Hey Pete, thanks I can just tell you, that for a simillar cabin Marcus would now start charging by 25K€. :Wow1: It will depend very much on the shape, welding rounded profil takes a lot of time...a simpler shape and the use of rightangle profil will make it a lot cheaper. if you ship your...

thanks a lot Scott and Erik. That is motivating, still a lot to do...:coffeedrink: They told me it would be a story about Marcus and the offroad-schmiede and I thought our Toyo would be just one of many examples shown Marcus exhibited meanwhile in Bad Kissingen "Abenteuer & Allrad", we visited...

Hey, if you have to do a lot of "down hill braking" ever thought about an exhaust brake? its on my to do list: http://www.gearingdynamics.com/exhaustbrake.htm

Impressions DLC meeting Have been out to another LandCruiser meeting this weekend, maybe you like to see some pics? camp with friends have you seen this truck ?? The new Bremach T-Rex

that is one of the "secrets"... and no photos permitted, you´ll have to buy one to find out..:elkgrin: but here is the thread where Stefan (the owner and designer) has documented the evolution with some more pics...

a new kind of 80 build dedicated to travelling has just been finished by the www.Offroad-Schmiede.com it´s lighter to go without a hydraulic system and less complicated without the J4 cab...

Sorry, I don´t know, its stock 80. I think all that sounds very complicated, I would go with the 60 set up, that has been proven to work on beaten travell-trucks...

I won´t answer that in public :elkgrin:

sorry I am very pleased with our solution, snow shovels work better then a spade in sand. And I haven´t had the need to dig any muds for years now :elkgrin: If I would go on a heavy mud trip I think I would rather take the (heavy) chains along..

we like the Fiskars best too, they are very light and still tough ! we use the snow shovel for sand though... ...and the foldable for everything else. I prefer the better quality compared to the old german military stuff. Carry two of each, but did´t have to use them for quite some...

Hey Amado, just read across this, so sorry if I missed a point. I would go with the 60 axels and if the width isn´t sufficient add steal spacers front and rear. And I would use both axles in front and rear and not mess around with aftermarket kits. Nice would be to have two strong diffs and...

I think it is the same dutch panel manufacurer Action Mobil uses too, I have to ask Marcus, he got the panels We still have a lot to do, solar panes are on top by now but need cable, Alarm System needs work and the cab inside some more noice and heat-insulating. Also a lot of cleaning up all...

thanks.. :victory: got the Sankey trailer on the road meanwhile ... http://nakatanenga-tours.de is repairing and selling Sankey and other Land Rover stuff the trailer will be used for working around the house rather then travelling or serious off-road driving. To do so, we´ll have to...

http://www.dustdevil.de/startseite.html Uben was the company building the camper-conversion. They knew their craft, building the inside with perfect appearance. ..but they used stainless-steal bolts to fix the cabin, wich used to break...:(:oops:

Thanks, I have seen pics of the combination Pintle/ball, but I don´t think you´ll get the road approval for it in Germany. Hope to get the Sankey trailer by the End of April...

not to me...:sombrero:

...good arguing :iagree:

have you ever been assaulted? didn´t sleep because of fear? thats the situation where misjugement occurs. I don´t shoot people looking at our car, but I could misunderstand the situation as beeing robed again! ... and a gun doesn´t help you....

sorry Mike, A gun can be used to threaten other people, a gun is intended to use to threaten other people, when carried in public. A gun can lead to escalation, as mentioned many times in this thread. It can be used in self defence against wild animals or for hunting but this is not what the...

shot by angry and frightened armed people who were misunderstanding the situation?? :elkgrin: sorry, don´t misunderstand me, I like shooting. I can imagine situations where a gun could be usefull...but I can imagine many more situation where a gun would lead to escalation. and hiding the...
