Nice look- did you go to 15's just for a better / cheaper tire selection? Also, did you drill out your grill?

PS Grimreaper your 4Runner is very, very sweet. I'm tempted to fly to GA, buy the Bedford, buy the 4runner, load it on the back of the Bedford, and drive back to MA (where they would promptly tax/fine/confiscate/crush the Bedford sans title)

Yeah I did a little digging and came up with much of the same as you- interesting about the DIY cab extension, though. The bedfords are BIG, indeed. Someone should (assuming they live in a state where this would fly) chop the cab extension off, ditch the hydro bed gear and just build a camper...

someone buy this so I'm not tempted. appears to be a (rare?) doka version of the british military MTs. 8.2L turbodiesel, 425/65R22.5 super singles, scorpion arm hydraulic roll-off bed. try and ignore the bumper. $6500 :Wow1: https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/4322635681.html

We currently live aboard a 9.5m sailboat- there's roughly 100ft² of living space... I'm thinking a 7.5'ish width, so around 13' long should give us the same rough sq footage. add the 7' overhead (6' in some places, <6' most places on the boat) and the more rectilinear layout afforded by the...

In finland, $13K without trailer... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-Other-doka-Mercedes-Unimog-416-doka-/221365271825?forcerrptr=true&hash=item338a65fd11&item=221365271825&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

I'm familiar with the ATW and EC wheels; where does Alan sell his? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WHOA. Scary. I'm still a bit confused regarding how other super singles (which appear to be not backspaced much and thus run roughly in the same track as the DRW outside wheel) would not put one in danger of the same problems? And Mog, I think you may be right about the 16.5s. The current...

Solid advice. Thanks. Looks like it's back to research re-centered H1 wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good info, Mog. How's your FLAK build coming? Your plans look pretty spot-on as to what we're thinking...

Thanks for the sage advice, Pugslyyy. I've been obsessively reading this forum and other sources for about 4 months now, checking CL and ebay several times a day, and staying up too late most nights scouring all over the web for parts, tips, and build stories. My fiancee is starting to get a...

Can one just remove the inner wheels off the standard DRW set up and get decent tracking? There's lots of talk about super single replacement wheels and it seems that if this were the case, it would be much more common...

This is my dream truck! What super singles did you put on?

Thanks for the good info, guys. I'm aware of the problematic nature of ex-plow trucks, and though I'd love to find a babied FG, they just don't happen around here. One of the conditions of my fiancee's commitment to the project is that we buy an automatic FG, and that also narrows it down...

Hi all, My fiancee and I are getting close to pulling the trigger on a used FG to build a custom camper with. Almost all the FG's I've seen here in the NE are dump/plow setups, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how we're going to get rid of the dump body. I've called a dozen truck...
