    Unser neues Gelandewagen (Our new All-Terrain-Vehicle) | 2017 G350d Build Thread

    New Bumper install. Imported a Taubenreuther front bumper from Germany to NZ. The kit included a WARN Zeon 10 Platinum winch. I finished it off with a Factor55 UltraHook with Rope Gaurd. It was the only solution I could find that was rugged for serious offroad use and still allowed the full...

    Nice G! I'm on the hunt for a winch bumper for my new 2017 and I've found a couple of options from ORC and Taubenreuther out of Germany.

    Unser neues Gelandewagen (Our new All-Terrain-Vehicle) | 2017 G350d Build Thread

    Time to move on to another old-school, boxy, off-road proven vehicle of military heritage. Meet “Gisa” (German girl name meaning “carved stone”), our new Gelandewagen. She's not my daily driver and I do plan on on and off-road driving of course...must use her as she was designed to be used...

    AEV Brute: The Ultimate Overlander?

    Don't know if it's the "ultimate" anything, but it is the perfect balance of on & off road fun for my wife and I in New Zealand, where you're never really all that far from civilisation.

    Filson Bags - Available For Sale?

    What I like about the Filson is it is custom made to fit the space behind the rear seat which is quite tight in a Brute. Because they hang you get a better use of space as well. If I can't get them, or if they want too much for them, I plan on going to a local boatie upholsterer to have some...

    2015 (USA) / 2016 (NZ) AEV Brute Double Cab Build Thread

    Attached the RAM mounts on the JKE Dock. Very reconfigurable based on the trip. Holds phones, UHF Radio, CB, and action camera. Tucked up against the A-pillars or behind steering wheel so it doesn't impact airbag etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
