    Unimog 419?

    Sounds like an ex-US military SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator) Certainly not the best platform for 'overlanding' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-ifJR-U7ZE

    Mercedes 1222A.. The beginning!

    Congratulations. It looks like it will work well for you and you have a solid plan. And great job on the haggling. Everything is always better, when cheaper. I am glad you can get back to the more important stuff, like your truck :agree:

    Any Service in Germany to handle the export of a MB truck to USA?

    No direct connection with them as my truck was already here, but the shipping documents show it was shipped from Bremerhaven, Germany to Port Hueneme, CA by Horizon Auto Shipping Inc. So while I can not give you direct feedback on them at least they are familiar with this size vehicle as the...

    Size of Camper Box on a FG LWB

    Andreas is quite right. Compare the rear of his cabin with the radius corners to this Land Rover that I took a photo of in Spain. (Click to enlarge)

    Size of Camper Box on a FG LWB

    The main reason for the 'toolbox' in front of my cabin is so the cabin can be mounted 8 inches lower on the frame as it will not have to deal with the frame 'hump'. Also, the 'surplus' TC panels I got are only 12 feet long (I was planning on a 14 foot cabin). But the toolbox gives me a great...

    Andreas made 'rounded' corners on his build. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/165390-Mercedes-Sprinter-4x4-CrewCab-Expedition-Build-in-Canada? And here is Total Composites 'instructions' for 45-degree angles

    Size of Camper Box on a FG LWB

    Family Friendly 4x4 has a very good point. The length would certainly affect your weight & balance and CG. So that is definitely a consideration besides overhang and looks. I just use a photo editing program to draw with, nothing hi-tech. And that is actually a combination, as a friend is...

    Lowly the Lorry. . .

    Great to hear. I am rooting for you. Gee, If I had known you could just have checked box 6 I could have helped you out. I have a Nigerian Prince who emails me all the time wanting to transfer funds to the USA. I bet he would have helped. :sombrero:

    Size of Camper Box on a FG LWB

    I currently have a 14 foot 'moving truck box' on my Fuso FG. With the lip for the liftgate, it is a total of 15 feet long aft of the cab. That length seems perfectly fine, and even a 16 footer would be in the realm of OK, IMO. My plans are for a 2'6" long 'toolbox/storage' unit over the FG's...

    Unique Overland Truck For Sale

    Bumping your 'for sale' post every day to push it to the top is very bad etiquette and on many forums is not allowed. What you are saying is "I am so much more important than everyone else, I should cut my vehicle to the head of the line every day". As 19 of your 21 posts 'contributing' to the...

    Source and cost to convert dual-tires to singels on a MB lorry

    I believe Bill used factory U500 rims. They were about $900 each (plus shipping from Germany) when he bought them back in 2011. I'm not 100% sure, so contact Bill via his webpage to verify if anyone plans to go that way.
