Oops! It does have driver and passenger seats, I had them removed in order to clean up the cab.

I am selling my Toyota Landcruiser Troopcarrier. She runs like a dream and is in great condition. This is a unique Troopy with a high-top installed professionally in Australia before import, allowing for ~ 5'11" of standing room. Most of the major rust repair around the gutters/top and...

Great! Could you grant me access to the photo album? I'm not able to see it.

Is this camper still available?

Day 2: Undercarriage Clean Up Today was pretty brutal. It was 90F in Bend, Oregon and we spent the day under the truck with an angle grinder and cans of rustoleum rust former. Knocked most of the rust off and was able to paint the rear axle / springs. We'll need probably another day and a lot...

I haven't lifted the motorcycle yet. I'm waiting for some steel to show up which I'm going to turn into a spreader bar.

Oh dang, I'm glad I asked about the air. I was thinking it just was what it was type of thing. I was poking around some of these main arteries going to the brakes and I noticed the tubes are brittle. Once I get my bearings around that air system I'm going to just sprits the heck out of it with...

Thanks Heather and Jon, you guys have been so helpful along the way! Enjoy the Jaguars!

Brakes My initial thought is to tear the brakes apart and refresh them all around. This'll be near impossible I'm sure lol. I don't really know enough to know if I see anything concerning. The lines are all feeling somewhat brittle but I haven't identified any of the critical air lines yet...

Center Diff (cont'd) I think if I replace the following gaskets the center diff will stop leaking. Rear diff Not exactly sure if anything is needed here. There's a leak coming from the back of it but EPC doesn't show a gasket. So that makes me worry a little. It's marked in one of the...

Hey all, We recently purchased a Mercedes SK1824 and are creating a laundry list of maintenance items. This list is ambitious, and honestly so far it's not going great hahah. I have access to the EPC and WIS. The EPC is super helpful, the WIS not so much. I don't know if it's operator error...

So I get that when you lock the rear diff both rear tires spin together with equal power (even if one loses traction). What does the center diff do?

Thanks Joe and Neil! I was definitely becoming very nervous on some downhill segments.

Hoping to piggy back on this thread... I have a 94' Mercedes SK1824 (just bought it). There's a circular button behind my left foot on the floor. I think this is the jake brake. I drove the truck from salt lake city, UT to Bend, Or this past weekend. I had no idea how to use the jake brake. I...

For what it's worth I just ordered a bunch of parts from https://spareto.com/ and https://woxparts.com/ Between them I was able to find all the parts required for my SK1824 with OM401LA. I tried to order from https://www.carparts-pros.com/ . They had literally everything. However I submitted...

Reviving this thread in lieu of creating another... I download the WIS/EPC. I'm after the shop manual, the how-to document so to speak. So I downloaded the WIS thinking this would be the way. However I'm having issues finding information which is specific to my truck. Process- 1. Entered my...

Hey all - hoping to revive this thread to get some input on a vehicle I am considering purchasing. My fiancé and I are based in the US, but have world travel ambitions. The truck we are considering purchasing is an extremely capable expedition vehicle, so that box is ticked, but the overall...

Not rocket science but it's made finding people capable of the job a lot easier when I can explain how it's typically done.

Here's the free advice I've found so far today. So here's how they shorten the Doka cab. Cut line 1 - Removes the crew cab and leaves an extended cab. Cut line 2 - Creates the end cap. The end cap is welded at cut line 1 to close off the cab.

I'm in the process of building an expedition vehicle out of a Mercedes Benz 1224 AF (old fire truck). The vehicle comes with a crew cab (known as a Doka cab in Germany). The cab takes up too much space on the chassis for my build. I need to have it chopped at the rear window and resealed. Is...
