You are posting in the right place, the only problem is that times have changed. A decade and a half ago, there were all kinds of folks "tinkering" on their adventure rigs (Mike & myself included), now not so much. My guess is there are several factors why, the cost of fuel, the availability...

I have recently learned on ExPo that some people do not like people sharing their opinions & advice on their threads. If that is the case with you... Just let me know and I'll delete this post immediately. I was curious because I have a PTO attachment for the transfer case in Casa Azul and was...

What are you going to use your PTO for?

Brilliant! Just another unfinished project to grow moss on in your back yard!:LOL:

I am pretty sure old Mog is "pulling our leg's" AGAIN!

15% percent premium, OUCH! And knowing how auction houses work, I bet you were also bidding against a shill or 2.

First off let me compliment you on your post honestly explaining the situation with your company! That was "Big Dog" strait up! I also wish you the VERY BEST of luck at success! From my 43 years of designing and making "things" for a sophisticated clientele I've learned: Designing & making...

WOW, that is some "killer meirda" Enestro!!!

I use that matting in my shop, shower bay in Casa, my Jeep camper, and the foot wells of our "daily drivers". FANTASTIC STUFF! Easy to "carve" and if one is creative can be formed by wiring your cut pieces together with aircraft safety wire. Also easy to clean by pulling from vehicle and...

👍ABSOLUTELY KILLER GREAT TRUCK! 👍 If I didn't have my F700 4x4 ( with built 6BTAA, top shelf driveline and wheels) I would buy this truck in a "heartbeat"! Best of luck with the sale... Somebody is going to get a REALLY good foundation to built "world class" adventure camper on!

Sorry, I am a little confused. Could you be a little more specific?

I honestly know next to nothing about Mercedes MED-HD trucks, but know about DOD testing of equipment because of designs I have done for them. They beat the living crap out of equipment!!! I would try to find specifically, a Mercedes truck mechanic to help you! What may seem like a minor...

Do please! Thanks in advance Charlie!

JUST SAY NO! To CRACK! It detracts ones attention into building your KILLER PERFECT RIG (wink, wink, nod... your well service truck) and it clutters the yard and probably piss's off your wife (it sure does mine). ! Not that I am the one to preach! Hey Shortbus, please post up more pictures of...

I suspect that your truck has stud rather than hub pilot axles... If that is the case then it is VERY IMPORTANT that you chamfer the holes on the inside of your M35A3 rims for your back axle and spare!!!!!!!

LOL! Illegal alien migrant farm hands make AT LEAST $20 / hour (cash) out here in California!

I just want to post another double thumbs up for this incredible rig. 👍👍

That is some excellent information and math Lian! GOOD JOB! You have to love Mercedes for their attention to detail. Working on American trucks that were intended to only be 2 wheel drive and modified to 4X4 leaves us Gringo's in the dark compared to Unimog "engineering".

If I were to guess... I would say that they feel better mounting the mass to a structure that is rigidly connected to the frame ( like the cab) as opposed to the composite "box's" (habitats) & "floating" sub-frames that they fabricate (aka: cover your back end). I don't know squat about...

To each their own! A MPT 365/80 R20 mounted on beadlock rims weights 191 kg's (420 lbs), then add the mounting structure lets say 46 kg's (100 lbs), then the lifting davit 23 kg's (50 lbs) = 260 kg's ( 570 lbs) minimum. Add that kind of weight to the top of a structure that is not designed...
