    where_the_heffalump_roams 917 AF

    Maybe this is it: https://webautocats.com/epc/mercedes/4/m/366978/28g/15/030/?chasis=67619856S I went through the menus for truck model: 676.198 but I don't know what engine you have. The only one available here was 366.978. There seem to be a few alternator options:

    What horrible luck. Hope you have a long stretch without issue once these things are resolved. I believe this is the Merex he spoke of. They are in Germany: https://www.merex.de/ These knock-off EPC seem to come and go frequently. I have used this one before...

    Meertruck 1124AF

    That looks really good. Makes me start again to think about doing that to mine. I really like the new little window in the side. That will be unique to yours.

    unimog as work truck/adventure rig

    This would probably carry your stuff: https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Emergency-Vehicles-1995-Teledyne-Continental-Motors-A%2FS32P-23-8x8-Fire-Truck-California/9403825?h=5000%2Ct%7C4996%2Cl2%7CUSA%2Csm%7C0%2Cmf%7C1&rr=1&hitprm=&pnLink=yes But seriously...

    unimog as work truck/adventure rig

    Maybe a Mitsubishi Fuso? - not sure how those differ from the Isuzu. Full size pickups with slide in campers seem to be all rage today. You definitely have a lot of options for both and lots of support in the US. You could also do a flatbed. I guess you could look at surplus LMTV or HMMV if...

    unimog as work truck/adventure rig

    Capability aside, I think practicality would be what kills you. You need that work truck to work every day. When the Unimog goes down (as any machine will) you will have no idea how long or expensive it will be to fix. There are no local shops to take it to or parts stores to buy from - unless...

    U500 camper build - phase 1 almost done

    Yeah, we are hoping we can make a lot of decisions after attending. Mainly: where are we going to get our box made? OAT sounds like a really good option - thanks for the testimonial. I like that they have the big truck experience and fabrication skills. Something the Southern California guys did...

    U500 camper build - phase 1 almost done

    I really like the idea of only two fuel sources. How long is the box?

    Improving headlight options.

    I recently ended up using Auxito on everything. I found some decent reviews for their H4 head fog light bulbs and they also made most of the other bulbs I needed, so I just ordered everything from them. They all worked well except the turn signals. Even though the bulbs had "Build-in Load...

    Well done. There are so many decisions to make. Glad this one is done.

    Improving headlight options.

    I ended up on LED bulbs as well. I found an H4 that fits in perfectly in the housing. Not sure if yours is the same as the Unimog U1300 of the same era. Unfortunately though, LED bulbs are not legal in the US or Europe yet for headlights. I believe you can use them everywhere else. Can you...

    MB truck electric questions

    Scott at Expedition Imports is up there in the bay area. He deals mostly with Unimog but there might be some crossover and he probably knows the best way to get parts from MB up there. https://expedition-imports.com

    Warn recovery kit NEW located in Orange County

    Howdy. Can you list the load ratings on all of this - or what model number kit this is? Looks like there are two options - medium or heavy duty: https://www.warn.com/truck-suv-accessory-kits
