I thought Roachie had a unit to drool over.
Check out this
set-up now for sale on eBay for $200K

I didn't spend much time looking at the details of his rig but I get the distinct impression this is a very good example of someone who spent more time thinking about getting out there than actually getting out there!!!

My thoughts exactly! sort of a funny rig actually, pretty much useless for remote area touring due to long wheelbase and lack of ground clearance and height/shape.
Which means you are restricted to forestry roads etc, then I guess that is what the bikes are for to do the rough stuff.
Not really built by a 4wder more lets plonk a caravan on a 4wd.
would have to be running pretty close to its upgraded (hopefully) GVM too.

Yep, my thoughts too
Definitely over-engineered. Nice bitumen 4x4 or Soft Tracker(new word..lol)...a bit like Roachies rig..hahahahaha

You prompted me to have a look.
They even have an orgy room, amongst other attractions.

Perhaps I could send him a case of antibiotics...

Certainly a bit overdone but I wish I could afford it. My bride would be impressed with the custom made linen and cutlery. I am impressed with the whole rig. When I read about all the gear it comes with I can believe it cost $200 Thousand to set up. Nothing seems to be missing except maybe a box of matches, and I doubt that there would be room for them.

Drool........NOT LIKELY! What a useless, impractical bit of gear. Spent far too much on the best of everything & has ended up with a vehicle incapable of seeing a vast proportion of OZ. You see his type at every van
park, kicking tyres playing show & tell while polishing the hub caps. When anyone fits an intercooler where the winch normally goes one has to wonder what they are trying to achieve?
