Aircon is definitely on my list of future wishes, not sure what route to go but i think id like an integrated unit because I want an over the cab roof rack.. I want to house the start bank inside the cab and use it for peripheral devices in the cab too, so it basically just boils down to...

Maybe 100 would do it, I am planning on using a 50a 24v DCDC charger from RedArc for my 12v bank but the cab will also house litium start batteries, a separate inverter, about 500w of extra LED driving lights, our dometic fridge and 2 60w USB-C laptop charging stations. That is the plan anyway...

Hi! Has anyone tried using standard gutter mounted rack bases on their MB gutters like the ones from frontrunner below? I know there will prob be a fairly low weight limit compared to those bolt on custom rigs..

I actually opened the doors while tilted. They are not that heavy IMO (comparing to modern land rover doors) and certainly didn't rip off ?

Thanks so much, replied in mail ?

Hi, I am looking to uprate my alternator for 50A DCDC charging (as well as supplying power for the cab's inverter and other toys). I am a little confused about the mounting types and options. Does anyone on of a 150Amp 24v alternator of good quality that can simply be swapped out?

Amazing work, makes me want to paint my chassis!

Sure, no worries! How do you tilt the cab currently?

Today was a learning experience,we couldn't release the parking brake (because we didn't know how it worked correctly). Plus side we tilted the cab and followed all the neumatic lines and values to their respective ends back to the tank. The truck has been sitting for 2 weeks now but we still...

Really appreciate the fast feedback, goes to show how much we still have to learn. Basically there was no fault but my own stupidity. The ventilation and defrost value was open.. I saw almost 6 bar still in the system when I tried to release the brake. I'm not sure what the value is called in...

Fixed, thanks!

Hi, my truck has been sitting now for a couple of weeks, there was still air in the system and it fires up to 8 bar really quickly. All the other neumatic systems seem to work fine but the parking brake won't release. No sound coming from it at all when engagement and disengaged.. There has been...

From LN2 forum it states that simply removing your foot from the gas engages the engine brake also:- "The foot actuation valve acts on the shut-off cylinder of the injection pump and the actuation cylinder of the engine brake at the same time. There is a supply at the actuating valve, when...

The same rims you have i think (110 offset)

What was the focus on external reservoirs? The amount of servicing you will have to apply to them is daunting if they are anything like MTB damper units. shim stacks, seals have to be serviced regularly as the external reservoirs facilitate adjustment in the form of high and low speed on both...

Quick update, the cab and pump are coming off this weekend! My single wheels/tires are being prepared in Germany now because there was a cancelled order so I do no have to wait till January. One question, Ulrich mentioned in a recent email that "There is only one important thing: On the rear...

Thanks a bunch for the insight everyone, esp @Sitec and @VerMonsterRV for steering the ship so to speak! So we have a schedule and the FD box is coming off the chassis next weekend (hopefully), seems we are looking at breaking even with price of aluminium these days, the transport costs to the...

Hi mate, I just ordered some 385/65 R22.5 Nokian R-Truck Steer (3PMSF). They seem to have a pretty aggressive thread. Of the options I had (Hankook AM15+, Bridgestone and Michelin XZY3) I was recommended the Nokian tires. I also have a bias to Nokian coming from winter driving up here in the north..

This is really good advice! thanks @Sitec! I will go that route and delay ordering the spring kits and tank. My plan was for a 1:1 render in sketckup but i do not have the exact dimensions yet for the hab and subframe.. aigner seem very busy at present and it seems work will not be getting...
