I'm here all week. :LOL:

And sometimes JuJustgottaGo, which is why having a bathroom in the Base-Camp is handy. :ROFLMAO:

Bitchiin', thx! Funny to see the sculpted BMW shifter in there, where everything else is simpler lines.

Great point! Sorry I didn't mention that here; shouldn't have assumed everyone was updated on the scuttlebutt. I'm unsure if the walls will be 2-3" taller, or the Pagoda pitch will be a steeper angle; but I'd think the former as that's a whole lot easier to change. Note with this change that the...

Love the name Howard!

Agreed on the Wrappon toilet in the passenger side of the dinette; not in regards to the placement of it, but the fact that the dining table mount is oriented on the passenger/potti side of the dinette, and the Lagun table mount doesn't allow enough swing of the table to the driver side, to...

The focused simplicity of the Grenadier looks to most likely have a whole lot less ECU/ECM/electronic modules than the new Defender. "The new Defender features 85 ECUs, making the car capable of handling 21,000 network messages at any one time." That's a whole lot of potential for electronic...

Nothing wrong with it, although I'd push back that millions have been tent camping without such for a very long time. ;)

My #001 doesn't have it, as this option was just coming out while my camper was in production. I wouldn't have sprung for it anyways; seems unnecessarily complicated for my needs, even when/if I have dogs in the camper. 2nd pic here...

Yup and yup. For some reason all of the other players have followed 4WC designs for some reason, even OEV, and that has resulted in a severe lack of storage and space to move around. ATO/Tern definitely changed the game on the interior spaciousness with the Aterra.

Is there like a Best of Craigslist button I can press? ?

Might as well wait for W463 G-Wagen's to drop more, spend $30k on one with under 100k on it, and for less than $60k you'd have a solidly upgraded Grenadier competitor. Granted, it'd have 100k vs 0k, have 20yr old technology, too complicated electronic/pneumatic/hydraulic triple diff locks, and...

Yep; why I waited for the AterraXL vs going with OEV. OEV interior feels like a 4WC to me; no thanks, it's an ancient design at this point and not space/user friendly. Why OEV hasn't innovated here is beyond me.

Well duh... ;) PS--I just realized that I hadn't updated this thread with a few new pics. Here ya go;

Wow, this is uber clean, very low mileage, and west coast ownership. Nearly impossible to find one in this condition. <drool>(I miss mine!) https://www.nweuro.com/2004-mercedesbenz-g500

Proof in pudding, right? :)

Agreed. Which is why if there was an OEV SW poptop (much thicker walls than Aterra), with the AterraXL interior, I think that'd lead to even better sales [perhaps both OEV and ATO could profit from such?]. It'd actually feel roomy vs stuffy inside, loads of storage, best 4seasonability, lower...

Personally I don't see how the extra storage (or water tanks) down low near the frame on a Base-Camp is worth twice the price of the others stated, unless you REALLY need a small pass-thru to truck cab. I'm swimming in extra storage in my setup, and honestly other flatbed manufacturers could...

IIRC the 2nd CEL before Owyhees was some bizarre fault code we had never seen before; was after you were hauling the mail at higher speeds up a steep mountain grade. Glad the CEL hasn't returned! Ha, no no no, you owe ME tacos buddy; 12,000lbs of them. ********! Appreciate your kind words, and...
