I know that TATRA does have versions without all the emissions crap. None of their race trucks use it and I guess you can get it like that, if you ask for it. But the question is not about removing it, the question is: How would you ever get a vehicle registered without it? ;) You can go to a...

Well... if the visa is your problem, then don't worry: The initiall issued 1 months visa can be extended by another 4 weeks at the immigrations office close to Ulaan Bataar airport for $50, no further questions asked ;) @Joaquin: I might have, but already planning ahead to avoid the biggest...

Yep, do it - Mongolia is great! You will need at least 2 months to explore it, though ;) I will go back again aswell....

Just the first prototype ;) No more progress as of now, too many other things these days...

ALso some progress yesterday... finally lowerd the cabin by another 15cm onto the frame, should be about final position now. Some beams and brackets still need to be sorted out, but we're getting there. Even with 20cm more inward wheel travel space in the wheel arches should be comfortably big...

5.99 is th combined ratio of diff AND portal... so it's not going to be thaaaat bad. Our last trip around asia revealed, that 85kph is just about as fast as you can go in most countries except German highways, so that'S the speed the whole drivetrain is planned for. On 37" tires this thing will...

These vehicles are SOOOO different, how do you compare them?! I guess you should rather define your needs first, then decide which one you want. Living in a Samuarai can hardly be called living, in the Vanagon on the other hand it's almost luxury compared to the Suzi. 4WD system of the T3 and...

Hi guys, i started with a new build based an past expriences in terms of vehicle and travel, so after 1.5 years of research and parts accumulation, here we go: tiger2.0 will (hopefully) be the HeavyDuty version of our current tigerbus, which has traveled with us a few ten thousand kilometers...

Are these VDO gauges original genuine VDO? They look like cheap copies to me... ? Waiting for pictures with paint!! ;)

Ah. I think there is a mistake in your thinking... The same weight of water you are going to push UP, will also go DOWN. Unless you have air in the system, this will be in balance and pose no problem to the waterpump of the engine. Unless you are major crazy piping and have too small size...

Hey, can you elaborate on that? You are not going to use the mechnical coolant pump of the 14B-T or are you adding a pump in series to help the flow or...... what? ;) Thanx, .martin

Hiya guys, a small add to the list: TigerBus. "slightly modified" 1988 T3 syncro, located in Berlin, Germany. Last trip: 45000km around asia! Thanx, .martin+sarah
