    U500 crash, two firefighters killed

    I've heard throw momma from the train, but throw momma under the bus? That's just rude.

    hey Erwin is back! Get your truck back from "the man" yet? Or still mogless?

    2450 L RV Conversion Advice

    If you are planning on having a company build a body for the back, be sure to get ahold of the Mercedes Benz Body builder manuals. Unimog frames are designed to flex and if you compromise that system you risk damaging the Unimog or more likely, tearing your body apart.

    Is a Unimog for me?

    Something to keep in mind then, the Claas overdrive bolts onto the back of the engine, where the PTO would also bolt, you can have one or the other, so plan accordingly. Werner hydraulic winch would be a good compromise or a Superwinch hydro as well.

    Not to many DOT regs on a desert race track either

    U500 crash, two firefighters killed

    Did you contact Michelin? Or Continental (I think the MPT81's are rated up to 68mph?) Not sure if this tire is available in the NA market but it's the right size, and is rated up to 110km/h (check the load rating to be sure it's right for your application, of course) Just because the...

    Troll poop indeed. Has that certain unmistakable smell left on many forums he's frequented. Remember, this is the guy that told by-law officers he'd paint a swastika on his house..... It doesn't say "you own a U500 (which last I checked...Erwin Z doesn't anyway) you HAVE to run XZL 395's. It...

    G550 4x4^2 arrived at the dealer recently

    Using the same VIN (WDC4632551X270613) brings up the sheets for 463.234 in regards to the shock absorbers and springs as well (took a screencap of the whole system so you know I'm not full of $hit :) ) So the info for the 463.234 must be used in regards to service for the ZQ0 and related items...

    G550 4x4^2 arrived at the dealer recently

    Well you had me curious, so I had to remote home, put that VIN in (ever try to read a VIN from a picture on a window sticker online, remember the digits, then launch the EPC from a VPN on mobile? it's not fun!) The major assy's are not listed in the same way the EURO one's are, but if you dig...

    How about some 6x6 portal action?

    Maybe the North American VIN's don't list the Maj. Assy axles, the German G500 4x4² certainly do. All the service info is in there as well. The G650 LANDAULET is also listed in the system. It automatically flips you to the notes when you select the major assembly (front or rear axle, for...

    G550 4x4^2 arrived at the dealer recently

    No, because I said they will look "like" this. That's a data card for a G500 squared I have on my mobile so I'm using it as an example. I'd have to remote home to pull the notes for the vin in the OP.

    It will list the axle upgrades in the special notes. The vehicles are finished afterward. The notes look like this:
