Dude builds a 3,000 lb sarcophagus to send “Flaming Hot Cheetos” 10,000 years into the future

Also, any truck that complicated is going to break down in the first bit of real adversity it encounters, and he’ll be mighty glad for all the locals in whatever village in Africa he gets stuck near who have first gen Land Rovers to bring him to a hotel.

He wishes that he could brag about breaking down in a remote village in Africa. I found a more recent article on it that includes this passage:

The years he’s been building this monster rig (years he could have spent actually taking his daughter camping in already-built overlanders) and the millions he’s already invested in it have not amounted to anything concrete. As of the time of press, the only time the KiraVan was taken on the road (that we know of) was for the feature included in the video below.

On that particular occasion, it made it for 2 miles (3.2 km) at 5 mph (8 kph) through Los Angeles before it started leaking diesel. Not that impressive for the so-called “ultimate, go-anywhere expedition vehicle.”

The KiraVan Remains the Most Expensive, Impressive and Outrageous Overlander

Also, that monstrosity only sleeps 3 people. Which is one more person than the tiny teardrop trailer that I built for like $1000 and have traveled thousands of miles with.
