Late to the game but trucks can be uprated legally. My 2011 F350 was rated at 40,000 pounds when I purchased it used. Current 1/2 tons trucks are stronger than trucks built 30 years ago. If your state (the state where the vehicle is registered) allows you to drive the vehicle then are allowed...

I believe that it an 1985 based on what I believe is the Julian date on the seatbelt assembly. The key blank is the same as my 1985 Mercedes 300SD. It runs and drives extremely well. All of the air operated systems work properly. (Brakes, 4x4, lockers) It fairly clean and only has 12,000 Km...

I guess one good thing is it started off as a water tanker so it's very unlikely it was used for much joyriding. The last few years it supported a rural fire Department. It only has about 12,000 km

Long story short. This was originally owned by the US military. I believe it was brought over as a vehicle to evaluate replacing the 1960-1980s era 2.5 and 5.0 ton military vehicles. Prior to purchase I found an article that stated 6 were originally brought over in 1993. This is the second one...

Sounds great all of that is available for the Ford Excursion, Ford e350, Ford e250, 4x4 Sprinter, 4x4 Nissan NV and GMT800/GMT900. It depends how far you want to go. They can all be built, the main advantage of your Tacoma it's smaller size. If you don't need to stand up I would give a...

Thanks

The closest thing would be a 4x4 sprinter or 4x4 Nissan NV. The Ford Transit AWD is very capable and reliable. Not up to date on the new offerings from Iglhaut but they use to gwagon parts years ago. If you don't need to stand up the Ford excursion or gmt800/gmt900 are pretty good large...

Is this just outside or AC with the blue triangle? Thanks

It is a five-speed transmission, hoping to see if six speed options are available. I appreciate all of the recommendations. I will provide as much information as possible once I have the vehicle in my possession. Thanks

I believe the 340cm is the total height of the exterior. (From the ground to the roof) Can you tell me the interior height? How tall can someone be standing inside of it? Is it a Mercedes factory 4x4 system or a conversion and does it have portable axles or locking differentials? Thank you

1 more year and it can be legally imported into the USA. What is the standing height? Does it have a generator (diesel) and bathroom? Is it AWD or 4x4 and does it have any abs or traction control issues? Thanks

I appreciate the responses. I was looking at some German sites and it appears that some of the fire fighting versions had high speed axles. I have owned random stuff like this over the last 20 years. I am fairly good at sourcing parts, getting things rebuilt, or figuring things out. What are...

Hi All, I am looking at 1994 1017a soon, what are some of the problems areas that I should inspect? The km on it are low at a little over 10,000 or 6,500 miles. How do I tell if it has the highspeed gears? The speedometer goes to 125 kilometers per hour. Would some please post pictures of...

I just watched this video and I don't understand why they did use another video to pop the clutch.
