I've been drooling over these things for a while, and now 2 barely used ones show up on ebay.
You should see them with the 41" Michilein mil spec tire option on them though.

Well, new they are $210+

There was a guy a while ago spotted towing one of those fully loaded (240k) and its little Jeep cousin (160k) up to AEV for the Jeep to get some work. Man its good to have $$ :).

Granted, I've been toying with the idea of not having a house and roaming interesting areas in one of those while writing code remotely. Almost have it figured out.

I think for the money I would have to go with a nice motor home.

Yeah, me too. I have always dreamed of setting one up as an expedition vehicle. That tow rig that Dan posted in another thread is cool.

A guy I know in Alaska built a Quigly as a trail rig on 44's. It was a hella cool rig with sleeping and cooking arrangements inside. Here are a couple links with some pics:
