Hi all. Long time lurker here, and now finally the owner of a suitable platform for an Overland Truck build. Being an ex Dragoman driver, I have them to blame for the love of Mercedes trucks. Having had a selection of Land Rovers over the years, the last being a Cummins powered 101 Forward Control, the time has come for something bigger. We have been 'too cold', 'too hot', 'short on standing room' too many times now. So, with wife as keen as I (especially after I showed her around Spudboy's MAN Crewcab), a purchase was made. As luck would have it a later Mercedes 1222A came up on Trucksales here in Oz. SK cabbed Mercs are not common here especially in 4WD form. I was looking at an older V8 6x6, but it would have been too heavy, too long and involved a lot of work. The one we now own is a sensible size, the last of the mechanical engines, making it fixable out bush, its clean low kms, and most importantly its wife friendly to drive.
Soooooo, here's our 220hp, 6 speed, 4x4 1995 Mercedes 1222A!
