Our Journey Continues… Bull Bar and Winch

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

Our Journey Continues… Underneath Storage

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!

Our Journey Continues…Sub Frame Phase 2

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

Our Journey Continues…Cab Phase 2

In RFC Video 15- Cab Phase 2, Lance goes over putting the cab back together since taking it apart to rewire. Though the cab comes with what is necessary, we here at EarthCruiser have a different view on what makes the cab suitable for our clients. For example we prefer to have heated and cooling seats for those long journeys off grid. We also like to add spot lights and air compressors. To find out more about the upgrades on the cab check out the video below! RFC Video 15 – Cab Phase 2

Mongol Rally

The Mongol Rally. An overland expedition across a third of the world, all in an effort to raise money to save it. A great idea, but we have to complain about the restrictions around what vehicles you can use. Just because EarthCruisers break all the rules of the Rally, doesn’t mean they can’t still have the adventure of a lifetime. We have looked at the popular routes to pick the ideal trip from London to Mongolia. Based off what teams in the Rally call the “Central Route”, this route is a bit safer than the “Southern Route” and gives you
