    Mercedes G-Class 4x4² and Unimog U5030 Extreme Off-Roading - Video

    I can only shake my head every time I see folks driving off road like the Devil is chasing them....that is no way to treat such fine machines. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How long is too long for an expedition truck/camper?

    Sorry, did not see this earlier.... With the spares on the back, my G is a bit over 15 feet Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How long is too long for an expedition truck/camper?

    Ah yes, the old question... And everyone will have a different answer. I think in the end that it will always boil down to where you plan to take it. Larger (longer) rigs will outperform smaller rigs in some places and underperform in others. Since I travel the small military roads in the Alps...

    Fire Pan for Restricted Areas. What do you use?

    This thing rocks.... http://www.petromax-shop.de/petromax_de/grills/petromax-atago.html Not the smallest, but not all that bad either. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Professional version to return!

    Well, if it is being sold in Europe, it will have to meet Euro 6 standards...not sure how that compares with US standards. It brings up another point, though...Euro 6 on a diesel likely means some kind of SCR system...which is a problem if you want to drive in places other than the first world...

    Professional version to return!

    I take your point.... but just because you can find something that is like a G and can do many of the things a G can do, doesn't mean that the extra value is not there. Let me tell a little story about two cars I drove exclusively for three years each: One was a Mitsubishi, the other a BMW. I...

    Professional version to return!

    It would be nice, but I doubt it.... (trying to be pessimistic!)

    Professional version to return!

    Well, complaining about the price of a Mercedes vehicle is irrelevant; you either are willing to pay it and feel you get appropriate value, or you don't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Back when I was buying my W461 (2009 280 CDI), a new one modestly equipped, went for around 80000 Euros. Today you can buy nice...

    Professional version to return!

    Maybe something for the Land Cruiser forum then? I won't discuss parts availability for the G....MB is present all over the world and parts have never been a problem....enough said. Why get excited over the return of the professional model? well, the original G Pür/Professional were based on...

    Professional version to return!

    well, more information from MB in Germany...looks like these are actually built on W463 chassis. So, in my book it really isn't a "professional" model at all. It wasn't the lack of power windows or the rubber foot mats that made a G Professional a professional. It was the military grade, heavy...

    Saw this great bit at off-road.de: seems the G professional models will return to production. https://www.off-road.de/de/aktuell/testberichte/archiv/der-neue-g-professional/

    This would make an awesome overland rig

    I disagree.....besides, that excessive lift makes it look ridiculous. But to each his own!

    Anyone having trouble ordering from Orc.de?

    Today is a public holiday in Germany, so nobody will be there. Also, today thru Sunday most of the crew will probably be down at Abenteuer Allrad expo in Bad Kissigen. I have dealt with ORC many times in the past and have never had a single problem...it's a good crew down there. Best bet is to...

    How'd you learn to take care of your vehicle?

    Amen to that! If you can't get the skills you need that way, then you will never get them!

    Cirrus 800 Truck Camper

    Not trolling, just wondering.....what exactly is eurostyle?

    Had to post for a quick laugh this morning! (Not Mine)

    Going to need more than a 2" lift....... :-)

    What is your favorite belt?

    laugh all you want, but I got tired of looking for belts (previously I usually went with leather) and finally decided to craft one out of 550 cord. Best belt I have ever had. There are many styles/methods that you can find on the internet (Google 550 cord or paracord belt). I went with...

    Snatch Block Pull Weight

    You might be overthinking this.... Your rigging ( snatch blocks included) need to be rated to the highest load you might pull. It is that simple.
