G`day All
Trust all is well in your world.
The rhythm of production is growing , and momentum continues to build. We’re excited to share that our EarthCruiser Builder Network continues to grow — this month, we’re welcoming 365Upfitter to the team.
Like all our build partners they have decades of collective experience, the crew of 365 Upfitter in Arizona brings an incredible depth of practical know-how to the network. They understand not just how to build a capable overland vehicle, but what matters and why it matters.
Working with skilled builders across the country means more people than ever will have access to EarthCruiser quality, service, and know-how, no matter where their adventures begin. It’s another step toward a more connected, capable EarthCruiser community and experience — something we’ve been working toward for a long time.
Vehicles for Sale Page — Live and Evolving
Our updated revamped used Vehicles for sale page is now live and will continue to evolve. It’s the best place to find pre owned EarthCruiser range of products and over time a selection of overland and expedition vehicles . We are starting modistley, but it will grow.
With any recovery gear – Plans and practice replaces panic.
Winter weather and tyre chains – go together like peaches and cream, but fitting and using them is not nearly as enjoyable, even less so if one has never had to use them until they REALLY HAVE to use them.
So have some have some practice at your convenience, not mother natures. Make it a bit of fun, maybe even a family friendly competition with safety as the non negotiable. Create an operational checklist for the “team”. Something like – (1) hazard lights on – (2) confirm and identify traffic potential traffic hazards – (3) who is doing what – (4) Gear check – work light if you need it – gloves, coats ,HI Viz vest (5) begin procedure as per manufacturer’s instructions! Of course re pack and confirm all the gear is ready for next time. Nothing to do with speed , everything to do with calm, safe and smooth. Summer in your part of the world? Practice changing a tyre ( make sure it is completely flat) . See how smoothly you can locate the jack, wheel brace, without unpacking half the truck. These simple dry runs make a world of difference when the conditions are less than ideal — when it’s hot, cold, wet or dark and the world just isn’t cooperating with you.
MOD Slide-In Camper Update and EarthCruiser Terranova
Our MOD slide-in campers are coming along well. Builder partners are busy refining designs and exploring what’s possible — and we can’t wait to share some of their work soon. EarthCruiser build partners know these vehicles are there to serve you, they’re just tools for you to use and enjoy while overlanding, achieving goals and making lifelong memories. The conversations should never be just about “stuff” you can spend your hard earned money on. It should only be about what that “stuff” can and is going to do for you. It is that simple.
If an EarthCruiser Terranova is more suited to your needs, particularly if your beloved adventure van is losing some of its shine please get in touch with us directly. With our mission to make them more financially approachable we have some options.
From expanding partnerships to refining products and building community, EarthCruiser continues to grow in the right ways — thoughtfully, purposefully, and with an eye toward the future.
Travel far, travel safe, travel well.
