Hi all, Please bear with me here. I've searched the forums, asked trusted associates, and even SSBC's tech dept, and I still don't have a straight answer. Maybe someone here knows about 13" and 14" front rotors?(scroll to bottom of post for most simplified question) Here's what I'm looking to...

Many of you followed Brad(bknudtsen)'s extensive 2yr build-up of VANdiana Jones(http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/75555-New-E-350-Project-VANdiana-Jones!). Thankfully Brad built him the correct way and didn't cut any corners. It was this high level of build quality I watched, and...

Hi gang, I'm curious if anyone with a '97-07 Ford E350 passenger van (4 dome lights down centerline of vehicle) has had great success with a certain brand of solid/reliable LED replacement bulbs, in order to brighten up the cabin a bit more. I have not yet pulled the covers off the 4 dome...

First off I have to give credit where credit is due. Robert(Oilworker) first turned me on to these Nolden bi-LED's after he fitted them to his Defender; http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/37713-An-expedition-truck-on-portals/page75...

I have searched the forum archives and found that many like the RUD Grip 4x4's for the money ($90/pr for 285/75/16...BFG AT's); 5.5mm http://tirechaindealer.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=125 Alternatively, has anyone used the Olympia Sprints($112/pr)?... 5.5mm...

I finally got my custom Ram Mounts laptop mount setup all finalized and installed(thanks Russ for the final fab work!). VERY happy with their products, and the flexibility their system offers. Fully height-telescoping, dual swing-outs. It's simple to orientate the laptop towards me, or the...

7/17/14 update; If you don't want to read the entire build thread, a current summary is listed in this front page article; http://expeditionportal.com/featured-vehicle-jeremy-williams-g500/ So as many of you know, my 1980 300GD "RadioFlyer" found a loving home with new friends in Seattle (W123...

I'm a newb and just reading as much as I can about HAM 2m/70cm, so go easy on me here. I'd like something such as the Yaesu FT-8800M/R in my rig for longer distance communication, but I'd also love something handheld to take into the field for SAR(search/rescue) work when I need to (read; I'd...

I was in Seattle for the day and while driving down on the waterfront, spotted this amazing MAN-VW 8.136 FAE 4x4 w/ custom camper box. Unfortunately the owners weren't near it; I would have loved to have spoken with them about their travels, their truck, etc. I knew about the VW LT's(cab...

Now that I've sold my 300GD and a few of my other vehicles, I'm eagerly hunting for a W463 G500 and I need your help. Please let me know if you see any vehicles like these. Thank you!!!!!! Jeremy

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-Mercedes-Benz-300GE-/160678472073?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item25692ee989 Current owner has put quite a bit of money into it for repairs needed. He's been diligent with this, keeping the G in good condition. Just had a compression test done on it; 195-200 on...

http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/68339-1980-Mercedes-G-Wagen-300GD-%28I-5-3.0L-diesel%29-LWB-4spd-aka-quot-Radio-Flyer-quot A bit sad to see it go. It's really been a wonderful native Oregon truck. :( I hope someone takes care of it like it's been taken care of so far. I do know...

It's time for me to consolidate from 3 vehicles to one(aiming for an '04 G500 to use as a daily driver and expedition vehicle), so my 1980 300GD (I-5 3.0L diesel) LWB 4spd manual needs to find a new loving home. I'm offering it to the ExPo and G-Wagen community first, before I offer it to the...

Ok, so not so much of a true overland adventure(yet), but we saw some great stuff on our trip from Portland, OR down to Petaluma, CA to pick up the new-to-me Autohome Columbus Variant roof top tent (medium unit, purchased off of ExPo classifieds, thanks Dave!!). It will eventually be fitted to...

http://www.expeditionportal.com/resources/91-guide/351-top-10-used-overland-vehicles.html Not bad. I think if G's weren't as rare(difficult to get parts compared to #1-4 when in BFE) or expensive(purchase, fuel, maintenance, etc), we may have been able to see it move up the list a few spots...

Long story short, an early W463 ('97-01 G320) is going to be the better fit for me to build an overlander (and daily driver most likely) out of. I plan to keep this G for many many years (eventually make a G300DT out of it) so it has to be "the" one. Here's what I'll be looking for; -'97-01...

Looking for a pair of RED Scepter 20L fuel cans. Like the "safety red" in this picture; TIA!

As some of you know, I purchased this wonderful rig about a month ago. Still VERY happy that I did. I've found a few surprises but overall I'm very pleased, especially since the PO(2nd owner) had all the original federalization paperwork/pics/notes from the 1st owner, original bill of sale from...
