Today on the blog we will be introducing our new GZL Series. We’ve been getting lots of request for more information about the GZL. So we thought this would be a great opportunity to do a short video series. Throughout the video series Lance will go over the inside and the outside of the GZL. In GZL Series Video 1 Lance talks about the basic structure of the GZL and how it fits to the 2016 Toyota Tacoma. Check it out below! GZL Series Video 1
The day we all have been waiting for is finally here! In RFC Video 24 we reveal our EarthCruiser demo, as it is being loading into the shipping container. The demo has shipped out of Seattle, Washington and is now on its way to Malaysia for The Rainforest Challenge. The race will take place November 24 – December 5th. Keep following along as we will be posting videos and pictures from the race. RFC Video 24 – EC Demo Reveal
The final phases of the cab are completed in RFC Video 23! Lance and “Genius Karl” discuss the components that need to be finished before shipping our demo off to Malaysia. They go over adding the custom seats, 110 v outlet to the center console and hooking up the cameras. For more information check out the video below! RFC Video 23 – Cab Phase 3
In RFC Video 22 Lance goes over the bull bar and winch. As the official command center for The Rainforest Challenge both the bull bar and winch are a must have. We will be assisting racers get out of tough places in the race. Normally we use steel rope which is very strong and low maintenance. But since there will be a lot of winching and mud we are going to use plasma rope. Check out the video below for more details! RFC Video 22 – Bull Bar and Winch
On the blog today we have RFC Video 21 – Underneath Storage. We cover reasons why we build the locker doors and access hatches the way they are. As explained in the video, the storage on the left of the EC has a locker door that opens up. The reason for this is because there is no awning on the left side. But for the right side which has an awning the EC the locker door opens down, making it into a small shelve. To learn more check out the video below for more details! RFC Video 21 – Underneath Storage
On the blog today Lance goes over phase 2 of the sub frame. He talks about the little details like having the side skirt on hinges and why that is important to have on an EarthCruiser. He goes into detail on the kinetic mounting system, which allows the chassis and the body move independently. To find out more check out the video below! RFC Video 20 – Sub Frame Phase 2
RFC Video 19 – Small Details is short, sweet, and right to the point! Lance goes over a couple small details about the water fill port and storage hinges. There is also a sneak peek of the finished truck, check out the video below to see! RFC Video 19 – Small Details
On the blog today we get one step closer to the demo being finished! Some of the final tasks involve putting all the components together. As Lance would say, “having the truck talk to the cab and the cab talk to the truck”. In the video below we talk about why we like the cab over truck when working on the engine. As well as going over attaching the actuators and bellows. Watch the video below to find out more! RFC Video 18 – Putting the Components Together
Every detail is thought through in RFC Video 17 – Spare Tire & Tow Bar. In a previous video Lance talks about Toyo Tire for our trucks. He continues to discuss this but in more detail on the tire winch. Next he continues to the tow bar, explaining reasons why we specifically have it made and attached a particular way.
