Well if I have my way it will be in the shops for Easter 2008.
We've lately decided to make it bigger and better than the plain AMH and Sahara format, while covering everything from 2CVs to MAN KATs and all the rest. Like Sahara II, vehicle choice and prep will be the most of it.

I wonder if I could put those san ladders on the 90 if i made them a bit longer..........id have to keep the steering wheel straight while they are in use though
That 6x6 Tatra is a nice truck - well sprung and with great axle articulation - I could live in that - permanantly !!!
Mario - what are you working on at the moment ? - those big 'Star' s at Brenu are worth the drive !!! ....great photos on your website by the way....
Im in Canada waiting on a Work Visa....theres a distinct lack of overland trucks over here... and not many Defenders
Cheers

not really.., the front axel does not rotates as the rear one, and you'll need exactly the same rotation

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
