    1120 AF Build in Norway

    My instruction book does not say anything about semi-permanent or full time 4x4 at all, I appreciate the testing notes, it will be full on winter here soon so icy roads will provide a good testbed. Need to do some more digging around on this topic it seems :)

    MB 917 vs 1120/1124?

    I think the raw base truck of the 1120 are just over 4100 kgs depending on your cab configuration/options (this is based on youtube). I was told a normal 5m 6 point subframe was about 6-800kgs. So at this point a lighter GRP kit or ex-military aluminium body might be your choices the later being...

    MB 917 vs 1120/1124?

    OK, questions.. I am really confused, some overspill in this thread from my build thread too.. How do i know if i have fast or slow axles? (FRONT AXLE, RATIO 39:8, REAR AXLE, RATIO 43:10)? The discussion over permanent 4x4 or 4x2 (4x4 then engaged with the low range transfer case) is still very...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Thanks! It was very much an impulse buy, we had only been musing on the idea of a truck instead of a van/smaller chassis (Daily etc) a week or 2 before we saw our 1120! Where abouts are you located? I bought the truck on a Norwegian auction site: https://www.auksjonen.no/ - There are a few AFs...

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Found the original manual! My Norwegian is poor but this motivates for practice! If anyone knows where I can buy a switch / handle for my transfer box let me know ?

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Thanks! I would never have been able to figure those symbols out o_O I also see there is an ABS cutoff switch, i suppose that is there to stop circumvent the ABS when offroad?

    1120 AF Build in Norway

    Low range engaged? I know these trucks have very low gearing but I have a question about my transfer case, I need to order a new lever/knob for mine it seems, can anyone tell me what position it's in now?

    Today was as wet as they come here (Norway), plus it gets dark at about 1530 right now. So After work I have most been organising wheels and tires! Pretty fascinating amount of confusion out there if you want to convert to single rear wheels. I quickly fell in line thou and abandoned the 20"...
