The hardest part of a tire change is lifting a tire that is flat on the ground. Always lean the wheel, after that with a shovel and a long pry bar, getting the wheel on is all skill and leverage.

hard to tell from the picks, does it have the full floater rear axle?

Greasing for our 1993 917AF was every 5000km. So at each oil change and then 1/2 way between changes. Grease nipples on; top and bottom front wheel swivel housing + 3 on each drive shaft. Grease cups; for clutch on top of transmission, alternator. We had a front end alignment done in Chile when...

You don't have to take smaller pics, just resize them. In Windows, open the folder the pic is in, right click on the thumbnail, click "edit" (not edit with photo), click "resize" (upper left) click "pixels" enter "1080" for the long side of the pic(a good size for the web. "save" will overwrite...

Look for "Russian Birch" or "Scandinavian birch" plywood. It has many more plies than spruce or fir and is far more durable. Cut it to fit then layer it up with West system epoxy. Forget 40 years, it will outlast you! Bond it in place with 3M 4200 or 5200.

Sounds like you need more solar, We lived full time with our rig 7 out of 9 years and only plugged in twice (when the truck was inside). Leave the EV chargers for the EV's.

Tire diameter just over 3'-6". 20" folding rack high on rear for lightweight stuff. After Canada there have been many repeat visits. The First owner had the motor home professionally built on a brand new MB917AF chassis and lived in it full time for 18 years. We completely overhauled the truck...

Do not put words into my mouth. The thread is about the long folding steps Neil pictured.

I have to say that style of step is an absolute deal breaker for me. They stick out way too far from the truck. You can't deploy them when parked on a street, they will block the sidewalk. It takes a bit more work, but a two step well inside the vehicle means you only need one or at most two...
