The exhaust brake is probably quite effective on a bare chassis. On a fully built out 917 it will require slow descents at high revs to hold you back. I am guessing it is the 12' wheelbase. Our MB 917 had a 12' wheelbase with an 18' habitat. Very stable with a great turning circle.

Thanks Joe. That’s why I like the standard transmissions. When I drove her from Halifax to here, she was a firetruck and weighed 7.1tons. The hold back was very good, just need to choose the correct gear.

I see from the pics why you puller the gen and winch!!!!
They are both huge! ( winch cable capacity looks small too?)

Beautifully engineered...but yeah damn heavy. My original plan was to build her out under 7.49 metric tons. This alleviates a bunch of licence requirements in Africa and Europe.
