Thanks! those look good too! Unfortunately the camera was out of battery when I got to the shop, so no pix today. Tomorrow then...

Thanks for the link it definetly looks like something that will work. I'll take some photos today and upload and mail to them also so they might be able to help me. Energy 9-4101 and 9-4102 looks perfect though, but advise from the manufacturer can't be bad!

Thanks for the links Rick!:coffee: I don't think the small plane style approach will work in the long run, of course that will keep us from fighting when we go around the world, if I start being an *** to listen to she'll just take them of! But :rally_guys: is not our goal. the idea of just...

Thanks for the reply! I know how loud Hummers are! I drove a special armoured version refitted i Switzerland in the army. I know about Dynamat and Damplifier, the differences between butyl and asfalt based product etc. But with the cab hard-mounted to the frame noise-killer products are a...

Hi all I'm a rather new member from Denmark, and my girlfriend an i are the proud owners of a Volvo TGB 13 6x6. Well, it's an old army truck from 1975, so comfort was never really in the specifications! One of the issues is noise. The cab is directly mounted to the frame with what appears to...

Looking good! you are a helluvalot better at it than I!

Hey look at what I found: http://www.joter.com.br/novas.htm It tells something about the mechanics that it ís possible to buy that today!

WAUUUUW!!! That is SWEEET! :Wow1::Wow1: :Wow1::Wow1::Wow1: :Wow1::Wow1: I would love to restore that one, too bad it's on the other side of the pond though...

U R more than welcome! :)

Well there are different engine dewsigns by Mercedes, the old OM617 is THE most bulletproof diesel engine in the world! But under-powered... There are a small group of people tuning them to insane HP. A quote from such a site was something like this: "I knew the Germans had hidden the power...

Just to make sure, I wasn't critizising SMT or what they make, I am just not a big fan of that engine... - And I drive a merc as my street car... As you can se below in my sig line. i have a C202 at my shop with a VW 2.4 diesel in it!

I have no idea why the link didn't work. your doesn't work either... just try www.smt.nu you should be able to find it in the left menu anyway. The thing is that that engine is not one of Mercedes best ones, it has a tendency to head-cracking and uses a lot of diesel. This is all something I...

Being a HJ60 owner, I am familiar with the "bits-falling-off" thing... My original leaf springs fell of and all I could find was leftovers from when they make Didgeridoos! Being Danish it might seem stupid to use Didgeridoo leftovers but I suspect they use them as packing material when they ship...

Hi all Very interesting thread! I have driven Unimog 416, and know how much they flex! I have another Q though: We (my girlfriend and I) have just bought a Volvo TGB 1314, six-wheel drive army truck. We are scrapping the original ambulance-box and are going to build a camper-box for it in...

I'll jump in! http://www.smt.nu/default.asp?Expand=13&Display=23 The kit is for a OM603 engine as I recall, but not the ideal in my opinion though... I think it's about 1100$

Hi! No, not yet... I thought I had found one for yu, but it went really fast, even though the papaerwork was lost... I like the drawings too, but would love stating to build it!

Hey guys! Proud new Volvo owner from Denmark here! Well we plan to make a completely new camper-box on our TGB1314, putting a diesel in it and so on. The plastic connnections between the cabin and frame are plastic, not old rubber, remember this is an army truck from the 70'! And btw it is a...

Im looking forward to seeing your conversion, I hope you'll post the proces?

Well were planning a loooong trip in a few years, so we want some more comfort. our plan is: Toyota 1KZ-T engine Michelin XZL 11 /16 tires Camperbox made in Nida-core Webasto furnace w. floor heating Webasto x100 cooktop Thetford toilet compressor fridge onboard computer And of course a lot...

We're not using the ambulance box, partly because of its size, partly because it's quite heavy and we want even better insulation and last we like to build stuff!:Mechanic: But like in this thread there are good examples of campers in the original box, I'm looking forward to seeing your project...
