    Does anyone know anything about this custom G280 Camper?

    As has been pointed out on P3, there appears to be very little ground clearance for an off-road vehicle; and it also looks very top heavy.

    G 320 wheel option

    Stick with the 16" Atiks. They're the best available. If you really want to go to 18's, I have a full set available at a giveaway price. See here: http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.php?tid=20029&mid=208518#M208518 And they can be carried to Orlando on my next business trip for...

    Petition to change 25yr import rules

    Do you really think the WH pays any attention to these petitions? They've been ignoring others of much more importance and with significantly more sigs than the 100k requirement. If it makes you feel good, definitely go and sign; but don't expect any "shack". It's all "yack" - just like some...

    G500 in Canyonlands National Park, Utah - Nothing but pics...

    Very nice pictures. Having been in the area multiple times over the past 30+ years, I recognized many of the locations; but some captions would have been nice. Bryce Canyon is a long way from Canyonlands.

    FS - Kimberley Karavan

    Available at the End of August 2014 I have made some upgrades to improve things at the recommendation of the Kimberley Karavan Owners Group in Australia. There are several photos of this unit in the bottom three rows of this gallery: http://www.pbase.com/flydutch/kimberleykamper This unit...

    My Goldilocks Camper - Kimberley Kamper

    Just discovered this thread. Very nice to read about my old KKamper and the mods you've made to improve it. Quality and workmanship on those earlier models was much higher than it is now. Ask me how I know. In response to an earlier message in this thread, the guy I purchased it from in 2002...

    Check this trailer out!

    I'm pretty sure I read that the company went belly up.

    Roof rack or roof bars

    You obviously don't know the G. It is perfectly flat from front to back - no curvature. As an aside to the OP, the Rhino Rack bars, while extremely strong and stable, are too large to fit the Maggiolina mounting brackets; and you would have to jury rig your own from the hardware store. Rhino...

    Does anyone have experience installing a winch on a G?

    Update on Busted Winch An update on the busted winch. In spite of their original promise to replace it under warranty, Kimberley is apparently not going to do so; and has stopped responding to emails and faxes on the subject. When I reported this to WARN, they came back with a compromise; and...

    Does anyone have experience installing a winch on a G?

    The top supposedly weighs about 700-800 lbs. The winch has a capacity of 1500 lbs. Agreed on the line snapping or the motor burning out, but neither have happened; and the motor has a overload breaker on it which hasn't tripped either. My gear housing blowout is the first out of about 200 in...

    Does anyone have experience installing a winch on a G?

    Disappointed in WARN I have a WARN winch on my Kimberley Karavan that is used to raise the top. Recently at less than a year of use, while raising the top, it blew out the casting that holds all the gears and guts. See the attached photos. WARN refuses to warranty it, saying that it was not...

    Who would? You?

    Do you have any idea of what it would take to legally get a non-US model into the states? Unless it's older than 25 yrs, I hope you have VERY DEEP pockets; but if you're at Ft Gordon, they probably won't be deep enough.

    Who would? You?

    Improvise, possibly, yes; but buy a new Professional in the US, NO!

    Who would? You?

    Not so in the US, where the OP is located.

    How wide can you go?

    The wider you go, the more strain you will put on the wheel bearings; and the sooner they will fail. Also, you'll reach a point where your vehicle's track will be wider that the trail tracks. You should go to the pointedthree.com G-Class Forum and talk to Loki from Iceland. He has many...

    Black Sidesteps on G

    No signs of rust on mine. They are 13 yrs old and are just as solid as the day they were installed.
