So very cool! Thanks you for sharing your adventures with us!

Thanks. I wish some of us were closer in location, it would be great to be able to support each other more. These are huge projects.

Yikes! More than I was thinking. But the cost here in middle America may be cheaper, but if I get quotes like that then I'm busting out the Sawzall. ✂

I'm debating it. I have all the tools to do the job. But I have a smaller Lincoln mig welder with shorter duty cycle, which means I'll have to go slower. I think it comes down to cost. I have no idea how much someone would charge me to do it.

Cutting my Doka down is also on my ever so long to-do list.

Mog makes a very good point, if it goes down, it may be for awhile :(

My rig is a 1224 I imported from Germany. I'm still building it, but yea, it's only going to be for trips. Eventually, when I retire in a few years, I'll be living in it fulltime. Unimogs are great, I'm not trying to talk you out of one. I just went through what you are about what to buy...

Unimogs are awesome for hardcore off-road, suck on the highway without lots of mods, and even then, they still suck on the highway. I went the firetruck route, fine for anything short of hardcore, as they have 4x4/lockers. I do have 'somewhat' faster axles and a turbo. But even with bigger...

OK- Completely off topic: I'm planning a trip to Iceland in late June this year. Wish I was taking my rig, but we are going to rent something. Looking at 10-12 days, drive the Ring road. Found that renting a camper van is going to be $3,000.- $3500. Which sounds pretty expensive to me...

Nice! Thanks for the great pics. Hope to get my rig over to Oz one day.

Nice! As I've been planning mine, it's obvious that it's all about compromises and struggling to prioritize. I concur on the fuel sources, I'm also going with an electric motorcycle and the only fuel will be diesel. To augment that, I'm going heavy on solar and battery capacity. Have you...

Super nice build! Someone is going to be very happy with that, GLWS!

Thanks, I've been working under the mindset of rebuilding/replacing things now while I still have a well equipped shop area to level set maintenance. Rather do it here than broke down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Not that breakdowns won't happen, but if I have the larger...

Holy crap o_O so 12K to rebuild all 4 brakes!? Am I reading that right?

What's wrong with graphic's? I put this one on my arm so I wouldn't get lost.

Obviously, I'm following along here as I have 'brake issues' right now as well. And I'll be doing the same as Heffalump, rebuilding everything. So VERY appreciative of the info Jon. I, personally, am not concerned with it being original equipment.

The instructions I received with the EPC were also wrong ? I ended up taking it into work and having an IT guy figure it out. He confirmed they were wrong, but he got it to work.

Brakes are on my to-do list, setting a baseline for maintenance. If you come across a site that sells the parts for an overhaul ,please share!

If there wasn't a Mercedes truck sitting in my driveway waiting to be converted, I'd be all over this.

Yea, I noticed as I've been trying to track down the leak that is has actually gotten worse, it started out as smaller leak, now when you step on the brake, it really blows hard out of that little hole. Could not find a part number on the EPS, everything but the air canister itself is listed...
