"In The Shop" 06: Lance Gillies's EarthCruiser Walk Around 

I'd asssume you just tilt the bumper and tilt the cab like any other cab over truck.

I suspect your right about the bumper. I was more interested in the seal between the cab and the camper, in the cab-through area. It must need to be detached to tilt the cab. Then reattached in a way that creates a water tight seal once you're done.

The Traveling Together Journal I'm not exactly how they do it on this truck, but our walk through fire trucks just have an accordion looking rubber seal around the door/window.

i agree, to see them in action would be cool and they could continue the conversation in the cockpit. also if they have a lift it would be cool to see underneath the vehicles, maybe show the duel 80gal tanks and how they were secured, any upgrades to the suspension, axles or aftermarket armor could be cool to see from a different view.

I also want to know the doug score

I would give anything to see him drive and try to do 0-60....I doubt Doug's face would show joy after that long getting to 60...

Hell, I’d love to see the “quirks” that he would show haha

I've been overlanding Mexico/Central America for over a year and While I don't have any experience with these trucks I have met folks in all kinds of vehicles including some similar to this and I have researched the Fuso Canters a bit as a project platform. If you get the models with the mechanically engaged 4x4 I've heard very good things. The size would be OK, though smaller is always better for driving(and worse for living space). The thing to consider in my opinion is turning circle. It's not impresive, but it depends on what you're comparing it to I guess. Something else to consider is that they will often be classified as a "truck" instead of a "pickup" and therefore cost more on toll roads, ferries, and the like. It's still on my list of possible platforms for my future, global build, but if I can stay smaller and add the comfort I want, I will.

Lance drove the Earthcruiser through West Africa in the beginning of 2018 as a participant of the Budapest Bamako Rally. We were participants too, in our Landcruiser. Let me assure you that this thing is very capable - enough to take on ex-ParisDakar stages in Mauritania amongst other very tough terrain. Lance is a fantastic guy as well!

You are correct! Thanks for catching that.

They wont publish prices so it must be realky yhigh

$200,000 give or take

I noticed that you didn't give a price! Is that because your far to "Ashamed of how much it cost!!!!!!!". That could ONLY be because you consider it to be a RIP OFF!!!!! Let me guess!!!!! MORE THAN 200 Thousand!!!!.

I don't know, but I'll make a guess: $230k

starts at 223k

Eric Hagen thanks for info

It is. Built in Bend Oregon.

Strings and Things although, this is 1 year ago,

your spot on, bit of a longer video but all that stuff would have been great to add in. even what is kept in the outside lockers

Do you care to expand on your perspective and perhaps share your experience of extended, overland, global travel in the EarthCruiser or a similar platform? EarthCruiser may not be an option for everyone, but they have spent valuable time investing in every detail that is very useful and the perfect product for many overlanders.

Expensive? Yes Limited purpose (no good for family etc)? Yes Overpriced? Not really (check RV prices out) Junk? Definetly fucking not! If I had the money this is almost my perfect vehicle, just need a 3rd seat for my daughter.
