Expedition HQ or XHQ (Gold Coast, Qld, Australia)

I was surprised you fitted the tow pack and a roof top tent.
Even more surprised that you also have the Letech platform, plus the roof top tent plus a hybrid van.
Any reason you went for a tent plus a van?

That build is NOT my car. This is my car:

I always slept inside the car. Now moving to a hybrid van. I have no rooftop tent. I was just working out what went into that build by XHQ.

Some nice gear on that build but not really well thought out for some of it
One example side bars for serious off road use but no rock sliders just stupid electric side steps, I don’t get that at all another very questionable design decision was the maxtrax and shovel inside the car, anyone who has done proper 4wding or touring that needs half the gear they have will know dam well that won’t work in the real world.
I also wonder what the GVM is now like without an upgrade or has been done?
That what I dislike , love the rest of the fit out and the side pods are an awesome bit of kit.
An fantastic tourer for someone

I think it looks more like a demo vehicle than a real tourer.
Agree on the Max tracks and shovel location if you have been recovering from mud I wouldn't want them to go back inside.
If you are going to put that very heavy tent up top then there is no need for the full Letech platform. Unless planning on taking the tent off for day to day.
The two combined would be over the 150KG weight or close to it.

I just went back and re-read the whole thread.
Makes more sense now.
I like that little van of yours.
