    Testing the water: 1988 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, G WAGEN.

    I've read the diesel swap isn't as easy on the 2.3 as the 2.8- can you verify? Nice rig none the less, GLWS

    Test drove a D1 5 speed today

    It will take longer to bypass the rear window ECU than fix the existing problem. And as stated above, get used to the nuances as they never end with a Disco, BUT it will likely never leave you stranded- especially being a 5 speed...

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Java, wish I had those integrated lights you have up high- very sweet. I do agree with Mike, the lights up high are seldom used. Sometimes when camping remotely, but mostly at slow speeds on lonesome gravel roads- like Alcan or through Labrador. For normal use, a good set of driving and fogs on...

    '06 Sprinter!! Nice find- and it hits the easy button square on!!

    Hey Mike, yes the adhesive is tough as nails as they say, but time for some chemicals ;-) As far as suspension, it will be tough with this behemoth. It does have the air bags which help some, and I am going to 235/85-16 Duratracs, so I will wait to see how it feels then. They are a bit...

    Yes sir, me thinks so. I have a nice little D-I and trying to decide to stick the lockers in it, or sell them- and the Disco. But I will be there- and you realize rendezvous is the same w/e across 109? Let me know if you want it so I can post accordingly. Thanks

    Not bad really- I would say 5 minutes with two having done it before. Or 15 min if in chill mode. Seems like nothing compared to the Base Camp Conqueror....
