https://unicatexpeditionvehicles.com/2022/05/18/second-hand-tc45-light-unimog-u2150l38/ This is now an amazing deal with price reduced to €229k. Consider what sells for US$250k these days…and consider what even used ERs go for. Price includes conversion back to original LHD. About the only...

New Unicat/5500 camper on Youtube:

https://unicatexpeditionvehicles.com/2022/05/18/second-hand-tc45-light-unimog-u2150l38/ Only 43500 miles, €259k, PTO front winch, Unicat camper. Apparently price includes conversion back to LHD. Chassis now 25yo. Camper only 12yo. Even if has 6.38 gears, there’s several (3 that I can think of)...

The 2023 Ram 5500 4x4 has an AAM 10.5” front diff, AFAIK. The one in question has 4.89s; I believe it’s an AAM 12” rear and it was ordered with a LSD. Is there a FRONT locker available? I know factory LSD is all there is for the rear. TIA for your knowledge.

https://www.acelatruck.com/trucks/straya Progress in the chassis situation for North America. CTIS and front difflock available (rear standard). 335/80R20s, single or double cab, probably can fit 14-15’ camper with the former. A couple of not so great features: lacks diesel option, uses NP273...

I have no % in this. Mike Sedor in Kenai area, Alaska wants to sell his 2006 U500. About 9000 miles, cab-chassis, all the good options: CTIS, electroautomatic shifting, H02 hydraulics, working/crawler gears. Plus all the little stuff. He says it’s in pristine condition. Camper project that never...

Does anyone know of a reliable trickle charger/battery maintainer that will charge 24v batteries (small) off a 12v system (generally kept up with solar, or else by being plugged in). Sterling’s 12-24v trickle charger is exceedingly unreliable, have been through several. All that’s needed is 1A...

Found these on Vrakking Tires: https://www.vrakking-tires.com/195-inch/75-14r195-michelin-xs-new.html They are 14" wide and 36.5" tall, for about 9" wide rims (single of course). They are new but Vrakking couldn't find a load or speed rating. I expect they would be ideal for Australia - sand...

I am currently about 200 miles northeast of Moscow returning from Mongolia. Yesterday my inner left front portal seal (outboard from CV joint) started leaking. The box holds 700 ML's I had to put 300 ML's in. I have been using Delvac 1 75W90. I replaced with Australian Penrite Full Syn 75w90...

One thing I like to do is plan ahead. So several years ago I purchased a bucket with sealable threaded top with O ring for laundry on the go and a Little Giant 110v pump. It turns out that in Russia and Mongolia gas stations with water hoses are nonexistent. People largely get water from "water...

Does anyone know anything about this surpluser? They appear to have some very nice inventory for reasonable prices - a low mileage low corrosion MTV which 99% works for less than $9K. I know you'd spend more than that with an upfitter doing detailing, paint, insulation, fixing stuff but it...

This might be a nice tire for 1 ton but not F450/550s (due to load capacity = only 4000 lb) to replace 9.00R16/255/100R16 sizes which aren't usable due to larger disk brakes on newer pickups. I.e. 1 tons with Lance campers etc. 37" diameter...

Garmin finally has come out something to match its' discontinued Streetpilot 7200/7500 series. The new one has a 7" screen which is actually visible from several feet away. It takes SD cards and has a video input for reversing cameras. And you can program it with a vehicle's critical dimension...

With the 19500 lb load capacity of the stretch F550 the rear axle tire load capacity of single rear tires has been somewhat problematic. Vrakking in the Netherlands has some 335/80R20 XZE (new) with 7500kg/axle load capacity, more than enough. More of a road biased tread than the MPT81s...

I ran in to Bob Kenny from South Australia with his very nice 1300L with a modified ambulance body for camping. He carries up to 1000L of home-made biodiesel! We were at Windjana Gorge in NE Western Australia. I can't upload the picture because it's too many MB. Charlie

I received an invitation to this international defence hardware convention the week of 6/14 in Paris. I'll try to take cell phone pics of interesting expo stuff. http://www.eurosatory.com/#/home/ Charlie

Has anyone used this? What's it like for countries uncovered by Street Navigators? Like Laos, Mongolia, Central Asia republics. Charlie
