    1983 Mercedes Unimog, California, $35,000

    I contacted the seller. It took a lot of effort to convince him to send me current photos of it. It is in Lake Isebela, CA (not Marina del rey). He will not say if it has slow or fast axles. I'm a little skeptical that it has California plates. These are the photos that he sent me...

    EarthRoamer on CL in SF area

    That photo is also from the ER's web site. It seems odd to post something so expensive on CL and then not even put any actual photos of it. I just sent them an e-mail requesting some more photos.... We'll see if they write back. Michael

    We did a lot of cleanup work to the cab interior, but it is basically the stock configuration. Here are links that include photos from the time frame when we were working inside the cab: https://fuchsiafoxexpedition.wordpress.com/2017/03/23/3232017/...

    Hi Jack, That was us at Expo West. It's been a really hard decision for us, but after much discussion we have decided to sell our awesome LMTV. We still want to travel more, but we have decided that purchasing a smaller vehicle might be best for us. The truck is super clean and really...

    A little update. The project is coming along well. We finished all the frame painting last week. It was a ton of work, but it turned out quite nice. We just started cab paint prep this weekend.

    M1078 LMTV expedition vehicle build

    We are making steady progress on our truck. We got the back portion of the frame painted (we made a nice painting enclosure), and we got several of the wheels assembled. It's all turning out quite nice. I'm really pleased with how the silver power coated wheel rims look with the XZLs and...

    M1078 LMTV expedition vehicle build

    I've been thinking about the value of the fuel in our tank as well. I think we will stick with the stock fuel tank for now and possibly upgrade later. I was also thinking of adding a second tank behind the stock tank, but we opted to mount an under bed cargo box there instead. Michael

    M1078 LMTV expedition vehicle build

    Like Coachgeo said, the bed is probblay a bit over 5 feet off the ground. However, unloaded, the frame rails are 54.75 inches off the ground at the back end and about an inch lower behind the cab (the vehicle is nose heavy unloaded). We removed the bed, and our habitat will be on a flexible...

    M1078 LMTV expedition vehicle build

    Like Rebuilder said, the stock truck has no insulation of any kind in the walls or ceiling. There is a thermal carpet pad on the floor, but we plan on beefing it up, too. We plan to insulate the walls and ceiling and put acoustic foam on the ceiling. We will also likely put thermal and sound...

    M1078 LMTV expedition vehicle build

    Update: We have been making a lot of progress and working on the truck almost every day. Our main focus has been on getting the roof rack ready (so we can start body working the cab) and pulling off parts and refurbishing them. The roof rack is about finished and we have started sending parts...
