Hello Guys! I need some help with planning this build. I have been back and forth on which small diesel engine to put in this bad boy, but I think the future is in electric I am just trying to determine if the future is now!
I have a good amount of skills and access to most tools including cnc mills and lathes. I want to make it as least complicated as possible because traveling the country and eventually the world would there are not much for replacement parts im sure.
I would love to get a 200 mile range (more would be great) I think 200 miles would at least get me to a different scenery until I could charge the batteries by solar/wind/diesel generator.
I dont need much for performance it does need to pick itself up some offroad trails. I would like the vehicle to reach 65mph and cruise there comfortably
Money is always an issue. I dont quite have a budget yet as I am still in the planning and feasibility stage. Lets talk dollars after we determine its possibility.
as of right now I have zero parts except the rolling chassis.
Where do I start?
