Let’s hope you don’t have a mechanical problem with the Zetros out in the boonies, parts and service will be a long expensive ways away.:B

^^^ Interesting truck may have to look into the Zetros thanks for the suggestion.

….I've been in several Earth Roamers (one heavily customized, and very seriously traveled). Nice rigs.

….why not something on a Zetros?

If you are serious check out this site

Expedition Vehicles

If you are buying used there is one that is listed that has issues so beware.

For me I like Earthroamers, thought of buying one but I would be afraid of using it for the cost. In my opinion there are more rugged choices to buy if you want rugged and there are more affordable but less rugged if you are not needing the expedition capable units.

Living in Michigan, it's an 'expedition' just driving on the roads.

Definitely going to check out Expedition rv in Springfield Mo. Lot more choices when it comes to the chassis.

The earthroamer is not going to be any more 'offroad' then what you have.

Hmmm. I think approach, departure and break over angles might be a tad better. The super C looks like it would bottom out going through a wash.
