WHAT??!! Now you tell me. :sombrero:

Thanks for the elaboration. I knew that, of course, and should have made the distinction myself. I'd just wanted to point out that, contrary to his/her belief, Aardvark7 could advertise here without fear of negative commentary from the peanut gallery. Poking at the looks, pricing or other...

Certainly a valid point, but pretty harsh. You have to understand that ExPo has been around a long time and has had a lot of growth in the past couple of years, with a lot of new people coming here from other places where the negative opinions from non-experts are more widespread. It's an...

You should have moved out west for the winter. Nothing like an epic warm spell to help the motorcycling. I've been out about ten times as much in the last three months as has been my Portland norm. Oh, well, it'll be warm soon, even in the Upper Midwest.. :sombrero:

You are correct, sir. This is a great rig, but I wouldn't count on any legal way it can come into the US. Non-NAFTA Sprinters haven't passed either NHSTA crash testing or EPA emissions certification. There are occasional opportunities to get younger vehicles imported into the US, but it required...

Did the comment about the 1/4" crown staples not being ideal mean that they were too short, or that there is a better way to do the fastening? What would you think is the ideal way to fasten the cover down? (I'm curious re: my DR-Z's seat.)

Yep, sure does. A good candidate for the Repetitive Post Championship. Here are the four most recent ExPo threads for this truck: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/134834 http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/134188 http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/132672...

I love it when Tennmogger checks in here with his wisdom. Saves a lot of us less qualified, less veteran Moggers from writing up our opinions. (Hiya, Bob . . . Hope it's all good with you. :) ) I second everything he said, and would add the one thing I usually tell people . . . a small Mog in...

My post above was being typed just as Unirover's got posted, so that's why some of the information is duplicative. But he has provided what appears to be much more up-to-date information, whereas mine is based on the experiences I had importing Camper Mog years ago. The biggest difference would...

Working with the shipping company and customs was a hassle, but not the ultimate hassle. If you use one of the small number of RoRo shippers--I used Walenius Wilhelmsen Logistics--they are used to all of the procedures and will likely have your paperwork in order. And if everything is complete...

Yeah, me too, and I kind of blew it. Some dealers were giving very good deals on them when they were new but non-current model years, and I even went to look at one and then didn't move on it. Now, as with all "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" things, they cost a lot. But I still...

For sure. And since it's already "full-sized," you might as well go ahead and put a nice big cushy cabin on the back, as Unicat did a few years back: The impressive specs and more pictures are still available here: http://www.unimog.net/sales/unicat-tc54/unicat-tc54.pdf, (worth a look if...

Nicely fabricated. Looks the business, too.
