Our Journey Continues….Updated Suspension

Our Journey continues on our blog today with how we updated the suspension on our Fuso Chassis for The Rainforest Challenge. Not every chassis needs to be brand new to build an EarthCruiser. For our demo truck we will be using an older model chassis and replacing the suspension. As a result to changing the suspension you will have more capability to travel in remote locations. Check out the video below for more details! RFC Video 3 – Updated Suspension

Behind the Scenes Featuring EarthCruiser’s Rear Winch Carrier

Today on the blog we have posted a video featuring our new EarthCruiser Rear Winch Carrier. The RWC (Rear Winch Carrier) was designed to help independent travelers over challenging terrain feel more self-reliance. We have built the carrier with the highest quality components, like  5/16″ steel construction, secure mounting and accommodations for two 7/8″ shackles. The RWC was designed for ease of fitment for our customers with any existing EarthCruiser vehicle. For more information the EarthCruiser Rear Winch Carrier or to add it on an existing vehicle please contact us at sales@earthcruiser.com .

Riding the Ale Trail

Here at the EarthCruiser HQ, we try to take a break from time to time and have a little fun. This time we chose to indulge in one of Bend’s favorites, the Cycle Pub! We hit the best of the local breweries (such as White Water Taphouse, GoodLife Brewing, and 10 Barrel) and as you can see, we did it in style. The Cycle Pub is a pub on wheels, and powered by the horsepower of its passengers. There’s no better way to bond a team than with a beer in hand.  Especially a Bend grown, brew loving team like ours.

Catching Rays

We are always pushing ourselves to be ahead of the curve and produce the best product we can. Recently we paired up with Oregon State students Corbin Moser, Nicholas Evano, and Ryan McMahon to find ways to get the maximum efficiency out of our solar panels. They looked at the effects of cooling the panels as well as angling the panels to account for the position of the sun, and came up with some helpful results. You can read about their project here.
