    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    If extremely technical offroad obstacles are your mission, most are just too tippy for an LMTV. But if you just want to get out there and camp far away from civilization, you can get places in an LMTV that others can't. I don't want anyone to read your thoughts, and be dissuaded. I think...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    They aren't as expensive as you're assuming. I don't have a fancy box on mine, but I definitely get out there in the thick of it, just sleeping in the covered cargo bed. And I don't see how it would be significantly different than a Unimog. Most of the cost for the camper-body vehicles seems...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    It's all the tug-of-war between Cost, Quality, and Time. If you have the time, you can scrounge a lot. Most people are going to have to pay a lot to get what they want, without taking a decade to gather everything up. You just need to be realistic about what you're going to be able to put...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    While not bad advice itself, it seems like that's the least of the problems considering almost nobody makes it past the bigger obstacle of years of building up the truck and $100k investment.

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Cost, Quality, or Time... you can only pick two. That leaves only 3 courses of action... You can hurry out onto the road, and not pay to have the truck looked at. Fast, cheap, but low quality. You can hurry out onto the road, and pay (a lot) to have the truck professionally rebuilt/repaired...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    It doesn't look like you can even see the site, let alone search, without an account. Those people are all actively living in the LMTV RV full time?

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    That still makes it sound like there are numerous people out there who are "in the season". Do you know of anyone else besides Seth?

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Sure, but I think the question going on here is, "Is it the road LESS traveled, or the road NEVER traveled?". Seth (Adventure Driven) was the only person I knew of that was actually driving around in an LMTV, his was fairly modest (just an interior in an M1079), and even he is hanging up the...

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    I'm curious to see where this thread goes because, like you originally pointed out, there are dozens and dozens of ambitious build threads that start out, but I've only seen a couple that got to a point where they were done and driving around at all. (That's exactly why I just keep mine as a...
