You are welcome to swing by and check it out! Here's the video of 55mph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj5MxT1Nt84&feature=player_embedded

Here's that proof I promised! It might blow your minds, so hold on to something! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj5MxT1Nt84&feature=share&list=UUzJa18EXEHGc5Xt2xG9SAig

I just had the chance to top it out over this last weekend, and floored on the flats in 5th gear it goes 55mph according to my GPS. No idea about mileage yet, I'll try to calculate that by driving it around a bit. Also, when it warmed up it didnt smoke that badly, just normal 1972 Diesel...

I have bled the clutch, and it works great now! I also found out that the tranny is a 5 speed- it has a Krawler gear I wasnt aware of! Makes getting it onto the trailer much nicer. I had a chance to get it out on a long stretch of road, and got it up to 55mph GPS certified. :) Video coming soon.

Nice! any more pictures of the event?

I shot this with a DJI Flamewheel F330 and HD Gopro at 720p 60FPS. Lots of neat footage of Unimogs, Haflingers, Land Rovers and the like! Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuumji2AFwY&list=UU1Q8Dl2oN4yjFp5iCIZXUoQ&index=2&feature=plcp Ryan

I'm going to guess, based on a recent fill up, that the tank is in the 20 gallon range. I'll have to get back to you on MPG, to early to know... I also have yet to max out the speedo, it doesnt work great. I'll hook the GPS up and get it out there! Thanks!

Hi folks, I dont really want to sell it, or even need to, but I have my eyes on another prize! Here's the build thread so far: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/66381-New-Toy-1972-Mercedes-0-309-Omnibus/page8 OM314 Diesel, 5 speed tranny w/ granny gear, dually rear. Windows...

Thanks Mike! We had a great time at NWMF as usual! The Haflinger trials were quite fun! Here are some event pics of the bus, including loading my Haflinger into it: More pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rbgerrish/7828528428/sizes/c/in/photostream/ Thanks! Also, I'd sell it...

Thanks! I rattle canned the whole thing with Kylon OD and Krylon Flat Black. Easy, and I can change it around whenever I like. :) I also just picked up a free RV A/C unit this morning.

Pretty much done! (Well, as done as it'll be for Mogfest)

I've almost finished the paint, and I purchased to rest of the skin to finish the rear door. Diesel tank is back in after being cleaned. Pics soon!

I'd love to take it, but it's not ready to drive, and that's a bit too far away for me. Thanks for the heads up though, sounds like a fun event!

More work- have to hustle to get her ready for Mogfest! Good used tires mounted and wheels painted flat black: Front bumper is black: I should be able to finish the paint in the next week, then reinstall the diesel tank (I cleaned it) and get some rubber mat for the new floor.

It can haul the Hafi in a pinch, it just barely fits through my door. That was part of the reason for making one big one, plus I want a cool table to fold down from the door once it's open. Also it was the easiest method. ;) I've decided on a color! Ignore the ghetto jack stand sitution...

I've found a nice window for the new rear door, and started construction. I also began cutting the new floor. The door: The big swing out will allow the nice window visibility as well as loading bikes or a Haflinger in the back. I've also continued doing to body work. I'm going to...

Well, I've had to slow down on this project due to lack of funds, but I can still make some progress. The new goal is simply to get all the insulation in, new walls, new wood floor, and put in the pop-top. The interior will be really basic. I got all the old floor out: And pressure washed...

Neato! http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/2779298219.html
