Hi, yes, looks professional. BUT dirt may get in the lock easily. So I have a installed a different system: The full story you find here.

Hi Ian, yepp, exactly those. On the front I got Marshall, on the rear axle Continental HTC after a problem 2010 with the Marshall in Iceland. Had heard there profile is a little bit more "negative" but I have to admit that I was a little bit disappointed. So I am thinking to try for the front...

Hi Ian, its an 1217A. Weight of chassis with Motor etc. ~5,5t. Weight with all accessories, spares, tools, 500l Water, 550l diesel, a generator from German army (mentioned that to point out that it is fuc... heavy! :-) ), etc. etc. it is at the moment at 11 tons! OK, the furniture is solid...

Hi, I had a fridge working on 230V in my camper van. I took it out and replaced it against one working on 24V DC. Reason: Even if the fridge was not working the converter used 1% of its power from the batteries. Because I have 2 converters (2,5 kW + 3 kW) the result was a permanent drain out of...

Hi Anton, sorry, the Vario is not my "battlefiled" :-) . You better check that out in the http://www.allrad-lkw-gemeinschaft.de forum. Don't worry, writing in English is not an issue! Any URL's / link posted here or in other forums are still valid. If you know go to www.gertenbach.info you...

Hi Anon (?), sorry, not at the moment. Started last year my own company and used the "popularity" of my homepage for my business. So the private part is hidden, but in such a way that the old URL's still work. Currently I am planning to create a new homepage which will include the old pages...

Hi, nice rig. Yes, truck for tunnels makes sense. A friend of mine services & modifies Landrovers and one of those had the same construction. Application was for team building courses in offroadcourses. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics. Re. : You know the smallest books???? - The complete...

Hi Neil, THE Neil from "Pat & Neil"?? :-) The 917 is a newer generation, the frame is lighter, so 9t is the max. The 1017 was as well available as a 1217, the only difference I know is the rear axle (planetary or hypoid style), so the chassis is much stronger. I am not sure if the 1517 has the...

Hi, I owned such a car, but only for ~3/4 year. Mine was extremely rusty, therefore I bought another one completely disassembled and restored it. So I only have photos, where the green one is partially visible. The pics show, that the car has been modified: The fenders are not original! The...

HI, Unimog have Portal-axles, G's not. The rear axle of the G is as far as I know the same as they used for the transporters, e. g. 207.

Hi, I manage to drive my "G" with 300D @21,5 mpg but this is with long axles, bigger tires and max. 65 mph on motorways The average du to German forums are 17 mpg or less.

Hi, with an additional support frame you can exceed (in Germany) 50% of the wheelbase to the rear. E. g.: Wheelbase is 3,6 meter --> /2 = 1,8 meter. so from the axle to the final end the cabine it can be 1,8 m. My cabine is 5,5 meter long. You need to remember that with such a large cabine the...

Hi, if you have read my pages and still have questions pls. do not hesitate to ask.

Hi, congrats! Haven't tested mine yet offroad but look foreward to. Never saw one yet WITHOUT a "butchers claw"! :sombrero: Pics would be nice! :wings:

Hi, in Germany the regulations allow any modificiation which was available within the first ten years after the car was built. So for a car built in 1980 you can install anything which was availabel till 1990, newer parts will most likely sacrifice the "H"-status. So, yes, a turbo is an...

Hi, thx to all of you for your kind comments.

Hi, looks great. Would have preferred the station wagon as well, but long wheel base is very rare - and I wanted to have a 1980 to get a "Historic Car"-registration. And all the extras - what a luxury!! Congrats!

Hi, so, so finally I found the time to integrate the G-Story into my HP, the update is now online.

Hi, since beginning of this week the engine is back in: The cables in the interior are fixed again, the steering mechanism is mounte etc.: some of the interior fixed again, rear bench, ... The Recaro seats are cleaned from the bird's ****, vacuum-cleaned and treated with carpet spray...
