    Did Hammarhead Industries go under???

    Looks like they were reported to the Better Business Bureau and now have an F rating. Craziness.

    Did Hammarhead Industries go under???

    I am beginning to think that something went wrong and they are no longer in business. Both their facebook, and blog pages have not been updated in months, their online store is shut down. And some of the pictures on their facebook page have comments about how Hammarhead took their deposits on...

    M416 trailer build question

    We went through the same thought process, but another thing that we considered was the title issue. In PA you need to have a titled trailer, or you need to apply for a home built trailer title which can be a pain. Most M416s we have found for a reasonable price only come with a bill of sale, no...

    What to look out for when buying a 404S?

    Here is the ad: 1965 Mercedes Unimog S 404. Low mileage. This has been parked for awhile and will need a little fine tuning to get it started.... battery, clean gas, etc. - Runs great. No problems. Back was gutted. Originally was used as a fire truck. Asking $5,500

    What to look out for when buying a 404S?

    Considering that it will no be running, are there any portal/transmission checks I can perform by jacking the front or rear axles up? If so can your guys provide some instructions? I am going into this knowing it will be a project, but I just don't want it to turn into a costly one. Cosmetics...

    What to look out for when buying a 404S?

    Hi Guys, I may have a line on a 404S for very cheap. I have not owned one before but read a bunch about them. What should I watch out for? Where do these things rust? This is a mid-60's 404S, with a box on the back. It has been sitting for a while as well. Gas motor, not running (needs fuel...

    FS or Trade: Triumph Sprint RS or Enfield Bullet 500

    Hi guys, I am looking to change up my collection a little and I would like to trade for an adventure bike. Ideally I would like a lower miles BMW 650 GS Dakar, or a KTM, maybe even a KLR or a Ural 2WD. May consider additional cash for the right trade. Available for trade I have either a 2002...

    WTB: RTT

    My Brother and I are running new Eezi Awn RTT we just got in. I have a 1600 for my JKU and he has a 1400 for his FJ Cruiser. If anyone wants to come and check them out they are more than welcome. We are located just outside of Philadelphia, PA.

    steel wheel opinons

    I also loved the Overland JK, which inspired me to find a white Rubicon Unlimited. You just can't beat the look of the white steel wheels. It is like the American counterpart to the Land Rover 110.

    JK Overland Project: Expeditions West 3.0

    The Overland JK lives again in the pages of Overland Journal for one last time. Great issue, great vehicle! An inspiration for my JK and I am sure a lot of others.

    An ARB RTT would complete the ARB Mod list :)

    My M416 Expedition Build Thread

    Some good progress so far on my brother's (WCFJ) M100 trailer as seen from his photo and progress posts. I think that my M416 floor may be salvageable, in which case a good blasting of the tub will the bulk of the work there. I have to patch one hole in the side of the bed near the front drain...

    Sheetmetal to build your own trailer

    Did you build those fenders? They are exactly what I am looking for and would love the dimensions if possible. They look a lot like the AT Chaser fenders which I love, but they are a little pricey and I am going to try to make my own.

    Home built independent suspension?

    Too bad their kit is $1900 AUS and then shipping would kill you too.
