Definatly going to a blog of some sort.
If it's a box construction from scatch the blog will be how to wing it..LoL
Looks like i'll be buying the truck while in ireland(from where evre then imporing it here as camper) but fitting it out at my parents in france.
As they have the space(big double barn).
And could do with some help with they're place.
So killing two birds with one stone.
I have the capability to do it here.
But having already left to fit the truck out somehwere else will give an immediate sense of fulfillment on the travel aspect.
Plus i will have left all job related stuff behind and only have truck(and parents place) to focus on.



"Do consider the Russian ex-army trucks which can be had with 0 km's from about £2.5k. They are simple to fix (if they ever do break which they don't) and parts are available by UPS/DHL etc. No Roads No Problem really is true for these trucks!

GAZ66
Zil 131
URAL 375 (petrol)
URAL 4320 (diesel)

TATRA is the best off road truck of all but pricey and probably too good for RTW! They can tow a trailer in snow up a 100% incline...

Also from CZ is the PRAGA which are as simple a truck as you can get but still with superb off road and cold weather ability, comes with portal axles, 4x4 & 6x6, air cooled engine and some even have a little wood/coal burning stove in the back! Price new? ...from £2k!

I'd advise anyone interested to visit our friendly forum where all your questions can be answered: ZIL131.com 1 Day Ago 11:05"



Thanks for the info.
But i must be honest they look like hungry guzzlers due to age etc.
And 40ish mph is a little too slow.
That ten mph makes all the difference.
I've found from past trips.
But if i'm wrong on the fuel consumption etc.
I will stand corrected.
Do they still make the zil and 4320?
Any one know they're fuel consumption?
Thank for all imput..
