    Kuhl clothing

    I've purchased a couple pairs of their Sidewinder pants from REI, not too painful at $60.00. I do a lot of hiking trips and they've all held up great. I also make a living in the outdoors and wear them while working and they've held up longer than any pair of Levi's I've owned in the past...

    Coolant hose problems

    I haven't a single gripe about the G-Class. Little things come up every once and a while, but the incidents I have far too frequently have much to do with my hose clamps. Each of the gear-type clamps (unless I've forgotten one) has come off at one point or another. This only occurs on the most...

    Biggest tires?

    Hey Karl, Left to right the tires don't rub at all. When propped up on a curb measuring approximately 8" tall, the tires make the rub sound at full turn ONLY in reverse (??????). When one tire is propped on one of those boulders in my driveway approximately 28" tall which is about where one...

    Biggest tires?

    It's a 2003. About to roll over the 100,000 mark. She's getting old but I'm hoping for another 100,000 miles :sombrero:

    Biggest tires?

    No rub during street driving. It does rub at compression, but does not come in contact with either the fiberglass flares or the sheet metal above. It will take a toll on the plastic liners I predict which need to be pretty heavily modified/replaced with something "custom". I did a quick sketch...

    Biggest tires?

    325/60/18s, they measure out to approximately 33.2"x13.00"W. No rubbing in standard conditions (street aprons, et cetera). Rubbing: Took the vehicle out to the ranch to play around last night at greater angles and the tires do rub the inner liner once the spring bumper begins to compress but...

    Biggest tires?

    I'm finally wearing thin on my existing set and will be installing some larger tires within the next month. I will check with my local shop to see what he can do as not to bother Karl! Karl- we're finished on I-5 for now. Enjoy the new rest stops on your next trip! :sombrero:

    Taillights

    I had my second light develop several 1/4"-3/8" cracks right through the lens overnight while sitting in the garage. I believe it has something to do with expansion of the lens inside the black plastic encasing. Last unit was replaced completely in July. Last time I left the lens but soon...

    Biggest tires?

    Where can I go about receiving the reprogramming? Is this something my local MB mechanic can tackle with his fancy proprietary MB computer? I'm manning up to a 33" BFG - closer to 34" - pretty soon. Should I expect my ESP to put up a good fight? :sport_box

    professional roof rack cover

    I've driven approximately 15,000 miles with a Gore-Tex cover I had made for my Super Air Nautique. Unlike other boat covers which begin to weather and tear near the high stress areas on the bow and windscreen, this material has held up great. Saves me hours of scraping bugs from the vinyl after...
