1994 DAF

🚛 LEYLAND DAF T244 4X4 EXPEDITION TRUCK – FULL OFF-GRID / READY FOR GLOBAL TRAVEL

A fully built expedition truck designed to travel anywhere.

This is not a project or part-finished build — it is a complete, self-sufficient off-grid system, built over the last 15 months with reliability, simplicity and real-world travel in mind. All Products are under warranty & we can offer full receipts of purchase to any products. We currently have over 1000+ photos / videos of the build.

If you are looking for a truck you can leave in tomorrow and head across Europe, Africa or beyond — this is that vehicle.

This Vehicle was also featured in the Germany Marquart website / magazine.

Little about us: Our Family for over the last 10 years have built quite a number of camper / off grid builds. Many under our belt have been Vans & 4x4 overlanders. This one is most defiantly special! We built this not to sell but to keep and travel the world with our family in mind. Alot of builds have been for others and to other customers specs. However this has been to our own families spec and there can be many adaptions going forward. For any future buyer that wanted to make changes / adapt their own style or add on to this truck we would be happy to discuss this with you, please get in contact with us.

Our favorite part of the build - every van we have owned or built usually the toilet/shower room is the smallest space.

🧠 WHY THIS TRUCK

Modern trucks are full of electronics and failure points.

This is:

• Fully mechanical drivetrain

• Globally repairable

• Built for harsh environments

• Every Item comes under Manufacturer Warranty. Most being 3-6years!

• The truck and box paint is easily repaired by yourself without needed a full respray or professional if your taking this off grid and around bushes/trees etc .. the paint can be brushed/rolled/sprayed on.

• Air Diff Lock - if your looking at this advert you may know about these trucks being at the top of their game being used off road, excactly why the British military used them for years! These were designed to haul 4t on the back off road! The saying goes for these trucks - some spanners and a good hammer this will fix anywhere.
