Just caught up with this thread. Nice choice Scott. I have always had an interest in these, even though I cringe when I see them drive by here in the states all shined up on the way to pick up the kids.

:drool: I will be watching this with interest. I have always wanted an early 3 door. In apple green. With the orange plaid interior.

That's either one pimpn' stereo system in the back or on HUGE catalytic heater!

I have a couple of friends over here who break G wagons - one who lives in my village. If you have a need for any 'difficult to get bits' that can fit in hand luggage, let me know via PM. My eldest's Godfather is on the eastern seaboard every month and can UPS from his worksites. Same goes for Land Rover stuff.

I have a strong idea of just how much you guys end up paying for MB and LR stuff and despite the pound taking a dive against the dollar it can still cost and arm and a leg.

Pimpin' stereo. Check the speakers in the doors.

Phil,

you should applaud every 4x4 cruising the mall or helping to pick up the kids - the less people with 4x4 leave pavement, the less we have to worry about protection of nature. Besides, I love when its quiet out there.

So, how do you pronounce GELANDEWAGEN?

I always thought that it was G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, GELANDEWAGEN!!! :victory:

Love these trucks. There is a nice little fleet of them sitting on the camp Pendelton base in San Clemente. They are a pretty cool variant. A G wagen full length chassis with a cab and bed. The bed has a cloth soft topper on it.
Basically a troop carrier G-wagen for the RAF being stored on US soil.

Stephanie just wrote a fun blog on the Overland Journal site:

I enjoyed that. Beautiful rig!

I like the pic of the Canadian army truck....they're out blowing up the country side, but are worried about any oil drips that may happen. That's us Canadians for you, always so polite, we'll bomb the heck out of you, but we won't leave any oil mess for you to clean up after.

Think that catch pan may actually be there so that you can see if you're rig has been leaking anything?

Being parked on gravel, would make it pretty hard to tell if you've got a slow leak of any sort...

Just wondering!
