Sorry for the late reply, Sitec. Things have been a little complicated lastly in my country, and I have completely forgotten this thread as the main story goes on another site. I think that you have done good. There is not just one way to go, and yours is the most appropriate for you. It looks...

Hi, Neil: See that susceptibilities are very light around here. That's the current tendency, I guess. Anyway, I understand why you want to change the rocky clutch. I have removed the clutch assistance servo valve with which I got my truck, especially because it was not in the original design...

Hi, Sitec: Well, actually it is a little more complicated than that, as it is not said that the axial torsion point of the frame is at the middle of the framerails, as Steven proposes. Though he is near. That damn spot is somewhere in between the superior half of the framerail and the top of...

What happened to that?

Hope it works now.

Frame flex tests. Dirt road air suspension tests.

Hi, JC: I understand pretty well why you want to swap to air suspension. This things look terrific but the drive is miserable. Why do you want to add torque rods and leave a couple of leaves for lateral control of the differentials? IMHO, if you want to put air as the suspension system for the...

And now? Come on... I can see them from any computer/smartphone/tablet/iPad/juicemaker available!

Hope it works now.

Seems that they appear only when I am logged. Hmm...

Guess who is happy today...

Hello, Neil: Good to know you and Pat are still on the move. The link http://mb-teilekatalog.info/?lang=E&mode=BM&class=4&markt=AG is of great help and you do not need to buy the EPC. By the way, the rubber covers are just for aesthetical purposes as they do not stop dust, water, mud or...

erstwild: I would have been pretty happy too if my rig was moved by electric motors, one per axle, powered only by father Sun around the globe. I did the maths a few years ago with the batteries and the engines available at that moment and more recently, including all the progresses there have...

Hi, Link_cat: Well... adding chaos to your already difficult choice, I would give a very profound look to the dropside 1622 for sale in Vilnius. Looks like they have taken pretty good care of it, from the outside and from the inside, and that tells a lot of what to expect. As Sitec pointed...

Hi... some news.

rubberduck: Great work, and pretty nice looking Mavis so far. Just please don't say that this is a super slow build... makes me feel embarrased. Keep up. Pairoa

Hello, Di0n: First of all, great to know about crazy projects like this. I really love them. Maybe you are afraid of weight and complications about the three-four-point pivoting systems because they almost always refer to big trucks, over 6 tonnes, and big living boxes. Don't be. Just seeing...

Just to say welcome to this particular world. The 1719A looks pretty good to me according to your perspectives, but you are the only one to be certain. Seems it had suffered more from sun exposure than heavy work. The advantage of being in Europe is that you can find spares more easily if you...

The brake issue, despite efforts and geniality, was (is) far from being solved. The cylinder, a brand new one, was disassembled and found that the rubber valves were softer than they would be. A new cylinder, the best European brand and make, was ordered hoping it would be the solution. On...

At the same time, I finally made the air pressure build up and remain stable. The new governor and the double air dryer worked perfectly and cut precisely at 115 psi, as expected. After checking and changing a few connections, filling and purging the clutch circuit, the gear shifting started...
