    A 6x6 Zetros or similar Arocs would be great if all you plan to do is zipp around the deserts. But for the EU it will be a very limiting size indeed... My land rovers only just fit around my hometown in Greece :D

    @RoamIt stated 38.8 / rear 47.9 not 39:8 @Roverchef I never said I did.. I think you were a little quick on the reply button there and the rest of the thread has followed suit. @RoamIt the VIN lookup tool also said I had difference axel ratios, but more than likely you have 38.8

    OK, so back to departure angle changes and proper models are very revealing indeed, basically too many compromises on design and costs, we get probably get close to 26 degrees by doing some box shaving but anything more there will need to be chassis cutting and hence the rear pivot would have to...

    They have everything it seems, they actually keep these trucks running for work, the place is massive! This will not be a quick process thou, I need to figure something out with the old man as he needs to be go-between, language, etc, oww and the guys dont do mail order! You might need to tip...

    PM sent, they also had several reconditioned 6 speed transmissions, I'm not sure about the OD etc. Was thinking of you @VerMonsterRV ?

    The majority of these 4*4 / 6*6 tippers (there are a lot of them) here have the snorkel fitted, I suppose that's why they decided to have copies of the original made.

    We'll have a homebrew STIS (semi-automatic) system for tire pressures (hopefully). We might end up getting a set of 20s for desert adventures but for now it's 22.5 because of the studded winter tire choices mainly. But I'm really digressing away from heating systems now ?

    If the floor heating proves to be too complicated maybe I just need to simplify things a bit, do you think you would have settled for less radiators doing this over? I was thinking one next to the bed, towel bathroom radiator and one in the elevated seating floor like in the picture below...

    Can I ask what all the heat exchangers are for? And water but not glycol / coolant in the loops? I thought the only place that water would be present would be in the water tanks and their respective plumbing.. The were the water flow temps i found for a floor temps not exceeding 27C ;)...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    So we spent the entire September in Greece at my father's house, I was working remotely for the most part but it was a real eye opener seeing all the old timer MB trucks there working away, we even got a tour of a MB NB expedition truck, more info below. We were lucky enough to be driving back...

    Dedicated Heating / Hydronics / Diesel heating thread

    I suppose the pumps in the furnace and engine themselves would act as one way valves in this case. I just saw that modern building standards state that when using wood floor the temps should not exceed 27C. That seems really low to me.. When trying to figure out the flow temps I am getting a...

    No LPG @charlieaarons ! Made that decision quite early on :) 2) I think i would rather go with a heater that supported the higher altitudes from factory, not knowing a lot about these sort of setups I want to simply interconnections, valves and pumps as much as possible.. 3) I think we have the...

    Dedicated Heating / Hydronics / Diesel heating thread

    Thanks so much @Joe917 ! This turns my thinking around for sure, I just priced the M10 units and they run almost as much as a full Truma 6D kit (these are diesel only @charlieaarons, no LPG), even with a smaller furnace I need to add the costs for pumping, fixtures and tank (which the Truma of...

    Dedicated Heating / Hydronics / Diesel heating thread

    So your heat exchanger is heating your water from the engine coolant directly (sorry for the dumb questions)? My initial thoughts is that I could just use the furnace directly on the engine coolant and run that loop through the calorifier boiler and underfloor heating with no heat exchanger...
