    New Mog Life

    Those lights sure look good. I've been considering an upgrade for a while. It's on the list of desired upgrades. Michael

    The counter top turned out awesome! It's really coming along nicely.

    Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 CrewCab Expedition Build in Canada

    That looks cold. What temp did it get down to, and how did your Planar heater do? Michael

    Those are cool steps. I haven't seen those before. The way that they stow away is great. In some applications, it would be cool to have a bench seat that works like that. The top of our bed platform is 26 inches from the floor. So the top of our mattress will be about 34-35 inches from the...

    Bigger tires...go faster?

    That's what I like about it. Its an overdrive, an underdrive, and you still have the stock ratio.

    Bigger tires...go faster?

    I think on a mog, the best place might be between the clutch and transmission. It might fit and the torque would be the lowest. It would be neat to get a three speed with crawling, 1:1, and overdrive. I'd pay a good bit for something like that if it was reliable and easy-ish to put in. Michael

    Bigger tires...go faster?

    That is interesting. On our U1300L, the shaft between the clutch and the transmission is actually pretty long. I bet something like that would fit. Michael

    It is looking so good! I like all the glossy panels. I think that was a good way to go. As a side note, your box looks so much roomier than ours. It's amazing how a little more length changes the look of the whole interior volume. Michael

    New Mog Life

    I'm sorry to hear that you had to get assistance, but I'm glad it was a simple fix. I think I'll go check to make sure that we have clearance between the compressed air line and the fuel pump on our truck. 350 liters of fuel for 2200 km is about 14.78 miles per gallon That's good mileage...

    2017 Australian Unimog camper for sale.

    That's interesting! I think I'd keep the mog, but it would be a hard choice. Also, if I lived in such a nice place, I'd probably travel less. Nice land!

    Mercedes LAF 1113 B family truck

    That is such a cool vehicle to build from. It will be a lot of work, but it will be really cool when finished. I look forward to seeing it transform. Before settling on our current Unimog, we very briefly considered a Bedford. I always loved the classic sheet-metal curves of older trucks...

    Thanks for posting that Neil. It's very interesting to see. Michael

    Unimogadventures - Our build and travel thread

    Your new seats look really nice. We just finished putting in new seat a few weeks ago as well. I was curious how you mounted your seat belts. Are they attached to the seats or the threaded holes at the base of the rear wall? Our seats came with seat mounted belts, but we also have the...

    I know how he feels . What a nightmare

    Poor guy. I hope his rig isn't too messed up. I sure hope we never do that with our Mog. After what happened to you guys earlier this year, Neil, I am super paranoid about how soft the shoulder of the road can be. It always surprises me in photos like these how mild the road seems, but I...

    Opening wall ideas

    I always thought that those large opening walls on the Bimobil were pretty cool looking. I wonder how often people actually use them, though. It would be neat to hear from people that have them. I bet there are as many opinions out there as there are trucks. It probably just comes down to...

    New Mog Life

    That looks good. I would really like to add a system like that, too. It's on my long list of future upgrades. At what location did you tap into the truck system?

    New Mog Life

    Your winch looks very nice enclosed in the bumper like that. The winch on our truck is mounted on the front of the bumper and looks a little odd. Michael

    New Mog Life

    We have a 18 Bar system in our truck, and I just got a MANN TB 1374/4 1703 cartridge. You might want to check the spec sheet for the cartridge, but I think it removes some oil as well as water. I think the 18 Bar dryers have a larger (M42x1.5) thread on the cartridge than the lower pressure...

    Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 CrewCab Expedition Build in Canada

    That would be great. We will gladly take you up on that offer if the timing of our travels works out.

    Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 CrewCab Expedition Build in Canada

    That's a beautiful lake camp spot. After camping a lot in a roof top tent, I look forward to having a nice cozy place to stay like you have. Michael
