOR MONSTER

For us the MAN HX60 ticks most of the boxes. A big flaw though is the relatively small fuel tank. Only 300 liters is not much for a truck that does around 30 liters / 100 km, on the highway that is. When we picked-up Monster at the premises of Overland.travel in December 2021, we saw…

RECOVERY GEAR FOR THE HX60

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND0os0-3M58When driving off-road it is very important that you bring your own recovery gear, especially when you have a heavy truck! You cannot rely on others to bring the sufficient recovery tools. Some recovery gear is for self-recovery and some is for getting pulled out or pulling someone else out of a messy situation. We…

CABIN REFURBISHMENT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k50GzVttrTsAlthough the HX60 is a relative comfortable and modern vehicle, it is still a utility truck. Rugged, bold, harsh, very green and no sound proofing or insulation. In short: a real Monster! We are turning Monster into a Mountain Yacht, so we decided to do an overhaul of the cabin and go mountain style all…

FOUR POINT SUBFRAME – OR NOT?

When building an expedition truck a lot of important decisions have to be made. A decision that always provokes a lot of discussion is the million dollar question: four point subframe - or not? Let me start by mentioning that I am not a technician - far from that. So, I do not have an engineering…

MONSTER HAS ARRIVED!

WHOOP, WHOOP! Our MAN HX60 has arrived at the yard of Overland.travel. It is a beauty, brand new and with a winch, just what we were looking for. It came with all the goodies, and very important: the winch controller! We decided to name her 'Monster' for the time being. Yup, simple, little imagination, but…

MOTORCRAFT ADVENTURE DEVELOPMENTS & GLOBAL TRACES

In one of our previous articles you could read about our visit to the Abenteuer & Allrad in Germany. We had a great time, and had a lot of inspiration and ideas for our new build. We met with Tina, Gary and Ian from Motorcraft Adventure Developments and were impressed by their boxes. We agreed to meet…

FROM YACHTING TO MOUNTAIN YACHTING

As we both love to travel in any way possible, and we also like boats we decided to buy a seagoing yacht in 2017. We would use it as a floating holiday home and in time we would sail it to Norway - Iceland and after that to the Med and probably never come back.....…

ABENTEUER & ALLRAD 2021

Once we started thinking about buying a truck and building an Expedition Camper again,we knew that we had to go to Bad Kissingen. Nowhere in the world you can find that many exhibitors together on the Overlanding subject. We ordered our wristbands (four day entrance) and spot on the campsite in advance, and hoped for…

FREERIDER: MODIFICATIONS

The Sprinter 4x4 has served us well over the past 5 years. The build has paid off and there is not much that we would do different the next time. The only real disappointment was the 260AH AGM Beaut battery. It could not stand the cold and had trouble supplying enough power to use our…

THE BUILD: BASICS & INSULATION

As we converted the Sprinter 4x4 in 2017 this wil be a commented photo report of the build This is part one of the build where we will deal with the basic setup and insulation of the Sprinter. We made some unusual and maybe bold choices (using spray cork as well as Sheep wool for…
