Well - so do some Yankees ... but it may take the Yanks $1.5 million US to do it :) :

Very bad choice. Original company went into liquidation. Dick Smith who tried to drive an Earth Roamer on a F550 Chassis had massive problems with tbe F550 and the EarthRoamer. He eventually broke down in Mongolia. Projects was backed by Ford and Earth Roamer, but whole project was a major disaster
FWIW, the Earthroamer in my earlier link is their HD model - not the model that broke down. The HD model is based on the Ford F-750 chassis ... which is a whole different level of toughness than the F-550 chassis. :)
Again the F550 that was used was officially backed by the Ford Company and EarthRoamer and both had severe problems. Getting parts in that part of Asia was a major problem
