Cool truck. Still think CP. I'd rather have a pickup conversion for way less and added reliability.

Super cool, but it does seem steep.

you mean a pickup truck camper? yeah, me too. Powerwagon with camper shell makes a lot more sense.

yeah, but at the same time, what would it take it do it yourself. Its so hard to judge value on these things.

Looks like he dropped it to $38000, I'd have to go through it in person as he hasn't listed anything else done to the truck. No point in paying $38k and having it blow a head gasket on you or having the front prop shaft make a hole in the transmission.
I'm 50/50 for NPOCP.

But the thing about a camping/expedition type vehicle is that most people will be looking for function over form. You can get just about as much function for half the price or lower.

Whats a high 70k mile disco go for these days? that would be a good reference point to know.

The EXPO crowd is more about style that you would imagine at first glance. Its surprisingly important for some.

I'm... almost positive I've seen that Defender. Three French people were driving it through Australia (perhaps it was just a similar one).

It's a cool idea, it's definitely different, but it's still a Land Rover Discovery. This might be $42k if it was build on a Toyota...

Yeah one of these deals. Wouldn't even be that much bigger than the disco and you could remove it to use the truck bed when needed.

HA! yeah. Though I think the Disco is a fine machine, up to about 100,000 miles.

I think I would go chassis cab and customize the camper base. If im going in im going ALL in.

Yeah then you could get a heavy duty model with a solid front axle. In an ideal world buying all new stuff I'd do the same. I was just doing a hypothetical for $42,000 sort of exercise.

Its always the French.

You have made me think about this way too much though. ripping the bed of a powerwagon and uprating the suspension to fit a custom cab is now all I can think about.

Around $6-9k depending on condition and who's buying it. Anyone who has done their research wouldn't drop more than $7500 on a Disco in decent shape and that millage. I honestly don't see this camper going too quickly.
The more I think about it the more I feel he'll probably have to drop it another $10K in order to move it.

Would be a tad bit long. I'd get a dodge 2500 2 door chassis cab with the cummins and 6 speed manual. Lift kit, front bumper, winch, and air lockers. No need for a power wagon if you are going to mod the suspension anyway (although that disconnecting sway bar is pretty sweet). Plus you cant get the cummins with the power wagon.

Run for the hills - late Disco motors are all dying from internal corrosion, slipping sleeves and general crappy construction - this is not the adventure you are looking for....
