![]() ![]() Two tanks instead of one to minimize water movement, and also still have water in case one tank fails. Dual Water tanks with backup pump plumbed and installed for when the first one dies. Here's a list of some oddities compared to most campers, though our other trucks share most of these. Most of our builds are designed to be driven abroad, but there are a few considerations for prepping the truck for world travel. There isn't too much different on this build other than a little added redundancy. ![]() Hotness! Care to comment on any specific things that you guys are installing in light of this couple's plans to use the mog for overlanding primarily outside of the US? Hopefully it will keep me accountable for documenting the build and get more content about what we are doing online. I'll do my best to update the thread weekly with updates on the mog and general cool AeroContinental stuff. We finalized the design last week with the clients and the first order of sheet metal is inbound. It's going to be another riveted aluminum cabin that will be significantly bigger, lighter weight and stronger than the old radio box.

We launched our brand at Overland Expo West in flagstaff where we ran into a mag (rico in flag I believe) and sold our first build contract, a 1990 Unimog U1300L for a couple that is going to travel around the world. The second truck is a 2017 Ram with an AEV prospector XL package and a cabover on 41" Interco SSR's. So far we have built two prototypes, the first being a 2015 Ford F-350 with a standard cabin, MRAP wheels and 40" continental MPT81's. I can't say I did it on purpose, but I am here to tell you the cabin didn't fall apart. The ethos behind the builds are to balance comfort (within reason) without sacrificing off-road capability and durability.įor what its worth, I jumped my truck at 75mph on saline valley road in death valley and didn't break it. So last year my buddy and I started a company called AeroContinental on instagram), and we are building expedition vehicles with aircraft style construction. ![]()
