Hay Allan - what model MUTT do you need for your truck? We really should have discussed it during OvEx, missed that chance. If it's the right version for your needs, I've got the whole system sitting here in a Pelican case - if it comes down to it I can always FedEx it out to you. Not like the...

Ski - I'd be very interested in hearing about those other seats from the trade show. My experience with the Stratos was good, however I had less than an hour or so during a test drive, albeit over some decent terrain and speeds. They did perform much better than the National system, which is...

If I can find it, I'll post up a video so you can see exactly how they behave. I think Jon has found out the same issues. I thought about milling out a couple of pieces of nylon or UHMW, and getting a tighter fit on the tracks, to prevent them from making so much noise, but I'm not convinced...

Yep, I do, and the pivots aren't the issue. The issue is the general looseness and non-rigidity of the entire base, and the tracks on the seat itself. Plus the additional height - for me, if I'm setting the seat to have at least a couple of inches of travel (which will still give me a pretty...

I'll probably be ditching the National setup I've got, and going with the Stratos seats from EarthCruiser, when the build gets finalized. The Nationals really aren't up to rough terrain use - they work, but also have godawful squeaks all the time. Really annoying, and then there's the...

It's sounding pretty good, that's for sure. Nothing quite like that first roll out under power, is there? Congrats!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo What's with this "terminally settled" talk? As soon as you sell it, you know you'll regret it.

Nice....I can really feel my hair whipping back, and the wind in my face :sombrero:

I think all it does is specific gravity? Just looked it up...high grade prilled urea and distilled "32.5% of high grade environmental urea is mixed with 67.5% deionized water to create what is known in the industry as DEF or AdBlue " Not rocket science to do, and might be an interesting...

Welp, looks like they work. Any damage to them?

Good deal - really interested in your comments concerning EC vs ATW suspensions!

LOL...and a dealership strikes again. The regens are done automatically, I've never had a single time that I've had to pull over and do a manual, forced regen. Likewise, I've never had a single time that I've had to pull over while the system does a forced regen. Every regen has been done while...

Did you go for the extra points of having the beer can label facing out? :D I missed spotting that at OvEx....

There are actually a couple of different sizes of the ball mount - I'm using the larger of the two. With the ipad weight, I don't think the small, standard size would do so well.

I did a ram ball mount right between the seats, for the ipad. Eventually I'll move up up a bit higher, up on the dash. One thing to remember with the ipad though - they really, really don't like heat. As in "time to shut down, case is too hot" kind of behavior. When I do make a dash mount...

I'd also verify that it's pulling tight on the brake end of things, first. Might still be a cable issue. :coffeedrink:Unless of course you've already gotten there, in which case....back to my beer.

Sure you don't need another rig, Mog? If we were up in Oregon already, I probably would have gone ahead and grabbed one of these. Still looks like a good deal to me.

That's terrific, have lots of fun. Looking forward to your trip report!

Unimog frames are quite a bit different than FUSO frames, or any other ladder frames for that matter. There's a reason that they use tube members as the cross pieces, and not channel, beam or square/rectangular tubing.....

The Canter was never designed to be a "serious off roader", from the get go. Any more so than many of the Unimog models weren't designed for serious off road use. What they were designed for was inclement weather, city use in snow and ice, load carriers on muddy or loose surfaced roads. So for...
