All 3 lockers, so many switches.

Painful trying to get these to post. Has automatic chains, who knew?

Had to load a microsoft app. Still messing with it.

Did not think of this one, I'm not planning a lot of time in winter weather. But certainly it's going to happen. Note to self, wire roof seal area with thermostatically controlled heating tape.

OK, first, er, close enough, hand experience is valuable. I literally have not heard of all these problems with lifting roofs! I've been googling, and still have not had any hits? I did notice that the GX lifting roof models use 4.3" panels instead of the 2.36" panels on some of the other...

I did think about the dust, etc. We have seals on our engine's that can contain incredible energy/pressure. Surly there's seals out there, when used in the right combination, can keep dust out? Maybe I just have to slightly pressurize the cabin? :geek: Might help with water crossings too...

I've seen this, some pic's Martin sent me shows the shop floor and 4Wheel24 doing just that. All the pic's he sent came in .helic format and they won't upload here and I'm struggling to convert them. But If I figure it out I'll post the shots of what they were doing and some rigs they were...

A lifting bed is also being considered. If you guys have links about lifting roof horrors', I'd love to see them, pro or con. Of course, the Pangea was the inspiration, but another factor is the Doka cab. Without lengthening the WB, I'm restricted to a pretty small habitat when trying to...

A 25% improvement! Awesome! It's going to be the Porsche of Mercedes Overlander's. I'll have to put a whaletail on the back of it. :cool:

My main issue is the hills, not pure speed. Even with 300hp the limiting top speed factor will be the axle ratios/tires. There's going to be a lot of mountains where I want to go, going up them at 28mph would drive me crazy.

I appreciate the free advice! You guys convinced me, I just sent out some inquiring emails about wheels from Europe. Martin did say something about the brakes, and I've gathered from chatting with you guys that the brakes are not a strong point, use the engine brake/trans to descend. So...

I was told by Martin from Terra-Exp that there are several companies besides 4Wheel24 who do this. Since they build these on a regular basis, I'm going to trust they know what they are doing. According to the VIN, this truck is the latest model, code 356999 10 329135. Definitely going to...

As I understand it, since I'm starting with a latter model OM366LA, the 300hp tune will consist of adjusting the injector pump/timing. That's the extent of the 'tuning'. On this, I'm going to have to put my faith in 4Wheel24 to really know. Since it's a Garrett turbo, I was considering a...

I really appreciate the advice you guys are sharing- Thank You! I do plan on doing a lot of the mechanical work myself, not only to save money, but I don't want to be broken down somewhere and have no idea how things work/fit together. Installing shocks, springs, etc. is well within my...

I want to wait until it's built up and I get the final weight before I order any shocks/springs. Coming from my racing experience, you typically 'corner weight' your car, getting a weight for each wheel before adjusting spring height, spring rate, rebound/compression on shocks, etc. It makes a...

I have thought about having wheels/tires bought and staged in Florida, so I would have new tires/spare and better top speed for the drive. Challenge would be the other tweaks. Martin said I would need a lift, trimming, etc., to fit them. Any specific experience installing super singles on...

Thanks MOG, I think I'll need the all the support I can get on this project!

I did read his importing saga, he toughed it out!

Are big bills ok?
