Nice, they look very similar to our Nokian R-Truck Steer we have in the same size. We had them up and over Hemsedalsfjellet during this seasons first full on winter storm, sheet ice and 9% grades snowy downhills. Didn't perform too bad at all from someone used to driving with Nordic compound...

Great stuff! There will probably be a lot of issues to start of with, i bet she has not really been used in the past few years. You have rear wheel parking, I have never heard of these having 4 wheel parking breaks. You can test by parking on flat and hand rolling the front tire by rocking back...

Right, I'm going to take another look today. I don't really have an accurate gps yet. I had assumed I could calibrate based on tire circumstance...

Thanks, I think I have to do this because the circumstance on the tire is essentially a higher gear. I assumed this would be easy 😂

Hi! I am trying to calibration my speedometer for the new 385/65 22.5 wheels and tires. I'm not able to find this screw.. 😂 any help appreciated

There are pretty much no trailers, at least over here (Norway) that do not support 12-24V. My trucks systems are all 24V, including the trailer socket.

I actually managed to trickle charge my AGM starter battery the other day from my Lithium battery (I left the key rotated in my land rover, luckily the voltage senstive relay for the lithium battery kicked in). Lithium all seem to have similar charging voltages and profiles, even the starter...

We probably have the same alternator fitted if its an AV job? 51 amps at 24V is a lot for a 100A alternator, remember it has to power the truck electronics too, lights.. When I added up my planned light bar etc and good margin for truck systems it was 29amps I think. And the general rule is the...

Do not mix DCDC charging and mppt imo

When building the 4 point subframe Keep the central pivot floating to allow real world articulated tests, we had to adjust our central chucks quite a bit after the design phase.

When are you shipping the truck? You should change into new wheels and tires before you ship it over otherwise the fright costs for the super singles is crazy...

You have a glow plug on the inlet manifold like mine, and ABS was fairly common up in the north of the EU for trucks late 80s and early 90s. The ABS switch from the manual is below, it is called cross country ABS mode. I am not sure the argument about cab suspension for the spare on the roof...

In EU/Norway this is not an option if you do not want to extend the wheelbase, overhang is very limited to 60% of the wheelbase and it quickly will eat into your living space. There is a reason for the existing MC/carrier designs..

The 3.65 wheelbase btw is excellent! Turning circle better than most full size trucks of 11m. I would not extend the wheelbase personally, you will loose a lot of that dexterity.

Check the door frames from the inside first under the floor mats, that's normally the first place. Apparently from the inside out from salt on people's boots... So I was told.. The leaks were fine really, just something to keep an eye on, especially if she hasn't driven a great deal, which of...

Sweet! That is a beautiful truck! I might be biased thou ;) We have the same truck without your fancy split gearing (we have the 6 speed). 50,000Kms, ours was also like new but I found some rust under the passenger side floor liners and we had to renew most of the injector seals and top...

Some notes, do you really need 110v charging with a 2kw solar array, DCDC and a generator? Almost everywhere is 220-240v... I suppose you have a good plan for a rather large alternator for 3*17@24v DCDC charging? Do not wire in your MPPT DC chargers into the starter batteries, they are very...

OR an AV support group?

I thought these MB trucks were supposed to be super reliable? Or was that super repairable? ;)

Super nice! Can you share the plans for how you built this? i think we have very similar rear boxes!
